The protein is what you need in order to lose the weight. My Dr. said without it your body goes into starvation mode & keeps the weight on. If you keep up the protein I'm sure you'll start to notice the difference. I was banded 11/2 & I'm down 35 lbs without too much exercise. Keep up the good work!

I take Nu-Tek Pro 5 -Cookies & Cream flavor & I drink it with milk. I also take EAS 100% Whey Protein- Vanilla flavor & I mix with orange juice (I also put this one in the blender when I make a smoothie)
