You have to try these



Recommended Posts

So when this journey began I started trying Protein Shakes for the first time. I know why I never drank them before. They are disgusting! I have wasted more money than I care to think about with cases of ready made and cans of powder still in my cabinets.

Finally, I have found the perfect Protein Shake for me. I put one Dole shaker, one Chobani plain yogurt and a splash of sugar free liquid. Blend it for a few seconds in the blender and presto! A little taste of heaven!

20 grams of Protein and 200 calories. Tastes like a milkshake and keeps me full till lunch.< /p>

Slight warning that these are not cheap. The Dole Shakers run around $2.20 and Chobani yogurt about $1.30, so you're looking at $3.50 per shake but well worth the money!

I have also wasted on TON of money on Protein products from GNC, Walmart and my doctor's office; the ONLY one I can tolerate is the UNflavored Unjury. . . add it to o.j., yogurt, milk ---> it's great; with about 21 grams of protein in one scoop.

Sorry I dont know how to attach a link for the Dole Shakers but if you google it a picture will come up. They come from the freezer section where they have the frozen fruit and smoothies. The Dole Shakers have 100 calories and 5 grams of Protein and the yogurt is 100 calories and 15 grams of protein.

I just looked the shakers up and I think I will have to give them a try. So you use plain Greek yogurt? What kind of sugar free liquid do you use?

I use Minute Made 15 cal lemonade but you could use crystal lite too. Really anything just a splash to get the blender moving. Yes I use the plain yogurt because the Dole Splasher s sweet enough and if you use the flavored yogurt it would add 60 more calories.

They have them at wal-Mart in the frozen section. They are a powder that you can mix milk or soy milk into, shake it and its ready to drink.

I love, love, love Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder. (Vitamin Shoppe/Amazon) I put the cappuchino flavor in my coffee and also like the strawberry Kiwi. There are several flavors. You can mix them with yogurt and ice or just mix them with milk or cold Water. They disolve completely and taste yummy. Yes, they too are pricey, but, a container lasts a long, long time!

      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.
