Congratulations!

I'm hooked on Syntrax Nectar powders. I buy them off Amazon, keeping 2-3 tubs of different flavors to mix it up a little. They are so simple to mix and travel with, just using a Blender Bottle, Water or any kind of milk, a scoop or more (depending on size and preference), maybe a little fiber and voila! - ready to drink.

I think I have sampled the nectar before, and I think it was good. Another thing I recently tried was freezing Protein Shakes, and making them into a

popsicle but I didnt like it too much

I like "OH yeah" Protein drinks, grab and go. Flavorful and good Protein. I also use a powder called "Choco Rite", they have many flavors but I love the banana and the cappuccino the best! Good luck in your journey!

Banana? That sounds interesting! Thank you! there are sooo many to try. I have always been a boring person, and I stick with the same thing, even when it comes to eating. I need to be more adventurous

Why wouldnt I?

I need to maintain my Protein levels to support my muscles and over all nutrition. It is also a safe way to ensure I am getting enough Protein, as I dont always get enough protein from food.

If you are 2 years out, why do you drink Protein shakes?

Why wouldnt I?

My favs have been

EAS AdvatEdge RTD-coffee and chocolate flavors are AWESOME! strawberry not bad, either.

Pure Protein powder-Very rich and creamy

Designer whey powder- Several good flavors

If you need unflavored, I found Jay Robb egg white Protein powder to be the closest to tasteless, as 'unflavored' does not necessarily mean taste free.

That is another thing I havent tried, coffee and chocolate together... Does the EAS AdvatEdge RTD have caffine in it?

unjury make s good protien powder and so does Chike.

I havent tried "Chike" yet..... Thank you

I am still struggling with finding a Protein powder/drink that I actually like!

I like the Premier Protein (chocolate), but that seems to be about it.

What is your favorite Protein powder/drink?

I like simple recipes; I am not big on blending drinks. I just want a good Protein powder, or one that is ready to drink!

Thank you!

Happy Sleeve Day!!! I look forward to hearing about your big day!

I can relate to this as well. My BMI was on the lower end when I had surgery, and some of the people that I did tell would make comments like "you don’t need surgery" or "your not that over weight" or "you can do it on your own".

So it did make me feel reluctant to put it on blast that I had the surgery. It wasn't until about 9 months out when I realized that it really didn’t matter what others in my life thought, I did it for me, not for them. And I know it was the best decision.

I dont eat out too much, but when I do I must admit I feel bad and think that the waitress/waiter think I didnt like the food or something.

For me, I always order the normal size meal, but I only eat a fraction of it. If it is anything with bread, I typically eat 1/4th of it and then I get to take left overs home...

I am almost 2 years out and the one thing that I still can't do is mix fluids with solids...

Left overs are always awesome though!
