Hi Catherine,

Congratulations!!! I’m just starting the
process. What have you found to be the best way
to mix the protein drinks? I know that we’ll be
drinking them for quite a while and that they
help healing but I’ve heard they taste nasty.

You're on your way, Catherine. <G> Be sure to get your supplements and protein drinks in, because you need the nutritional support during this very fast weight-loss period.
