I found a yogurt drink called "Pillars" which I like. It contain probiotics and has no fat. The 32 ounce version has 15 grams of protein and 70 calories per 8 ounces, and is thin, so it goes down very easily. I find it is easier to get protein in my body through this drink than via any other method. It's not very sweet because of the low sugar, but I like the taste of the mixed berry and strawberry banana versions.

solman reacted to kristieshannon in Skin Care products to avoid plastic surgery after gastric bypassSorry to say, but no skin care product is going to keep you from hanging skin after massive weight loss. Genetics, amount of time spent overweight, and amount of weight to lose are all factors. If you are young, have good skin elasticity, and haven’t been overweight very long you may not need PS. If you’re older, have poor skin elasticity, were significantly overweight, or overweight for many years you will likely have loose skin.
I had my sleeve surgery at 49, was overweight for most of my adult life. After losing 140 lbs I had lots of loose skin. I had a tummy tuck, breast lift & augmentation, and arm lift in January. I’m planning on a thigh lift next year. I’m so glad I had these surgeries, but even if I hadn’t would still be glad to have lost all the weight.
