You can mix crystal light or diet snapple with unflavored Protein Powder and make them into ice pops

I've tried several brands of Protein Shakes and I've come to the conclusion that they all taste yucky when they're made with Water instead of milk. However, there is one from GNC called "Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60" that I think is my favorite. To me it tastes incredible when made with water (I've let others try it and they agree). It's a little pricey but might be worth a try. They let me sample some at the GNC where I bought it.

I like the Syntax Nectars too. I get them at Nashua Nutrition (available online). They sell single serving packs so you can try different flavors to find what you like. I like the chocolate truffle or the double stuffed (Oreo) mixed with 1 cup of milk. You can mix one scoop with 8-16 oz of either milk or Water. I've also mixed it with plain yogurt (1/4 scoop of a fruit flavor to 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt), and I add the unflavored one to strawberry smoothies.< /p>

I talked to my nutritionist and she told me to try making the shakes in the blender with ice and also said I can have a piece of meat a day which sounds so good right now dont know how much it can change the taste by using ice and a blender but at this point I have nothing to lose.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
