Okay, THAT was disgusting.

I had ordered the mini Protein sampler (without the book) from BariatricEating.com. It came with a bottle of vanilla Very berry Protein Delite On the Go, where it has a premeasured scoop of powder in the bottle and you just add Water and shake. Apparently, this brand has chunks of stuff in the powder, freeze-dried fruit in this case. I just tried it, and it is pretty damn disgusting. The flavor of the actual Protein Drink is not horrible (not good, either), but the problem is the chunks. I have found that I don't LIKE chunks in my Protein Drinks, it makes me gag. Plus, it looks like vomit. It mixes up to a grayish-purple with dark chunks in it.

That's the GREAT thing about their sample packs--you aren't stuck with a month's supply of patented Gag-A-Maggot.

I found the nectar "Lemon Tea" to be the worst so far, but I'm a fine Southern woman, and I take my iced tea seriously.

Cerrin,

Right back atcha. The first time I saw your siggy, I thought, "The only way there's a skinny woman in me is if I accidentally sat on one at the ball park" :):eek::confused:

All,

I have found the ultimate (for-now, for-me, your-mileage-may-vary) Protein Drink. Tastes just like a Smoothie-King pineapple/orange/coconut fruit smoothie. YU--UMM:

1 scoop Jay Robb's whey Protein (Pina Colada)

1 packet Crystal Light On-the-Go (Sunrise Orange)

16oz Water (water flavored, duh)

============

153 calories, 24g whey isolate Protein

Jay Robb's is available at the Vitamin Shoppe, or you can order samples online at Jay Robb Official Site - The Fruit Diet, Fruit Flush 3 Day Detox, All Natural Protein powders

Vanilla Ice Cream Gold Standard whey 100% Protien by (ON) is the besssssttttt stuff out there. You can just add anything, mix it with a spoon and go. Great flavor. Get it at GNC. I know I sound like a comercial but, I, along with some good banding friends enjoy the fact that we can add Water or milk or juice or friut and it will still taste good and wont make you gross out.

Laurend, could you just strain it? If you like the shake I mean.
I really don't like the flavor enough to go to the trouble of straining it. It's just not good.
I found the nectar "Lemon Tea" to be the worst so far, but I'm a fine Southern woman, and I take my iced tea seriously.
I haven't tried that one yet, but their Roadside Lemonade is gross. The Apple Ecstasy and Strawberry-Kiwi flavors aren't too bad, if you like very sweet, candy-flavored things.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
