Great-I think i may try some-they have their tubs on sale for $47 right now...tks for the tip

The best Protein I've ever tried' date=' labrada pro v 60 in vanilla ice cream. My brother gets his supplements at cost and he paid for mine, otherwise, it is a bit pricey but u get a huge tub that lasts!! It tastes so good too![/quote']

Can u taste that powdery Protein 'slick' that a lot of them leave on ur tongue?

Sounds delish-tks!!

I love sardines!! Good Protein content & great omega3's!! I love them on crackers, but can't have those yet so few more wks till sardines for me

diced avocado ' date='salt ,pepper ..... Scooped up with reduced fat triscuits ........ Hey now, good fats,Protein,fiber from whole grain. There is some debate at our house if this constitutes a meal? It's enough for me ![/quote']

This sounds really good!! Great idea..

I use propel in my Water. sugar free and zero calories.

Propel is really good!

How about sugar free gatorade? Do they make a s/f Gatorade?

Yea-it's called G2....tasty!

With the band' date=' healthier foods weren't going down for me - like vegetables. Carbs, otoh, went down easily. Not great for a weight loss tool. My port shifted, then the area got infected. They removed my band and did my sleeve in the same surgery. I only had the band for 2 years and lost weight at first, but after a while it did nothing and just made me throw up a lot. Glad it's out.[/quote']

My thoughts exactly!

Ask away-that's what we're all here for

I just had issues with mine-had a leak @ 1 point, my port wasnt sec correctly, so it was always hit & miss for a fill-dealt with overfills & underfills, was dropped by ins @ 1 point ( medically unrelated)...I did well the 1st yr & a 1/2, but then I wasn't able to tolerate good foods anymore...when all ur living on is slider foods-its horrible. Once I'm healed, a friend asked me what is it I so want to eat-anything-the most decadent treat ever...my reply-I want to taste a green pepper...

I can totally relate! I had my band 4 yrs & hadnt touched bread, Pasta, potatoes or the like since-not even eggs would go 'down'. I had my band to vsg revision surgery a wk ago tomorrow...when I woke up-they gave me back my band-creepy-but it made me realize just what I had been dealing with...I've had no issues since my revision...never took a pain pill, not even for the 4 hr plane ride home. My Dr says I can start puréed anytime now, tho I'm a bit apprehensive...this is the longest I've gone without 'sliming, urping'...so, I'll wait a few more days & stay with the liquids. Good luck to u guys!! I already feel better havin the sleeve as opposed to the band.

Awesome!! Of course we're gonna set up

A reunion...we'll work it out somehow! So glad to have met u guys!!

Very good read!! Tk u
