Topic: RE: Super Target....
I used to live in Minnesota, the home of Target, so we had the SuperTargets all over. I love that place!!!! Unfortunately, there are none here in the Los Angeles area. In fact we only have one Target Greatland, all the others are just regular old Target stores.

Topic: RE: Why do all protein drinks taste like vomit to me?
I had and have a REAL problem with prot shake type drinks... I think it comes from being on a medically supervised liq diet years ago and I just cannot stand them!!! YUCK! GOOD News.. Have you tried Isopure (sp?) I buy the o carb ones and get them from GNC. I buy it bottled but they also have it in powder. My favorite is the orange but they have apple melon, grape, alpine punch and so on.... IF you are having problems getting your protien in with the shake type you might give this a try... It has been a life saver for me. Hope it works for you. *They have some that are not 0 Carb.. But the 0 Carb ones are really good!

Topic: Super Target....
Good morning! I've had several emails asking me about something I mentioned in a resent post. MOST everyone likes or loves Target and no it was not a type O when I said Super Target. lol Super Target is basically SUPER ha ha - It has groceries, pharmacy and of course our regular Target stuff. I know they have them in Indiana, Louisiana & Texas. I'm a huge fan of one stop shopping and being able to do it at Target is a plus. PRODUCT ALERT... For those of you that have tried and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Water Sensations liqui packs they are also avail at Super Target for a smigen less then online prices and not having to pay shipping is a bonus! If you havent tried Water Sensations it is something to consider. I sort of like crystal light and liked the On The Go packs that you can put in your bottled water... anyway, I tried Wat-Sen and have to say that it is by far much better then any other water flavor additive that I've ever tried. So far, everyone that I've got to try it loves it. AND now that I know I can get it locally I don't have to be so stingy with it! Okay... enough from me this morning. Hope everyone has a great day!

Topic: August 28th Check In
Hi Everyone!! I am home. Surgery was uneventful. Had one really rough day dealing with pain but other than that...I am on the other side. Finishing up some fluids and will take a much needed nap in my own bed. Hope the other August 29th people checkin soon. Traci

For my calcium I take twice a day TUMS smoothies smooth dissolve tablets in assorted fruit flavors and they are actually good, not at all chalky like regular tums. Each tablet has 750 mgs of calcium. Trust me if it was nasty I would not do it. Which is why I am so glad that I found a protein shake that does not taste at all like protein. I think I posted it before in this board but I will post it again. You have to try it! 1 level scoop choc protein powder (I use designer Whey) 1/2 cup of Skim milk or Soy milk 1 tablespoon of peanut butter 4 ice cubes *Mix in a blender until smooth it tastes like a reeses peanut butter cup, and the peanut butter kills that nasty protein taste. Glad to hear everyone doing so well!!!!!!!!

Topic: Why do all protein drinks taste like vomit to me?
This is so terrible. I haven't found a single one I like. I've had packet upon packet of different brands and flavors and they all smell and taste terrible. I can't wait until I can at least eat some protein. I was doing fine with the Worldwide Pure Protein shakes when I was pre-op, but since surgery, the milky based shakes make me sick to my stomach to even think about them. This protein thing is like a sick joke. jacie

Did you just say Super Target? We don't have those in Michigan but I LOVE Target and it sounds like HEAVEN!! Hmmm, maybe I should write a letter to them and tell them we need one out here. Julie

Hello Everyone! I had LAP RNY on August 9th. I have officially lost 25lbs. I had my 3 week post op appointment yesterday. My liver biopsy showed mild fibrosis of the liver which is common with fat around the liver. I have to follow up with my Gastro Dr now. I too can't stomach the protien shakes, and I am struggling with getting all my fluids too. The vitamins are fine but I can't eat those chewable Citrical Calciums ... Gross .... I was happy to hear I can swallow a pill now so I will be happy to take a calcium pill. My loss has stalled for about a week now, seems like as soon as I could eat softer foods. I am retaining fluids big time. Dr says that is normal. I hope everyone is doing great.
