Ljp 157 Posted October 1, 2012 Craving something cold n sweet! I came up with this: 4 sugar free popsicles (i used 2 orange/2 cherry) 8-10 frozen strawberrys 1 New Whey strawberry Protein tube (42g protein) Ice (i used abt 1 cup) Blended it all. Very good! 2 TamaraS and Ms skinniness reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TamaraS 235 Posted October 1, 2012 Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing. I have a question for you, is the Protein tube something that can be consumed on the clear stage diet the foirst week after surgery? Im desperate for some protein for energy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You shld actually be able to do the slushy above minus the strawberrys. 1 TamaraS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sleevedreamz 107 Posted October 1, 2012 The slushy sounds good, but I wanted to make sure you guys know that those Protein tubes do not give you the Protein you need. I made the same mistake because they say "whey" and I found out that any of those protein tubes at Walmart, etc. have collagen and other protein ingredients in them that our bodies can not absorb and uses. So, it is a huge waste of money and a big disappointment. If you want protein tubes, you can order them from Bariatric Advantage online and they are called Yes whey. Those are the ONLY tubes on the market that I know of that are actually made with 100% whey and not using all of the other stuff in them that we can't absorb and benefit from. Hope this helps. Good luck! 1 TamaraS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sleevedreamz 107 Posted October 1, 2012 You're welcome. I just hate to see people spend the money and think they are getting in their Protein when they aren't. I totally did the same thing. So frustrating because it is so hard to get it all in! The website for the Yes Whey: https://www1.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
