Protein Powder Blues

[onedaycloser 136]

I use Unjury vanilla and add some PB2 (found in Walmart) to add some flavor, really good. I know you can add some SF Jello pudding powder like Cookies & cream along with some ice and enjoy a thick shake.

Check out the recipe sections for additional options. I hope this helps as we all know how important getting the Protein is.

So I haven't been able to even sip Protein shakes without throwing them back up since surgery. I know they are an integral part of my post op but I'm saying NO NO NO to them, no matter how I try to dress them up or down my body refuses to allow it in. Anyone else with this issue? If you're further out (I'm only two weeks post op) how long did it take til you could drink them again?

I had physically violent reactions to whey Protein post operatively. I tolerated them pre-op but not post-op. I switched protein sources to egg white Protein Powder and they are tremendous. No GI upset, no gas/bloating, no nausea. Great taste, no chalky aftertaste. The brand I use has 23g protein per scoop. Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry. I have a fruit shake in the morning and at night. Best decision I have made.

So what brands do you use? I also had an awful reaction to whey post op. I bought an unflavored soy Protein but haven't figured out how to mix it yet. So far my oatmeal came out like cement.

I use Jay Robb, Egg White Protein, vanilla flavored. I get it at GNC - they recently started carrying it.

I use one scoop per Protein shake, a cup of frozen fruit, 8 oz Water, an ice cube or two. Blend the heck out of it.
