Glenn, Thank you so much. It is sooo important to me that I remind myself constantly that this *isn't* a magic pill, won't be fun and easy, and is a last chance effort to getting my life back. Your sharing has touched me the most. It reminds me again, why I am doing this, what I hope to achieve by doing it, and what I am willing to sacrifice to get there. I am so at peace with my decision it is amazing, and I have people like you to thank for it. So thank you again for keeping it real.

Why REAL MEALS™ is the real deal for me

I'm a "type A" compulsive personality. So is my wife, Kari. We do things in a very systematic way. So once I decided to have Weight Loss Surgery, we started looking immediately for the "meal replacement" protein drink that would be best for me to use in the first 8 weeks after the procedure (and, as it turned out, for the rest of my life.) Bless Kari's heart: she went online and ordered samples of just about every protein drink on the market. In just about every flavor. Our tiny storeroom was packed, floor to ceiling, with protein drink alternatives.

None of them were just right for me. (I felt like Goldilocks, tasting the three bears' porridge) Many tasted terrible. Others didn't mix very well, or required more than I wanted to do in terms of combining and measuring. I found it hard to get enough protein. And then I found REAL MEALS™.

I was instantly interested after I compared its superior "protein yield" (60 grams from two daily servings). One taste, and I promptly donated all of the remaining protein powder samples to other WLSers. I've had two to three REAL MEALS™ servings every day since, and it has worked powerfully well for me.

Today, I'm at my ideal/goal weight, and at under 180 pounds, I've lost more than half of my starting weight -- and 100% of my excess weight. Because of my testy tummy, it presently appears that my relationship with REAL MEALS will be a lifetime affair for me.

I'll go even farther: during my extended trips abroad, REAL MEALS™ has proved to be, quite literally, a life saver. Because of peculiarities in my digestive system, I continue, even now, to be severely limited in the types of foods I can consume, not just in quantities. Given the circumstances under which I was traveling, I could not find food for sale that worked for me during my rustic travel adventures. I survived — and thrived — those challenging weeks on REAL MEALS™, water, my multivitamin, and my Juice Plus capsules.

Here's why I think REAL MEALS™ is “the real deal”: this is a protein drink/meal replacement that provides between 33% and 60% more protein than most other protein drinks on the market. Each REAL MEALS™ packet contains 60 grams of protein, which I consume in two drinks with 30 grams of protein each. It's made from the highest quality ingredients, and these folks stand behind their product with a money back guarantee. If you don't like the taste, your money is cheerfully refunded.

The powder is made from biologically active 100% Whey Proteins, Peptides, and Amino Acids. It stores well and tastes great. I choose to mix my powder with water or nonfat milk, berries, a few slices of banana, and a handful of ice cubes.

REAL MEALS™ also contains more than 40 Vitamins, Minerals and Nutrients vital to post ops -- including 100% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin E, a full 70% of Calcium (over 100% if you make your drink with low fat milk), Vitamin B12, Biotin and other nutrients (to help prevent hair loss sometimes found in Bariatric post ops) and support optimum health. REAL MEALS™ is low carb, low fat and does NOT have the added sugars, aspartame or hydrogenated oils that I often found in other brands.

The price is competitive, especially if you look at the cost you're paying per 100g protein. You can get a sample, or get discounts for bulk purchases. When you buy in volume, you can get a price of as little as $1.01 per REAL MEALS™ serving.

I don't know what your experience is, but I find it difficult to get the amount of protein I need every day, especially since my daily exercise increases my protein needs. With REAL MEALS™, it's just not a problem . I add a third serving if my body is depleted or my energy low.

Without REAL MEALS™, or with any other protein drink I've found, meeting my quotient of protein would be a very Real Problem. So whether you're just getting started, or whether you're post-op, consider trying REAL MEALS™ if you like the pluses I've identified. I have found the company and staff to be people of integrity who are sincerely committed to promoting the health and well-being of WLSers. I also like their quality of service. You can find the link to the REAL MEALS™ store at the bottom of every page of my website www.weightlosssurgerycoach.com .

Thanks for considering what I've had to say. It's not very often that I find a product that surpasses my expectations for it. I'm a tough customer. But for me, REAL MEALS™ is the real deal .

If you decide to order, I would appreciate it if you would order through this website by clicking on the REAL MEALS button. That will help me begin to cover the costs of maintaining my website. Thanks.
