Thanks, I'll try the Whey Delicious too. I'm going to hold off on the Luna

bars for awhile tho; I'm sure I'd like them but they have so many carbs and I

believe sugars, that I want to wait until I can be sure I'm going down down

down first. I want to lose 100% of my overweight if possible, not 80 or 90%

like statistics say we will. Your loss looks great Judy, I hope I do that

well!

Sheryl, good for you for asking about individual cans. Had I ordered

just one or two, I might now have ordered more. They are OK, but the

sickich sweet aftertaste from the sugar substitutes takes getting

used to.

Hi Sheryl

I am 5 weeks post op. The shake that I liked pre-op, I couldn't stand

Post-op. My suggestion is to wait - before spending lots of money on

shakes.

I also found that making my own shakes works best for me - there is a

basic recipe in the files section of this website - I love it now!!

Combine:

1 small container yougart

1/4 - 1/2 cup cottage cheese

1/4 - 1/2 cup egg beaters (white)

Fruit of your choice - I've been using fresh pineapple and peaches

1/2 cup liquid (some use crystal light - I like juice myself)

3-5 ice cubes

Put everything in the blender and enjoy!!! Each smoothie equals 23-29

grams of protein depending on what you add. I have even added

vanilla, or almond extract for a little twist.

I hope you enjoy.

Micky,

The biggest difference between other protein drinks and the Whey Delicious

is the latter is berry flavored with no chalky taste. They are now going

nationwide to be sold by surgeons too because so many of us can tolerate the

berry flavor over the other stuff post opt. I cant explain it but you gotta

try it. Its absolutly wonderful and I wished I had known about it before I

tried all the other stuff.

Even the smell is great!!! Smells like fresh berries in season!

Hugs, Judie

>....do you have any good recipes youve cooked up yet at home?

Not for shakes.

I am the cook in the household, though, but I rarely write things

down. I like the challenge of seeing what's in the 'frige and what's

on the shelves and whipping up something that is unlike what has gone

before. But, my cooking is conventional, not DS or RnY related, as I

eat normal things, just less of them.

Recently, I rolled boneless beef shortribs in flour into which I had

mixed salt and pepper, braised them in olive oil, then sauteed onion

and garlic, put the braised shortribs back in the pot together with

finely sliced carrots, celery and fresh mushrooms (and diced redskin

potatoes) and added a bit of Worcestershire sauce and a bottle of

heavy dark ale, covered and baked in a 325ºF oven for 2-1/2 hours.

Yum. For variations, I use barbecue sauce stead of the beer and

Worcestershire sauce and add fresh corn-on-the cob after first

cutting the ears into four or five pieces.

I bake fresh salmon fillets at 430ºF in a convection oven for 20

minutes. First, I slather Chinese duck (sweet and sour) sauce over

it. Or, I marinate them first in a combination of Japanese sake and

light soy sauce (Tamari sauce).

etc.

My cooking was one of the ways that I got fat. Actually, it wasn't

the cooking; it was eating it that did the damage.

I just received the whey stack from Vitalady and it is awesome. I hated

protein drinks before......tried many. This stuff is good and no

aftertaste!!!! Try it! The green apple nectar is also a nice alternative but

not as good as the stack! I still have to try the Proscore 100.......Hoping

it is as good!

What dense calories? My shakes have 160 kcal per, with 3 g. carb, 32

g. protein and no sugar. I mix with water or sugarfree stuff and I

love 'em. If you mix with milk or juice you will get extra calories

that you don't need.

I'm with you. The one I use is 120 calories, 20 grams of protein, 3 to 4

grams of fat, 2 to 4 grams of carbs.

Hi Cindy,

I was lucky that the very first protein powder I tasted I liked. It

is Optimum 100% Whey Vanilla Ice Cream Flavor. I haven't tried it

alone, but I'm getting there. I usually add half a banana, half an

apple, 2 or 3 frozen strawberries, 8 oz water and maybe 6 ice cubes

and blend in the blender. I have ordered sugar free banana and

strawberry syrups from vitalady to get rid of the actual fruit, which

may be adding too many calories to the shake.

Good luck!

Got my Vitalady protein shake samples today along with the DaVinci syrup

(white chocolate.....my favorite flavor of ANYTHING). I noticed with the

paperwork that she is know stocking Protein Delite. I can highly recommend it.

I

have had the strawberry white chocolate (see I told ya) flavor and the lemon

cheesecake. Both are pretty good when mixed with 8 oz of water.
