I had Surgery 1/14 have lost about 20 pounds my weight before surgery was 233 ...Happy with my sleeve!!! I find myself constantly in the supermarket looking for things that I can eat that are high in protein or fiber. Tonight I got fish sticks put them in my toaster oven had a little tarter sauce this was my dinner...who the heck do I find in the kitchen cooking the rest of my fish sticks!?!?! My husband, mind you he has a pasta dish with turkey meat,salad and bread sticks ....OMG!! I wanted to throw the dam fish sticks at him!!!

Proudgrammy, I love the EAS strawberry protein carb control.

I love my Protein shakes still and I'm three months out!!

laura-ven - Ms. AntiBand

so........tell me when was the last time you had your head examined??

from what i read, MOST "normal" people - including me - disliked "strongly" their Protein Shakes

i tolerated them while i was supposed to drink them

i do make them on occassion now cuz i'm minus protein for the day - but i bought this large bag of frozen fruit , i put about 1/2 cup in blender with the powder and milk - tastes a little better

ok, now that i've dissed the Protein drinks - everyone else who likes them raise your hand

ok - i see one, anyone else

raising a glass of Protein shake to your health - now YOU drink it

Well proudgrammy it's a proven fact I'm crazy!

Have you seen some of the advice I've given around here!

And miss AntiBand well...she's just lazy that's why she drinks them.. Oh wait that's me!

Most people do like their protein shakes. They are healthy powerful drinks. Those who use them long term to maintain weight loss are not lazy!!! They are very smart and most likely will have the most success with sustained weight loss. Some of the negativity on this forum gets to me sometimes.

I cleaned out all the "bad" food and filled it with healthy stuff we could all enjoy, just be glad they are eating the healthier stuff and trying to do it with you. Just don't let them eat the last one or make it known they must fill it back up. Nothing like thinking about a granola bar all day and getting an EMPTY BOX! Grrr throw the dang box away please!!

I am lazy, lol.. My shakes are premixed and in Lil cartons all ready for me. No powder for me.. Yuck!

I think Grammy is just poking at the protein shake container with a sharp stick, Melissa. They can be difficult to deal with when you can't have anything else. I am sitting here queasy from my eleven millionth freaking protein shake so I am in total sympathy with her.

Oh yes Grammy is just joking around!!

I LOVE GRAMMY (and I think she loves me too)

And for the record, anyone who wants my protein powder - husband, neighbors, cat next door - is welcome to it. Two more days and I move to soft. Mr. Scrambled Egg, on Monday, you are mine!

Oh yes Grammy is just joking around!!

I LOVE GRAMMY (and I think she loves me too)

Awwww bud

He eats everything!!! Peanuts' date=' Almond, fish sticks,crab cakes,Jell-O even my cottages cheese!!!! To add insult to the injury guess what he buys me for Valentines day?!? A BIG BOX OF CHOCOLATE!!!![/quote']

i can be silly sometimes, never meant to offend ok - still friends

the Protein shakes are a necessity for all of us to drink post WLS

i'm glad you like the shakes - you have no trouble drinking - that is really great!!!!

we need all the protein we can get

I don't think i said or even implied that those who drink Protein drinks for a long time are lazy, never would be negative here (or most anywhere actually)

OMG i would never say that

i wouldn't say **** if i had a mouthful

is it ok that i say the sh... word???

oh well, if its not ok, the sleeve police will be around to bleep me out

omg - just coming back to re-read my post - and i see the sleeve police did visit

as far as my "fellow supporters/sleevers" that don't like the shakes, welllll....

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES!!!!!!

Melissa - holding up a glass of protein shake to your health, ok??? really i am ok????

friends right?????

good, glad thats done!!!!!

Maybe you need your own frig shelf and cupboard space that is off limits to the rest of the gang. Or buy some red yard sale stickers and mark your food with the stickers. Make it clear that when there is a red sticker, it means STOP, don't eat this it's moms. Your husband and children can learn to respect that these special foods are what you need to continue to improve your health. I love the idea of them eating healthier but still think you should be able to have what you need clearly marked or in a special area that you can count on to be there when you want/need it. Good luck!
