Just a quick fly by post to ask my fellow bandsters....."Are you still drinking protien drinks daily?"
I must admit that I am not but I really think I should be. I am just having a hard time finding one that tastes GOOD and that I don't have to gag down!
Please post if you have any suggestions on how I can get my daily protein in!
BTW - I've lost another 1.5 pounds bringing me to a total lost of 32.5!

I actually did just buy a new 4 pack of protein drinks... mostly because I'm at a point of restriction now that I'm starting to have "stuck" episodes!
ReplyDeleteI drink the Atkins Shakes.... easy protein, low on sugar.
I have not been doing protein drinks at all. I get plenty of protein through my meals...but that may change with more restriction.
ReplyDeleteI think the standard advice is do not drink your protein, eat it because you will stay full longer. But whatever works, I say.....
I tend to drink a protein drink for breakfast because my band is so tight in the mornings. I have a coffee (to warm it up - for some reason this seems to help) then an hour or so later my shake. Sometimes I struggle also to eat my lunch so occasionally on those days I have another shake. But then it makes me wonder if I shouldn't push through the barrier.. if just drinking instead of persevering makes the band that bit tighter because the liquids go down easier. It's quite tricky.
ReplyDeleteI too don't have enough restriction right now to need the drinks. If you can't get all of it in with regular food you might try a protein bar instead; it seems those would keep you fuller longer.
