I really like whey gourmet Peanut Butter and chocolate.

You get them at netrition.com

You can buy all sorts of stuff there, and no matter how much you order, the shipping is 4.95

I usually drink a Protein drink almost every day because I am lazy and it's the easiest way for me to get my Protein in.

I drink muscle milk light... It comes in a bunch of diff. flavors. Right now I am drinking Cake Batter. YUMMY. Its about $30.00 at GNC for a tub of it. They make pre mixed stuff, and it is not as good as the powder you mix yourself. I am only 3weeks post op, so I drink it in the morning. I cant drink the full thing of two scoops so I may try to do only one scoop in morning and then one scoop later for a snack, maybe after I run... I haven't got a system down yet:(

But for two scoops its 195 calories, which is good compared to alot....It has 6 of Fat 11 Carbs and 25 Protein 1 fiber.... Just make sure if you get it, you do the light because the normal stuff has alot higher calories. I have tried Isopure before, and couldnt stomach it. It was like a watered down koolaid to me. MusleMilk is like a milk shake, very filling and I dont have to force it down.

Hope this helps :thumbup:

Muscle milk is delicious. I've never bought it in a powder though. I've had the chocolate ready made that I bought at costco and it's so yummy.

I am going to look for this at GNC when I go out of town as we don't have a GNC here. I'm going to be on liquids again after my revision surgery.

There is a big difference between the muscle milk and the light muscle milk light.

The whey gourmet Peanut Butter and choc. is 120 calories

2 grams fat 3 grams carb

I like any of the BSN Lean Dessert powders. Absolutely no aftertaste and it feels like a treat.

where do you get this? I have never heard of it.

      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!!
