To Shakeology or not, that is the question?

Happy Labor Day!

My husband is TDY so no real Labor Day celebrations for me today. Anyway, I have had my first Protein Shake of the day (Shakeology). I have read mixed reviews from other websites on how peoples bodies react to this shake post surgery. Some say its the best thing on earth while others say its terrible on their pouch and doubles them over. I like the taste of the shake and it does give me plenty of energy and nutrients, however I am a bit fearful of what is to come post surgery.

I think I will look into purchasing Believe to see how that taste. I am sure it is better designed for the bariatric lifestyle.

Clear liquid type protein drinks are going well, I am sipping away and now finishing a twenty ounce bottle. Prior to that I could hardly get down 2 oz because I was frustrated with the sipping process. I would tire of trying to drink slowly and would put the bottle aside and grab a bottle of water and gulp it. So I am proud of the progress I have made and I think by the time the surgery rolls around I will be a much better sipper.

I usually don't cook much when my husband goes TDY so when he returns I will start back working on my slow chewing. For now the protein shakes are keeping me full.
