What are you favorite ones?

I did buy the Curves ones this morning. A friend of mine who had the surgery told me she drove to Planet Nutrition everyday and had the strawberries and cream one but I need good ones to make @ home.

Hey Carrie!! It's me Kelly:biggrin0: Wendy said she gets a whey protein from Target in a huge tub. Chocolate and strawberry flavors.

I am so excited, I go for the seminar on the 27th. I already faxed in my paperwork!

I am so excited for us and I thank God that you posted about the sleeve. I had no idea this was an option, what a godsend!

(((Kelly))) Welcome to VST! I love it here! I wish I wasn't so stressed out right now though:(

Just found out that GNC lets you buy protein shakes and if you hate em you can return em.

I am glad to hear about the return policy from GNC, because I bought the Isopure and honestly I can't stand it. I am using the carnation instant breakfast no sugar added (my doctor recommend it) so I usually do one as a hot chocolate in the morning and 1 around 4pm and I like them

I'm going to the grocery store tonight after I have my "last supper" and stock up on Soup, yougart, and will get some carnation breakfast.

I am assuming that I can have SF Cappacinno, correct?

Carrie,

We have the same surgery date! I am having my last supper at Olive Garden tonight and then its all liquids. I'm terrified so keep me posted and we can cheer each other on. I've heard the preop is one of the most difficult parts!

I forgot to mentioned that I use the Skim Plus milk, which it has 11g of protein per cup.

I just wanted to say hello and welcome you to VST!

I've been using the GNC Optimum Nutrition Rich chocolate Flavor. I also have Chike Protein powders but don't like them as well post-op as I did pre-op. Muscle Milk Light in the RTD container is ok. It tastes like chocolate milk. I got them by the case at costco.

Vitamin Shoppe will also let you return items if you don't like them. I buy their ready-to-drink Isopure in bottles that have 42g of Protein in each drink. I tried the powdered Isopure and couldn't handle it. I do like the nectar brand - I have vanilla which you can mix with just about any fruit, extract, etc.

As for a hot drink, which feels so good after surgery too, I use BariWise hot chocolate mix. It has 15g of protein in just an 8oz serving. I buy mine from the Diet Direct website, but other websites also sell that brand. It tastes even better to me than regular hot chocolate mix. They have a Variety box with all their flavors in it. I've tried them all so far and the Cinnamon is my favorite. Since it's the end of the season, these are on sale at a pretty good price right now.
