FYI: I finally found a protein powder I LOVE!!!

Since being banded on the 4th, I've desperately been searching for a Protein shake or powder (to add to skim milk) that I really, really liked and that made me want to really, REALLY drink it. I found it! So, I'm going to share my discovery with you.

I found it at GNC. It's expensive, but totally worth it. I got the Rich Milk chocolate flavor and it's called "Pro Complex". It's 60 g. of protein per serving. HOLY MOLY! What I'm gonna do is split the serving each day. I'll have 1/2 serving (of course that would be 1/2 the powder as well) in the morning, and then the other 1/2 later in the day. Let's see if this finally helps me get full. Nothing else is working.

Oh...I'm also gonna check online to see if I can get it for a lower cost somewhere else. It's kind of outrageous, but since I have 1 more week of full liquids to go, I think it's totally worth it. :bandit

Thanks for the advice. I am being banded on Saturday, Jan 19th in Acuna, Mexico by Dr. Jose Rodriquez and have been trying to find a protein drink that 1) tastes good, 2) has a good gram level of protein and 3) is low in fat and carbs.... this is the one I'm going with. I bought a container at GNC and tried it tonight; it was very tasty, thick and creamy! I also used Tavismommy's link to the discount online and bought another container for my return from Mexico... it was about 40% less what I paid for the same product this afternoon at GNC.

Again, thanks for great advice!

hmmm, i wanna try that one, but my doc has a list of protein shakes we shud stick to. he mostly wants them to not have more that 110 calories per serving

all star health sells the same size for 27.75 or 49.95 for the double size with 5.95 flat shipping no matter how many you buy. Supplement warehouse has the small one for 29.95 but they advertise that they beat an advertised price by 5% so you may check that out. Either way it is much cheaper than GNC.

Hi Everyone, just reading up on past posts. Just want to add that this may also be a good drink after exercising. For I read after any extreme exercising you do, you should take in about 90g of protein within 2 hours after exercising. So I'll be giving this a try. Since I exercise after work, this will keep me from overeating when I get home.

Keep those helpful tips coming. Thanks
