Topic: RE: Looking for less expensive protein shakes
I should have been more clear. What I am looking for is a protein shake that is a complete food -- you can live on it.  I know that Medifast is, and one other one whose name I forget, that you can't order directly, you have to get it through a professional (MD, RN or nutritionist).    I am looking for a weight loss product.  I have never seen an off-the-shelf product in Walmart or anywhere else that is both a complete food (a complete meal replacement, you can live on it) and a weight loss product. Are you sure that GNC or Walmart carry such products?  I haven't looked recently, but in the past, the ones in those stores were clearly marked "not a weight loss product" or they indicated that they were supplements to, but not replacements for, regular food. 

Thanks

I use the muscle milk light.  I have tried many shakes, and this is the one I like the best.  I get it at Nashua Nutrition, and I buy it online.  You can get it at GNC also.  I pay about $25 and one container lasts me about a month.  I usually have one a day.  I like the chocolate with instant coffee or peanut butter, and the vanilla with crystal light orange or cherry pomegranate.  I didn't particularly like the strawberry.

How much were the shakes?  I LOVE Unjury  www.unjury.com   The containers are BIG and you get quite a lot of shakes and you can also order individual packs to try first...the vanilla (with a little bit of splenda) is my fav.    I have also heard there is a Walmart brand that meets requirements?  I have only heard of that but never tasted it..apparently people like it.

Topic: Looking for less expensive protein shakes
I used to purchase the HMR shake product from Lowell General Hospital in Massachusetts. It was less expensive than some others. Some physicians carry a different product with lots more flavors but it is much more expensive. I once had a nutritionist friend whom I would pay up front, then she would purchase the product (only professionals can buy it) and have it shipped directly to me, without taking a cut of the price, so I got it at her price which made it affordable for me.  Anyway, I'm interested in knowing of sources for the products.
I'll be getting medical insurance in a few months and will then consider surgical options, though I am very wary of any approach that leaves something in my body.  I can lose weight, but haven't kept it off; more recently I have changed my diet and now for about 3 months I haven't gained, I've lost slightly. So I want to focus on diet (can't exercise because of bursitis L hip) and maybe consider fat removal surgery and loose skin surgery in a few months.
For now I'm interested in recommendations for as good a quality weight loss shake as I can get at a lower than market price, if I can.

Topic: RE: fridays plan
Hi all,

So yesterday went okay.  Was way too busy to really think about eating, but still struggled a bit.  Getting better though. 
 My plan for today:

Breakfast:  Shake with simply smart milk (which I drank wayyyyy to fast)
Lunch:  Spaghetti with meat sauce and fresh parmesan cheese
Dinner:  Have no idea. Going to look at new cars, so we might be really late...

I have extra snacks so I am not starving when we finally get home.  So hopefully I will not eat them first thing this morning!!!

Topic: RE: fridays plan
Todays plan should be pretty easy since I got a fill yesterday and Im staying home from work sick (I hate it when the sickness wins!!)

Breakfast: Green jello
Lunch: shake or  Rest of the cream of celery soup I had for dinner last night
Dinner: a shake or maybe something out. If I can get myself together Hubs and I had planned to go up to Portland tonght. (I hate missing kid free nights bc of sick more than missing work!)

Yesterday went well. Came home, had some soup and went to bed. and now im getting the kid on the bus... and going to bed. I like bed.
