Hello All!!!!! Sorry I haven't updated you all sooner. I am one week and 2 days out from surgery and am 15 lbs lighter! The incisions are healing nicely (the super glue itches!). I can tolerate everything I have tried so far and I love the Choco-pb shake I have been having for lunch! It tastes like a Reese's cup. Of course, I am still in the honeymoon stage where I do not want to eat - let's hope it lasts. The only problem I seem to be having is getting in my water, but I am working on that. Hubby is glad everything is over - he was petrified I would die during surgery or from a complication shortly after. He is being wonderful and supportive, as are the kiddos. I go back to the doctor on 9-14 and will let you all know what he says!

Hey Diana! The shake is easy - 3/4 c milk 2 tbsp sugar free chicolate syrup (WalMart has it) 6-8 ice cubes 1 tbsp peanut butter (Simply Jif is good) 1 scoop unflavored protein powder (if you use Chocolate protein powder, decrease the sf chocolate syrup to 1 tbsp; for unflavored I use AnyWhey). This has 27g protein if made with AnyWhey. For more protein, you can use evaporated skim milk and/or a higher gram per scoop protein powder. Blend in blender until ice is smooth. Enjoy it!!!!!!!!

Hi Michelle, Thanks for the recipe. Sounds wonderful. I see your in Texas. Have you tried Mootopia milk from HEB? It's wonderful. It has 14 proteins and only four carbs. I am addicted to it and tell all my WLS friends about it. Take care, Diana

Hi Michelle, The only stores that carry Mootopia are HEB and Central Market. Your welcome, Diana
