You are alm...Aaargh, the liquid diet is HARD to do. You are almost done, and wow -34lbs in May alone? That rocks, girl!!!<br /><br />My favorite protein RTD is the Premier Protein (choc. or vanilla) from Costco and I hear Sams started carrying them too. My favorite protein powder is Jay Robb and it's easy (for me) to find at my local grocery store, sweetened with Stevia which I like. I tried Click and don't care much for it. Sigh. Plus I was a big dummy and didn't do my research on the amount of caffeine it has in it and the last thing I want to develop is an ulcer...even the link between caffeine and ulcers is unproven, I am not taking chances with my new baby tum. Good luck on finding one that works for you and hang in there on liquids...they do suck don't they?Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01948575816814642269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410479600032004466.post-87105834177890346582011-05-23T07:43:21.334-07:002011-05-23T07:43:21.334-07:00That's funny, Jacquie, because I get diarrhea ...That's funny, Jacquie, because I get diarrhea every time I have a protein drink, too. I was hoping that would end soon. I am planning to get some Click, but I was going to wait til a little later. I hear ya about those afternoon slumps :)Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06861056012088329810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410479600032004466.post-47403396435522958202011-05-23T07:04:22.671-07:002011-05-23T07:04:22.671-07:00Glad you are physically doing so good being 1 week...Glad you are physically doing so good being 1 week out. I remember the liquid stage from my band surgery so know what to expect. It sucked big time. I dont have to do a pre-surgery liquid for my VSG either so that makes me smile.<br /><br />I was told that S.E.I Max is really good and it is...however, I get gas/diarreha every time I drink it! I just ordered some Dessert protein powder. Heard really good things about it and will let you know. Atkins shakes are also good but I have the same issues with them. Click Espresso is delicious and I have no side effect from it at all. I love it as an afternoon drink because it has lots of caffeine and it gives me a good boost during the dreaded afternoon slump.Jacquiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03612121609893900847noreply@blogger.com
