I'm not sure where I found this recipe but for those who are like me and don't really like the taste of the Protein powders I found an alternative that still gets you 27grams protein. I found it on this site a few weeks ago but I haven't been able to find it again. It was apparently made by a nutritionist. 8 oz 1% milk 4 oz egg white substitute (found in egg or milk section of grocery store) 3 tbl powdered milk 1 tsp artificial flavoring 1 packet of splenda You can mix and match the artificial flavorings my newest combo is half tsp vanilla extract and half tsp of imitation root beer flavoring. It tastes just like a root beer float!!! Hope all enjoy!!!! Amanda (chucklesab):thumbup:

Ok the whole story. Been heavy nearly my whole life. Decided it was finally time to change the whole dieting bouncing back thing. Researched banding a year ago but couldn't bring myself to really get into the process for financial reasons. Started searching again a couple months ago and found out that medicare pays for it if you go to a center of excellence. I am in the process of getting the things done that medicare requires. I am halfway through my psych eval and I go for my stress echo on the 5th of August. I am so excited with the whole process. My current weight is 430 with a BMI of 78.2. I am so excited to finally being able to do something more permanent in my weight loss journey, and I am extremely glad I found this site, which I must admit was homework from my therapist lol. She told me I had to find an online group or a live group somewhere so that I could talk to people who have had and are in the process of having this done. This site has been so very helpful and I know it will continue to be throughout my journey.

I am so excited I have just completed the last of the medicare required tests before I can get my surgery scheduled. So here it goes, the journey is truly beginning. I love this site!!!!
