I mix mine into foods when I need some extra help in getting my protein.....I have added it to homemade milkshakes with milk-yogurt-and fruit, Soup, scrambled eggs, pudding, mashed potatoes.....the scoop is smaller than the chocolate and vanilla therefore it is only like 20g vs 30g of protein.....anyway, mix it in while the food is cold, cool, or room temperature.....it clumps together if added to hot foods directly, so mix it in to the lower temps, stir it good, then heat it up and it usually stays blended and clump free....good luck!!!

Aline, with 1 scrambled egg, I only add about 1/4 to 1/2 scoop, a dash of milk and whisk it before cooking....too much powder and it becomes gritty...I have wasted a lot of food experimenting, LOL. how are you doing otherwise??

So is anyone else having relationship issues? Today I had a meeting at work. I get dressed up and do my hair and make up, like every day. I had to drop something off to my husband at his work and he said you look so good. I said thank you and he continued to complement me. I said thanks again and he said who let you out the house looking that good. I just rolled my eyes because he says that all the time. I tell him I had to go and kiss him good bye. I start to drive away and he acts like he is throwing a fishing line and reeling it back in. I look at him and I say what are you doing? He said your going fishing and I got mad. I told him that he is nuts. His insecurity from his prior relationship is rearing its ugly head. I have been a faithful wife for 22 years. I lost weight get a grip. I am still the same person just in smaller clothes. Really, I still weigh 250 lbs. What is going to happen when I get smaller? Anyone out there dealing with this please let me know.

Oh yeah today is my birthday! My friends did tell me I looked good and three did call me sexy. My husband did say that to. I was wearing a skirt that is so big and a very loose shirt. I did not feel very sexy. I think my friends are very excited ab out my weight loss because they loved the old me in and outside.

I had been having a lot of nausea. Figured out I get nauseated and that is my "I'm hungry" signal. Mashed potatoes are a good stand by in between the Protein. I do oatmeal with a splash of lactaid milk 6gm protein with sprinkle of cinnamon for breakfeast. I do mashed potatoes with smashed toddler meat sticks or refried Beans with little grated extra sharp cheddar or poached egg over tiny bit of refried beans and a drizzle of taco sauce for a quasi huevos rancheros. I have not found one Protein Shake I can stomach. I keep trying new ones. Meanwhile I try to get as much protein from food sources and almost can get in all that Water.< /p>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
