what can I substitute for the brown rice protein powder? And could I use splenda in stead of sugar?

I can't eat 98% of food. Like you said, 3 weeks ago some things were ok, now if I eat them they totally make me nauseaus or I don't like the taste. I have NO idea what's going on....pretty irritated. If I do find a food i like ok, within 90 minutes I'll have the runs (sorry-tmi) so I'm not sure how I'm supposed to maintain any semblance of nutrition

so, I was banded monday 2/25 yay!!!!! but.....i am going broke trying to find out what taste good and gets my Protein requirements and is acceptable in phase 2. I've tried different Protein drinks, powders, sf jello's, pureed Soup with Protein powder, protein smoothie type drinks. Diet snapple, diet lemonade nothing really sits well with my taste buds. its nerve racking because i hate wasting money but i try to remind myself to be patient with this process. I have NEVER eaten like this before and its probably going to take some time to find what taste good, what works and stuff. Anyway, needed to vent to my sleeve family Ok, tomorrow I'll try again......

you guys look awesome!! I could look at before and after pics all day they're soo motivating

Hi guys! So excited to be apart of the February Sleevers 2013!! I started at 258.8 2/17 weighed in surgery morning 2/25/13 at 248.2, and today I'm 239. I had a great hospital stay no complications. Great nurses I have pain in my right side like a stich when you work out too hard or walk too long. I get full super fast and am having a terrible time getting in the protein and liquid requirements. But, I'm hopeful each day will get a little easier. And I'm wiped out. You guys give me lots of motivation though and I'm really glad for that!
