Same here! :thumbup: Sounds good! Plan on trying it tonight (minus the spinach tho :biggrin:) Thanks for sharing! I drink the Atkins shakes ... one for breakfast most mornings and occasionally another as a snack later in the day.

Courtney ~ I am so sorry to hear you've been going through this ... I think you should definitely contact Dr Kuri's office and perhaps go down there to get checked out. As far as it being dangerous to go down there, I was just there in May for a fill and didn't have any problems getting back & forth across the border, and the new hospital that he is in now is awesome and I feel safe while I'm there. Dr Kuri is great and really cares about his patients, so give his office a call and ask to speak to him personally ... voice your concerns and let him help you. The link to his site is in my signature and you can get the number there ... Best of luck to you in whatever you decide to do!

Been using TDP for almost a year now ... Love it! My name on there is the same name I use here

The last time I tried steak it did an immediate u-turn ... I tried Trader Joe's Authentic Carne Asada, it was really tender and I had no problem with it so that is another option if you find you're not able to do the steak. I eat hamburger meat all the time and have had no problems. I currently have a pot roast cooking in the crock pot, it'll be the first time I've tried that since banding so we'll see what happens Good luck on your Lap Band journey!

I'll have to look for that one ... I use the Nestle CoffeeMate Hazelnut FF Creamer and it has 5 carbs per 1 T (25 calories) ... they make a sugar free but I've heard it doesn't taste good so I've stuck with the fat free. Thanks for the tip though, I'll check it out next time I go to the store :thumbup:

Hi Alfie ~ I use the Fat Free Hazelnut creamer ... I've been TRYING :thumbup: to be good by actually measuring how much I put in instead of dumping and like you I add some packets of Splenda too. I am so addicted to them! Trying to limit myself to 1 a day in order to keep my carb count down (but it hasn't been easy!) I had like 3 yesterday :thumbup: ... I haven't had one yet today so I'm doing good so far :cool2: Sounds like you are doing good ... glad to hear you're feeling great!

Wow, I'm sorry to hear ya'll are having problems with Splenda ... I use it almost everyday and haven't had a problem. What are you using now for a sweetener?

Read through this thread ~~> click here <~~ to get an idea of what people are eating. Hope this helps!

Can't stand the unflavored as it has the "funny smell" and no matter what I put it in, the "funny smell" wouldn't go away but the chocolate and vanilla mixed with milk both taste good :Banane30:

Yup, I posted a thread about it ... I sent a complaint to Atkins and of course they sent me a generic "uncaring" response. I was really hooked on their Cafe Caramel Latte shakes ... but now their new "Cafe Caramel" tastes like crap! Of course, I didn't know this when I bought them and bought like 3 cases of it (still have 2 cases sitting in my fridge) but yeah, I noticed the new disgusting taste! Find the thread I posted (in this food forum), in there is a link to send a complaint to Atkins
