  • I had medical leave and vacation that I could have taken. I went back to work because I felt like the sooner I could develop a regular routine the better it would be for me. I did spend a good bit of time prior to surgery planning out how I was going to manage my meals at work, so I felt prepared in that area. I returned…

  • I order Quest Bars from Amazon. They have several variety packs to choose from if you want to try different flavors without committing to a whole box.

  • I had sleeve surgery on Thursday and went back to work on Monday. I only needed pain meds for the first two days. I work in an office so my job does not require any lifting and I am not on my feet very much.

  • I like About Time Protein Powder. It's sweetened with Stevia and has a mild flavor and not so artificial tasting. You can order sample packs from their web page. http://tryabouttime.com/

  • I'm not sure if the problem you are having with the protein is taste or just the volume, but if its taste I recommend trying About Time Protein powder. The flavor is very mild and I find it much easier to drink. You can order samples from thier web site and try the differnt flavors before committing to a large purchase.

  • I really like Celebrate Multi-vitamins in Orange. I had real issues with the artificial sweet taste of most of the protein shakes so I settled on the Syntrax Nectar unflavored protein powder. It is not truly unflavored but the taste is not bad and I can add it to just about anything. I have ordered the sample packs of…
