docamabe 4 Posted February 28, 2013 I'm struggling to drink the last of my shake so I thought I'd boast a bit, lol, and see if that'll motivate me for the last of it. I have 1/2 c left and I'll have 56 G Protein and 24 oz ff milk and Water down!!!! I'm starting to hate these things!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeriouslyChange 319 Posted February 28, 2013 It kills me to this day to drink 8 oz of Protein. Lol Who knew liquid could sit so heavy! I always try to trick my body into thinking its just Water or juice, but it knows!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
docamabe 4 Posted February 28, 2013 I fix a Protein Shake every morning with 16 oz ff milk, 8 oz Water. It contains 56 g. I don't do anything else until I drink it all. Takes about 2-3 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeriouslyChange 319 Posted February 28, 2013 I try to drink mine in the hour it takes me to get to work each morning. But it's like my mind knows and wont drink it. I don't have problems with big gulps of liquid, but if I take big gulps of Protein, my stomach will be killing me by the time I get out of the car Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted February 28, 2013 Oh, I do not take joy in saying this but the body is only able to utilize about 30 grams of Protein at a time... So the rest is "wasted" sorry Laura So perhaps drinking it half for one meal and then go back to it later for another meal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
docamabe 4 Posted February 28, 2013 I can't gulp anything. I'm 11 days out and just sipping constantly. I put 40 g in one shake and that, along with 16 g of milk Protein is all I can manage. I'm struggling to get it all in this morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
docamabe 4 Posted February 28, 2013 Oh I don't take joy in hearing such-----wowser!!! I think I may puke!!! :-( Not really. :-/ I'll break it up, like you said. It'll probably go down easier!!! That's good to know!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
docamabe 4 Posted February 28, 2013 OMG---the rest of the Protein I've been drinking DAILY is converted and stored as fat!?!?!?!?!? Geeze........how counterproductive could I be!!?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

docamabe 4 Posted February 28, 2013 Actually, I'm not too distraught. I'm a bit amused by my antics. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chitowngirl 886 Posted February 28, 2013 I know what you mean, I'm not crazy about Protein Drinks either. As soon as I was cleared for soft foods, I made it a point of eating my Protein instead of drinking it. I was low at first, but I was eventually able to meet my goals.

amykins 202 Posted March 1, 2013 Protein Shakes feel like a rock in my stomach. I sometimes drink 1/2 a premier shake in the morning and the other 1/2 in the afternoon. But I prefer to eat my Protein instead of drinking it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
