Just curious to what everyone's favorites are? Back in the day when I did low carb I really liked the Designer whey Protein powders.. are there any other ones that are good? GNC is having a sale buy 1 get another 50% off.. since I'm on the liquid diet.. for real now.. I bought 2 of those Isopure drinks that have like 40G of protein.. it was okay..not bad at all... that's an awesome amount of protein for that one drink...and it has zero carbs and zero sugars.. and I kinda figured it would be a good mixer for rum and vodka.

I also like the Muscle Milks and the Atkins RTD are okay..but I'm soooo sick of chocolate..lol I'm not a sweets person AT ALL! I rather have cheese and crackers, guacamole, a steak, etc...

Today is my first day of the pre-op diet (band date 02/11). My doctor wants me to drink a Protein shake for Breakfast, Protein Shake for lunch, and then eat 6-8 oz. of lean protein with 1 cup of vegetables for dinner. I need to lose 7-10 lbs. in the next two weeks on it or they may reschedule my surgery.

My nutritionist recommended Myoplex Lite and Lean Body for Meal Replacement shakes. This morning I had a vanilla Lean Body for Her shake with 1/4 cup blueberries -- it really wasn't that bad. I got a good tip from a fitness friend to freeze skim milk into ice cubes and use that in shakes -- it definitely helped. For lunch, I am going to try a chocolate Myoplex Lite shake with skim milk -- we'll see how that goes, since I'm at work and don't have my blender.

I have been using the Unjury, Inspire (from Bariatric eating) and Nectar (Syntrax) and really like them. I am fine with mixing with either skim milk or even water.

Girl, you're lucky you get to eat a meal... every surgeon is different but most of the people have to do 2 weeks of liquid... that's what I was supposed to do..lol I kinda deviated from the norm...like I usually do.. I did have a couple of eggs a few days and a few slices of lunchmeat and cheese some of the other days.. My surgery is on Friday so hopefully my surgery is on friday..

Hey Ally!

First of all.. I love your SN: FeelingGroovy brings that song from WAY back in the day by Simon and Garfunkel and now that's all I'm saying... "feeling grooooovyyyyyyyyy" lol

Otay hon..do you mean the weight thingamajigie in my signature? if so.. you just click on the one I have.. or anyone's and then go to the home page and then start from there.. I think I picked the BMI one that they have.. then just follow the directions and you can copy and past it into your signature which is under your profile stuff.. Hope that helps...

My favorite is Click. It is a protein shake with coffee in it. They have moca and vanilla latte. I like the vanilla best. I heat it up in the microwave and drink it for breakfast instead of coffee.

I get it from Drinkclick.com but it is availabe at amazon and BTV.com as well. I add just a little creamer and then mix with Water and heat in the microwave. It is delicious. It can be made cold as well.
