How do you get your powdered protein to dissolve?



Recommended Posts

:) I've read all the suggestions. I'll try some of them. My dietician said I only have 2 more weeks of Protein Shakes, but I absolutely abhor them.I have the Walmart chocolate and vanilla. I've never mixed anything in with them other than milk. I have left them off for 3 days now. Boost, instant Breakfast, etc. have too many carbs. I don't go back to the dietician until 1/27. I know I need the Protein. Don't want to buy anything more since I am now so close to being done witrh them, but I can see that there might be occasions in the future where I need them. Is Peanut Butter about the best to mix with chocolate?

Hubby and I found that GNC has a plastic cup with a lid that mixes. All you do is shake. It's white with a red lid and is around $10. It works great!

I use a little one serving blender thing I bought at either Walmart or target. Also, the only shake mix I can stick too is Cambridge. It is bought over the internet and has been around forever. I add about a quarter cup of soy milk, splenda, and about 1/4 of a banana. Sometimes I blend up ice too. It tastes so good that my 12 yr old son and 8 yr old grandaughter constantly bug me to "make them a shake". In the morning, I blend hot Water, soy, instant or brewed coffee, some sugar-free Kahlua flavored Syrup along with the vanilla Cambridge and I swear it tastes as good as a latte from starbucks.

There are lots of recipes to make the shakes very good. Artificial flavors and sweeteners are fantastic.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
