Easier Way To Drink My Protein!!!



Recommended Posts

Was banded on June 20 and having a hard time drinking my Protein, the smell of it makes me gag and last thing I want is to throw up! This am I tried something different made myself a smoothie! I put a non fat plain Greek yogurt, light soy milk, 1 scoop of whey Protein powder, frozen blueberries, 1 Splenda and 2 ice cubes! 47 grams of protein and it tasted great!!! Just wanted to shared it!!

According to research, and i think Alex mentioned this, your body can only metabolise around 25 to 30 grms of Protein at any time so be careful not to overload your system, some people will be ok having an intake of protein that big, but i had type 2 diabetes and if u eat too much protein it metabolises into glucogen and will be stored as as fat , .. it sounds good to experiement and make something that u can tolerate but be aware that amount in one go might not be the greatest method to get your daily intake in :)

i add milk or Water to my Protein and put in freezer until it gets to a consistency i like and then drink it up. YUM. def saved me during all my 4 weeks liquid pre/post op diets (and putting in ice cube trays helps also).

I was making our Protein and meal shakes at night to save time in the mornings, and it turns out that they thicken nicely in the refrigerator overnight. It's like McDonald's, except healthy! :P

It's just a little weird, because I still sometimes get that guilty cheating-on-my-diet feeling when I have one! :D

Do you blend the shakes before freezing them?

I freeze my premier protien ready to drink shakes after I blend them with the PB (powdered Peanut Butter) and let it freeze about an hour and then blend it again to make sure it does not separate. I have a small blender with a ready to drink glass on it and I freeze it and eat it like ice cream. Because it blends it it larger and fluffy and it tastes just like chocolate ice cream. I am a night eater and it is perfect. takes about an hour to eat frozen and it 160 calories 5 carbs 3 grams of fat. Yummy!! 30 grams of Protein. Been doing this the last 2 weeks!! I buy them at Sam's 18 FOR $18.99

That is my drink of choice also. Mostly because they are low carb (i'm a type 2 diabetic) and taste pretty decent.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
