Not really...

I don't use Protein drinks. The only time I did was after surgery because you can't eat for a while. Once I reached the soft food stage they were gone. This was the medical recommendation I received. I was encouraged to get protein from real foods even if that meant puree (in the early stages) I would occasionally use unflavored protein powder in the foods I ate but in small amounts were I couldn't even notice it. There is no need to have protein shakes.

That was YOUR program. All programs are different. And some rely on protein shakes for a while to get enough protein because they can't get enough from food alone. I was one of those. I still have a Protein shake almost every morning for Breakfast at 15 months out. Not because I can't get enough from food at this point, but because I find it easier for my routine. I'm below goal, and my blood work is textbook.

So there is no need to tell people what they do and do not 'need', mmmmkay?

I don't like most premade Protein shakes but I do love my Shakeology vanilla with a little fruit in it. Now I might have to try a little pumpkin since someone mentioned it. I like the Shakeology because it has so many other nutrients besides just Protein so I feel like I've covered my bases on my first meal of the day. I do still take my recommended Vitamins as well.

Long Division-Let's just say I stopped understanding math when the alphabet decided to get involved.

49ers- It just not as fun making fun of them without Harbaugh. Go Hawks

NSV-I sold all my XL Seahawks Jerseys and bought new one's in size Small.

I was thinking "this person must not be drinking the right kind of Protein if it tastes that good" at first. LOL I am beginning to even hate the word protein at this point. Love my new figure though!

I find that those Isopure Zero Carb clear drinks go down better with lots of ice and a shot of vodka.

Yeah...I'm one of those that still needs 1 Protein shake a day at 6 months out. I tried going without, and I stalled FOREVER! 1 Premier chocolate protein shake a day and I'm losing again!

@@SeahawksFan - me too - the number and alphabet thing... and then put it on a graph???? WTF???

I like some Protein drinks but I don't like them all.

FYI - prostate exams equate I am sure to mammograms. that is where a woman can watch them squish her breast into a pancake!

I f****ing love them too...like having my nails ripped off the beds of delicate tissue beneath. If I never have to drink another one for the rest of my life, it would be a start to a fulfilled life. I've tried in times of necessity and self torture to drink one, but I can't drink more than 4 oz, then I'm hurling the container into the trash can....NO MATTER what kind.

Oh and since we are talking football....I f***ing love the Eagles too...and they also suck ass this year.

I'm sorry I can't read the second word in your title....could you elaborate?!

I love the dentist. You get new teeth and a lighter wallet.

@@Alex Brecher -- May I never come home from the dentist with "new teeth." I want my old, natural-born ones -- the ones I grew all by myself -- just spiffed up a bit.

I like my protein shakes well enough and I love the ravens and yeah I'm in the they suck this year club plus my god the injuruys this year wtf is with all the injuries

I have a Protein shake everyday for Breakfast for the past 5 years....

I invested in a very good (expensive) blender, and I use either the freshest fruits or vegtables to make the healthiest drinks possible to start the day....just need to add a scoop of Protein powder and I'm set.

May contribute to me not being hungry all day, not to mention the energy...and what it's doing for my skin tone, etc.

Also prevenatives against cancers, and other sicknesses...boosts the immune system....

Like to see anybody come up with somethig more traditional for breakfast to compete with that...that's a lot of eggs, oatmeal, etc...YUCH!

I'm glad WLS forced me to discover this lifestyle...and I have come to learn that people everywhere, WLS or not, are doing it because of the benefits...

Learned to stay away (obstain) from meat.....also feel the benefits

Add to that daily exercise, plenty of Water,

Gee...all that because I had to take a Protein Shake.

I love protein shakes, AND exercise..

I love protein shakes, AND exercise..

You wash your mouth out!
