Protein Shakes any advice please



Recommended Posts

Have you tried mixing chocolate Protein Powder with sugar free instant pudding mix? Add two scoops of powder to the packet of pudding and mix it up... add 2 and 1/4 cups skim milk. whisk together. Assuming you are using Protein powder with 25 grams of protein and 110 calories... the entire recipe has 69 grams of protein and 513 calories. That would make a half cup serving have 128 calories and 17 grams of protein.

Could I use a differ net form of milk ? I cant do skim milk at all. So far almond milk is the lightest feeling on stomach and it is still almost to heavy for stomach. Next what flavor of pudding ? I havent been able to tolerate protein powder any other way, so I am willing to try anything once

Yes! Almond milk works just fine!

I havent been able to drink any kind of Protein without getting sick. Any advice on how to get to where I can tolerate protein ? Or will my stomach get to where it lets me tolerate it further out ?

So far, best I can tell, you've only had milk based Proteins, which are super high quality. I'd recommend trying another type, like hemp,egg, or even soy. They are not as high quality as whey is but they might be easier on your stomach.

I just ordered the egg Protein Shake sample package by Jay Robb . Do you know if that was a good choice ?

I just started using the ocean spray cran peach tea yesterday and love it mixed with water. Before that I was mostly a propel type of guy. I got tired of crystal light and mio a while ago because of weird artificial aftertaste. Now I am going to branch out and try some other ocean spray flavors.

I use these recipes and these shakes taste so good that I actually look forward to them. During the summer I use them in my soft serve maker for Protein ice cream.

The Protein powder I use is SEI Max Protein. The vanilla and the chocolate is a good base for anything. I use 2% milk. In the mocha ones I use 6 oz. of coffee and 2 oz. of 2% milk.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
