I was wondering if you gals still drink those shakes after a year. I always hated them, but maybe it's time to pick them up again?

I'm glad I'm not the only one tapshoes. Eating is fun, and I love it...hence my problem. Drinking...well unless it has alcohol in it or it's just plain Water I'm just not that into it.

Ps- I am not an alcoholic, that was a joke.

One can stop taking protein shakes once they reach the stage of solid foods. Instead of shakes try to get the daily intake of protein from solid food and a good whey protein powder. One can find proteins in beans, meat, eggs, dairy products, fish, fruits and vegetables, cereals, etc. My friend visited her doctor Dr. Nilesh Patel at Lap band Austin last month and consulted him regarding the drinking of protein shakes. He only suggested one can replace it with other items and can take shake every alternate day, if she wishes too.

I should pick up on them again...when I do drink one in morning mixed with flaxseed meal it holds off the hunger monster much longer, and I tend to eat less during the rest of the day... the shakes are also what I turn to when the weight in a plateu. My therapist recommends I go back to back one a day...she wants me to start again tomorow actually...
