I can't stand those Protein drinks....so, I use a Protein powder in my Soups and this seems to help me. I figure it doesn't matter much whether it's a yucky chocolate Protein Drink or if it's Protein Powder in your soup!!

There is one that isn't too awful I tried it's made by Hackley Health Management called HMR. They have a 100 cal shake a 120 cal and I believe 160. You mix them with Water and ice and I toss in a banana and they don't taste as nasty as the others. They're creamy and they don't make you burp up that nast y Vitamin taste. They're not as cheap as others, but I find them to be much better. I also asked the nutritionist about them and she said they were good...

I was also banded on 8.29! A little frustrated that I lost 11 pounds in the first 6 days and only one after that, but otherwise doing well. I feel comforted to hear that others are having issues with sleeping as well. It is all I can do to get up in the morning, get to work and get home. I started soft foods this week and go for my first fill tomorrow (9.14). I don't remember the name of the Protein powder I'm using but my husband found it at GNC. It is chocolate flavored. I mix it with a little skim milk and some non-fat frozen yogurt which makes it taste like a milk shake! I couldn't do the other drinks they suggested (diabetic ensure, etc.). They all smelled like baby formula to me! Good luck to all of you!
