I hate Protein drinks.... That is all

I like them but I have a friend who doesn't. To make it taste better she uses chocolate flavor, adds ice when she mixes and a splash of milk with the Water. Her version does taste pretty good to me.

I hated them too until I tweaked them. For vanilla, I add frozen strawberries, vanilla extract, stevia(sweetener), almond milk, ice and blend. For chocolate add 1/2 banana, vanila extract, almond milk, sweetener, ice and blend. They are a tasty Breakfast for me now. Before that, I could barely get them down. Do they count for your liquid intake? I never asked.

Are you using powder shakes? I cant stand the powder kind, I really like the ready to drink Premier Protein in chocolate, very good.

I hate them too. Luckily in the soft food phase I have been able to meet the low end of the target with help from powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken broth flavor. If I could get down the serving size of my meals, I would have no problem...

Protein drinks aren't the best thing I've ever had either, but it isn't forever. I just sucked it up and drank them.

Adding ice in the blender with them helps. I always used just Water with them. Sometimes I would drink a Muscle Milk Light or an EAS Advantage ready made shake. They are convenient.

The Syntrax Nectar Vanilla Bean Torte rocks. I used to add Mio in tangerine/orange for a creamsickle flavor or unsweentened cocoa powder to do chocolate (go light on the cocoa powder if you do this - it's really concentrated). Really good. Also, I find the Atkins Milk Chocolate ready-made shake to be pretty delish. 15 grams Protein and only 1 gram of sugar. 160 cals. Still drink one every day (almost 8 weeks out).

Yes, it does. So does the Cookies and cream. Even with Water as the mix.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!

      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!
