I am new to this site and usually just read forums for the information. Never really posted on them. I was banded January 23, 2009. Dr. Groves in Albertville, AL done my surgery. I have lost 110 lbs so far. I still have 47 more pounds to loose till goal. I have been at a stand still for about four months now. I was filled again yesterday so I am hoping to finish loosing the rest of my weight. My question now is does anyone use the protein powder to get in all the protein we are supposed to have each day? If so, what kind and how do you use it? I am looking for ideas. I have tried a couple of ways but not stuck to them. I am needing to get serious with it so I can meet goal weight. Thank You from AL

Hi racgirl:

I can't do the powder protein so I do protein shots, they can range from 26g of protein to 50g. I drink the fruit punch it seems to be the easiest for me to swallow!

Good luck and congrats on the weight loss that is phenomenal~~
