Do you all think I'll be able to drink the sugar free Wylers drink powder or Walmart drink powder. They come in a box of 12 tube packets. I bought a bunch of boxes cuz i really like them.

Up to you as far as artificial sweeteners but I use crystal light exclusively and have since early on. No problems at 2 years out and told by Dr could use

I've never had a problem with real sugar, I tolerate it better than the artificial stuff, since I tend to get headaches from that. I've also read studies about how artificial sweetners can cause hunger. I do drink Wylers and crystal light occasionally, but mainly stick to apple juice and Water.< /p>

Yep. Sugar will hurt you. Avoid it like the plague..It's the pesky carbs in the sugar that cause us problems because they make us feel hungry and want more sugar. Get used to one of the artificial sweeteners or learn to drink it without sugar. I use Protein powder in my coffee instead of Creamer and I NOW like it that way. :)

Good luck!! :)

How do you keep the Protein Powder from curdling once it hits the warm coffee?

I let my coffee cool off a bit before I add the Protein powder. It works fine.

Agree with Lissa as usual.

I also add my Protein Powder to my coffee. I use my Blender Bottle cup: pour my coffee in the cup and leave it for a little while, come back and add the Protein powder, put the lid on an shake. I don't add creamer, sugar, or anything else.

But, I only let the coffee cool because otherwise the Blender Bottle will leak a bit from the pressure of the hot coffee.

Muscle Milk powder blends very well in hot coffee, as does their Cytosport product. I am currently using the Cytosport vanilla in my coffee and when I run out of this, I will try the chocolate Cytosport. A 34g scoop contains 27g protein, got it at costco (cannot recall the price).

      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?

      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.
