Where can I find and buy PB2. Is it expensive? I am trying so hard to enjoy my protein shakes but cannot stand the taste of the whey protein powder.
I am 2 months out from sleeve surgery and finding how much I dislike dense proteins: meats, boiled eggs.
I really enjoy fruit, veggies, salads, soups, and fish.
What other protein options are there besides protein shakes that I absolutely detest? Suggestions?
I bought this one and it's perfect. I still use it. I already had a blender but never use it. I don't do shakes at all because I don't feel very satisfied after drinking my protein.

I'm about one month out from surgery and was wondering what is a powerful but inexpensive blender/ processor that'll be able to handle not just shakes but also pureeing meats.
Does anyone know just what the correct amount of sugar one can intake on a daily basis? I have heard so many different rumors it's not even funny.
You want to find out what your insurance will accept though... seriously some are OK with whatever the Dr recommends but some are super specific and want check ins and full on documentation so be sure you verify with them NOT your Dr.
The paper work I received from the surgeon only suggested a calorie controlled diet and documents from my pop saying I completed it. I was curious what others have done (I know every doctor and surgeon is different). The one my pcp recommend seemed very low calories to me. The 3 days on the diet are 800-1000 calories and the 4 days off the diet I am eating 1200-1400.
Thanks for any information and suggestions. It's very much appreciated.
Contact your insurance co. and get in writing what they require as a "supervised diet" you wouldn't want to do something for months and then find out it is not accepted. Some plans require a medical weight loss program and documented check in/weigh ins... some just weighs at your pcp or gyno and those will qualify... find out what is specifically required for your plan.

Thanks for sharing. The great part about Costco is that you can return anything you don't like.

I drink the GNC lean protein shakes. I couldn't get to a costco to try the others and powders didn't agree with me. I like the strawberry the most, the banana is pretty good. and I find if you add decaf coffee to the vanilla it makes a decent iced coffee substitute. I personally didn't like the chocolate, and never tried the chocolate mint one.
Hope that helps :)
