Hi P! I made a file of protein drink recommendations that I have seen on the boards and am happy to provide them to you! Happy drinking! Lisa D. "Andronicos for achieveone protein drink. Trader Joe's sells a "Worldwide-Pure Protein" shake in a can that is a Cappucino flavor" "Champion Nutrition Pure Whey Staack in Chocolate....tastes great allstarhealth.com has it for $24 for a 5 pounder and they are in CA so it comes fast (I ordered at 1138 and had it by noon the next day) I mix my protein with ice in a Bullet Blender takes me 4 minutes from start to finish to make and that includes rinsing the blade and gasket and cup(I pour the shake into a disposable cup so I can take with me)" "Champion Nutrition Pure Whey Chocolate....I just used my sample yesterday and it was yummy. The vanilla's not bad either. I wasn't crazy about the Cappucino one though---blech!" "I got mine from Vitalady.com." "ordered samples from wlssupplies.com. you can get 6 samples for about $9... I just ordered 12 samples and a big jug of isopure vanilla" "EAS CARB CONTROL about 4.99 a 4 pack at walmart. I like the chocolate flavored ones... I used to like the strawberry" "MET-RX PROTEIN PLUS.....AND WEIDER BODY SHAPERS IS ALSO A GREAT TASTING ONE....BOTH IN CHOCOLATE" "Some people like Unjury protein powder. Comes in chocolate, unflavored and I believe vanilla. Check out unjury.com"

Someone had posted some foods to eat that were high in protein and I wanted to copy. Now I can't find it on the board. Please repost. Thank you!

All right who is up to the challenge??

Who has not heard about the Walk From Obesity??
If not check it out, www.walkfromobesity.com

This is an amazing cause to help educate, support, and research obesity. We can make a difference. Not only that, but it gets us active. Now for those who still can't walk far, it's not about the distance you walk, it's about gathering for a good cause and supporting one another.

Just over a year ago I would have never done something like this. I'm going to be working with the group in Columbia, Sc. There are 70 walks all over the US and OH needs members who would be interested in representing us in these walks. Some slots are already filled, but if you would be interested in volunteering your time please email me [email protected]

Anyone else, I hope you will join us in walking for a good cause. To be in the walk is $25, you get a t-shirt, and fellowship. What else can you ask for, so I challenge you to sign up today in your area.

Ps. It doesn't matter what city you decide to walk in, we are ALL walking together on September 24th.

I just got back yesterday. I had my band placed on 5/26/05. My starting weight is 235. I am just looking to connect with people in my area and find out more about what is to come. Here is a quick summary. I had the surgery with Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey, Mexico. He was fabulous! He said that he was able to stich the band on both sides of my stomach (which I guess they cant always do) and shouldn't have to worry about slippage. I haven't felt sick r thrown up at all yet. I am getting pretty tired of chicken broth and jello though so would love some new full liquid options. It is great to know I am not alone and would love to meet some people.
