I am scheduled for surgery November 1st. I am not nervous about the surgery itself, as I have had a few in my day, no biggie. Iam concerned about getting enough protein afterward, which seems to be the running theme for all of us...just chasing down protein day and night. SO...that beings me to my question, has anyone tried the "New Whey Protein ( Read more... )

I've had more than one incident lately where I've mentioned something in passing to another WLS'er in comments, thinking that everybody knew this thing, only to find out that it was news to that person.

Since everyone was raving about Nectar, I bought some samples from Vitalady.com. Thing is, they came in these little plastic baggies with no instructions for mixing whatsoever. I think each bag has a scoop and a half in it - can someone who uses these products tell me the power to water ratio?

Anyhow, the one I found that I really like is IDS Multi-Pro Whey Isolate - Vanilla Cinnamon.   Of course, instead of ( Read more... )

Iceblink sent me this a couple weeks ago to try and I have to admit I was a little afraid to try it because it's in a test tube and is almost neon orange. I poured it over a cup of ice and am sipping on it now ( Read more... )

I bought a 6 pack of these because they were on sale for $3.15. If it's on sale I just can't resist trying new things. I'm kinda dissapointed. I didn't expect these to be amazing being store brand and all, but I didn't expect them to taste the way they do ( Read more... )
