Drinking coffee with my protein shake



Recommended Posts

Hi,

This is probably a silly question but I'm confused, so here it is.

I am in the full liquid stage of my post-op diet and for my mid-day meal I am having a Protein Shake. Can I drink coffee after my shake or is the shake considered like a "solid"?

My Dr. considers it a liquid.

I added instant coffee to my pre op shakes, couldn't stomach them or stand the smell and the coffee took the edge off a bit.

I think I am one of the few who actually liked the taste of my pre-op shakes (not much I don't like the taste of lol ) but I do like the idea of adding instant coffee to the shake. Thanks

I love that! You can use coffee or any of the sf ff pudding mixes. Just be careful after liquids because Jello instant pudding mixes have 300 sodium per serving. I think their are 4 servings per box. Also PB2 is great to get Peanut Butter flavor!

I am an avid coffee drinker so I will have my coffee and Protein Shake together for Breakfast. And when I finish my Protein shake, I drink a bottle of Water, and then I go for my second cup of coffee. :D Good luck.

If any of you like iced Michael coffees, try buying chocolate myofusion. Fill a shaker cup with ice, now fill with hot coffee and let melt down then add a scoop of myofusion. shake well. This is my Breakfast every morning. So yummy, not gritty. Also goes with vanilla flavored.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
