... And I find it disgusting! Well, the Cafe Caramel anyway ... For many months now I've been drinking Atkins shakes for breakfast, my absolute fav was their Cafe Caramel Latte flavor (recommended by LJM! :smile:) ... so anyway, last week I go to the store to stock up on them and the shelves were empty :crazy: and a store employee explained to me that Atkins was changing their packaging and they expected the new product to come in sometime later in the week. Well, I need breakfast dammit :mad2: so yesterday I drove around to different stores trying to find some. Ended up finding them at Ralph's in all their new packaging glory :biggrin: so I bought every single case of Caramel that they had. This morning as I was tearing away the cardboard to get one out I read "New Look / Great New Taste!" and I thought ohh nooo! Sure enough, they screwed with the taste and it tastes like crap. :w00t: I sent an email to Atkins letting them know how disgusted I was as I was trying to gag down their shake ... idiots! So now I have 2.3 cases of this crap sitting in my fridge ... ya know, it's one thing to change the packaging but why mess with the taste??

Thanks for the info ... will check out that snackaisle.com. Well, I did good yesterday until dinner ... the family wanted McD's so I had a snack wrap (which totally jacked my carbs up for the day!) Then a couple/few hours later when I had a sweet tooth, I had my last Atkins Endulge bar. Those are so good! :laugh: And before I went to bed, I drank some milk ... right outta the carton. :smile2: So yeah I definitely went overboard with my carb intake, with that and the 2 days prior I am now up 2 lbs Need to get back on track .....

What exactly is edamame?? I've heard others talk about it on here ... assumed it was some type of nut so I looked for it at the health food store (the place I drive 40+ miles to for the Caramel Latte shakes ) but couldn't find this edamame :confused2: Welcome smsmithart! Congrats on your upcoming surgery and best of luck to you on your Lap Band journey! :laugh:
