Crystal light and protein powder



Recommended Posts

For those of you that add Protein powder to your crystal light... how much do you add to what quantity?

Thank' date=' Jeannie[/quote']

I will add one scoop unflavored whey into 8-10oz of water/ crystal light. I fill my glass with ice and it will melt and mellow the strong flavor out.

I have to give that a try, because I'm still not getting all my Protein in everyday. Thanks for the idea.

I MAY HAVE TO TRY THIS TOO...I am not caring for the crystal light. I could drink some of them before the surgery but now it make me gag!

I did this and made the crystal light into like a cream flavor. Not bad. I am 4 days Pre-op and I am gagging with the shakes. Not sure if it's a "head" thing at this point.

I did it and had the same outcome. Only I could totally taste the Protein, had a Vitamin taste to it. So much for the Protein being "unflavored".

I too could stomach Protein Shakes after surgery. It was something about the consistency of them that made me want to puke. I ordered a sample pack of protein mixes of Syntrax Nectors, and I have to admit, they are pretty yummy. I've only tried he double cookie crunch and the vanilla wafer ones. I mix them with some ice and skim milk (u could use soy or almond milk). It's like a Oreo cookie milkshake! Very tasty. They also have a fruit punch mix, I have it but haven't tried it yet, thinking that would mix in great with crystal lights fruit punch...

      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.
