Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 yes, the pre-mixed are canned using a similar process as baby formula BUT you can't open one, drink half and leave the rest in the fridge for later of the pre-mixes either. But, yes, they have the preservatives stuff to can with. > Then how do they have the drinks that you buy?

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 I wouldn't know why not. Matter of fact that sounds like an excellent idea. Betty Re: newbie w/questions Hi Gerry! Remember me? Welcome to the List! You can find the syrups, shakes, etc. at a variety of places. My favorite is Vitalady. She is a list member. Her site has everything that you are looking for. Snacks - string cheese, sf jello, sf cookies, raw veggies, the list can go on and on. I try and get in a shake or some sort of water at least every two hours. There are portable shakers that you can purchase that make this possible. Some of us even take empty water bottles and put our shake powder in a baggie and when we are ready - mix and shake with 6 ounces of water. Just remember as " Protein Shake Addicts and Perverts " we can do this (the name came about because we were so gung-ho about getting in our protein.) My 2 cents... Going back into lurk mode... Carol Richmond, VA >>> " creatingdeva " creatingdeva@...> 10/02/02 12:34PM >>> Hello everyone, My name is Gerry and I had lap band surgery 9/10/02. I found out about this website today and am overwhelemed to say the least about all of the information available here. Before the surgery I never wanted to even HEAR anything about how to take care of my body and what I put into it. Now I'm feeling at a complete loss because there is so much that I now need to start incorporating into my life because of my new precious tool. So, I will start off by thanking all of you (in advance) for your patience w/me and my questions. I also ask that you try to give answers to me in " protein for dummies " format. (smile) Ok, here are my questions: 1) What is a pervert? Not an actual one (I know that answer) I read someone asking to be considered a 'pervert' and wondered what she was talking about. 2)I work VERY LONG hours and plan to start back to school in January. I am also the mother of 2 teenagers (and my new 3 yr old doggie, Buck. How od you get in multiple shakes a day when you're constantly on the go? 3) What would be considered some healthy snacks (besides jerky) that I can use to snack on. Noticing since I've been back at work that I'm really snacking (stress--but have been snacking on jerky or crackers) 4)I've read posts here about lots of additional powders, syrups & supplements that you all are taking and/or adding to your shakes. Where can I get access to them at a reasonable cost? Approx. how much do you spend per month on these type of supplies? 5) As a newbie to the world of post-op's is there any advice or suggestions that any of you can offer me for maximum weightloss and health? Again, thanks in advance for your feedback and insights. I look forward to learning from and losing w/each of you!

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 Then how do they have the drinks that you buy? Another preservative added???? Just wondered... Betty Re: newbie w/questions Yep, you can't cuz the protein grows " cooties " in it and breaks down the good stuff... Best to use old " water bottles " and put the powder in them " to go " and grab some cold water from the fountain or the fast food places an d pour, shake, drink, yum!!!!!!!!!!
