Lol you must be looking at a different drink. This one is mixed with hot water. I mix it with boiling water (it blends well).

Just want to let everyone know that all hot drinks are 20% off right now at bariatricchoice.com. The protidiet protein hot cocoa is a staple of mine most mornings (with coffee mixed in)! It tastes just like regular cocoa.

My loss has been slow and steady. Started around 190 (bmi 32). Month 1: 15.6 lbs Month 2: 4.6 lbs Month 3: 8 Month 4: 7 Month 5: 6

I started around 190 and had surgery on 7/31. I'm around 145 now. It's slow but I didn't have as much to lose...about 15 more to go.

I'm good...148 today, goal (according to dr) is 125-130 but I'd be happy to maintain in the 130s. I can't believe I'm a size 8 from 16/18.

I started at 188 too (bmi 32). No regrets at all. Good luck!!

Dr. C has group every month in multiple locations. I went to one in San Jose at the Good Sam Hospital but I haven't been in awhile...

East Bay Area...surgery by Dr. Cirangle in SF (at Concord John Muir.

I drink it with water (about 12 oz per scoop) but I may try milk soon for the smoothie taste. It's not bad at all...just play with the amount of liquid.

My bmi was 32 and I had/have high blood pressure. I'm 4 months out and have about 20 more lbs to lose but it's going verrrrryyyy slow now. I don't regret having the surgery at all, but it's a huge adjustment. My surgeon completely supports lower bmi patients...he says he can do it now or wait until you have diabetes/high bp, etc since it's likely to develop. So why wait?

On www.emilybites.com. Soooo many ideas-I want to try them all! I used a pack of meat and split it to make both cupcakes. I froze a few and my husband ate most of the taco ones...gotta make em again.

Just made the lasagna and the taco cupcakes. Omg. Taco is my favorite for sure.

I agree. I feel a ton better but some of the old problems/habits still exist. The TOM still makes me crazy and all I want is junk!
