My protein shakes are too frothy



Recommended Posts

I'm using the same Protein powder as before surgery and now my shakes are coming out too frothy and I can't drink them. They give me too much painful gas now. I'm 9 days after surgery. I used to mainly use soy milk but sometimes used fat free milk. Since my surgery I have only been using fat free milk. Could that be the problem? I've. Tried less crushed ice, more crushed ice, I don't know what else to try. I swear they were not frothy before I had surgery but maybe I never noticed?

if it weren't for RTD I don't know what I would do.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Oh thanks! I crave my old one and it doesn't seem like I can stir it good enough or even shake it with the metal blender ball. Guess I will have to make them all an hour beforehand!

Yep that's what I do let it sit for about an hour then sip it for another 2hrs!

I have yet to do this out of laziness but when my kids were infants we would put a drop of gas drops in their bottle. It would dissolve all of the bubbles. A thought....

Lannie,

What kind of gas drops? Never heard of this.

Thanks I will have to try this. Funny the drops are simethicone which is what I take afterwards for gas! I'm sure it will be much better having it in the shake.< /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.
