DAY 5 POST OP: MADE MY OWN PROTEIN SHAKE



Recommended Posts

After trying all these different Protein Shakes, I really couldn't find anything that I really liked. So, I made my own. Now as far as how much Protein it has I have no idea, but, it's really good and I can get it down quiet easily.

I used 8 oz almond milk, 2 scoops chocolate Protein Powder and 1 T Peanut Butter. I found it to be a little thick for 5 days out, so, I thinned it with Water. But, its so good.

Good for you! I make my own as well & I think they're way better than the premade ones. You should be able to add up the Protein amounts from the labels & get your total easily. Also, you might want to check out PB2...it's powdered Peanut Butter & it's delicious in shakes. It has 85% less fat than regular peanut butter, but all the protein.

I use a Cocktail shaker with ice and shake my Protein Shakes in it, it is fast easy and makes it very cold! I drink it right from the stainless steel shaker. Easy fast and stays cold a long time! Also travels nice in the car :)

When I was still relying on my Protein Shakes, I made my own as well. One of my faves was almond milk, skim milk, one or two scoops of unflavored Unjury Protein powder, a little bit of Torani chocolate Syrup (no fat/no sugar), and lots of ice. It tasted like an almond joy. I would also do almond milk, skim milk, a drop of Peanut Butter, and about 1/4 of a small banana. It was the easiest way for me to get in my protein. They were so good my daughter even liked them! I'm glad you found something you like as well!

      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.
