Welcome to the babble!

Warning: I talk a lot! About anything and everything. I don't hold back. So buckle up.

in 2010 I got the gastric sleeve and I couldn't be happier with my decision. My new life has finally begun!

Finally in 2012 I got my life's wish of being pregnant. Now this blog has transitioned from random blabber, to weight loss, to being a new mommy.
It's ever changing and ever evolving, just like me.

have you tried Ensure High Protein?

I saw a commercial for it this weekend and it peaked my interest. 25g of protein, 5 grams of sugar, 3g of fiber. Thats pretty good for one of these little rtd shakes. For my 2 week liquid diet before surgery i lived off of Glucerna butter pecan. It was soooo delicious. But at only 10g of protein and 11g of sugar its not worth it to do it now. although i looked it up and now its got 6g of sugar and the rest is sugar alcohol. but i wonder if still at only 10g of protein if its worth it. its probably not too filling. might be good to keep around as a snack to take the edge off. like string cheese or something. but not to replace my protein shake.

and i know i know, i have my ideal protein powder but the truth is after a few months i'm getting sick of the taste. it happens. so i'm curious to try this ensure. i doubt it will taste good at all. usually things high in protein don't taste good. but its got a decent amount of sugar so that might help.

has anyone tried these? also can anyone recommend any good tasting snack bars? glucerna, atkins, etc?

  1. I might have to try these! I haven't seen these with that much protein. My doctor said not to drink Ensure because the sugar was too high, but this one doesn't look too bad.
