Tupperware tumblers are awesome



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to post a tip for Protein shakes and other portable beverages. The tupperware tumblers with flat lids (not sippy lids or sports lids or ones with straws) are absolutely great. You can put your Protein powder in and throw it in your bag. When you want to make up your shake, fill it 2/3 with Water and shake the hell out of it. It won't leak. Then after you drink it (out of the tumbler itself), put the lid back on and toss in your bag. Again, won't leak. I have found these to be great. I get the 11 ounce ones. I have four so one or two are always clean and dry and ready to go. You can get them cheap on eBay but I just got the "rainbow" set. It was $27 for the set of 4. My shake is only 8 ounces made up so these are plenty big, though you can get 16 ounces too.

The normal Protein shakers are ok but they are big and in my opinion not very portable. I also find that they can leak from the pour spout and the ones where the lid just snaps on can make a mess if you snap it off wrong and fling your shake everywhere.

If your protein doesn't mix easily you could get one of those whisk balls and throw it in with your dry powder. I don't have this problem. I also use one to mix a medicine I have to take with juice.

I am always on the lookout for a better transport method. I don't leave home without a dry mix of Protein shake in a tumbler of some kind. This is great. Thanks so much!

I use these too, I have a 11oz fruit set and two seasonal 16oz. I do preamble shakes but always have this filled with Water for me to drink! You are right tho no leaks and the "spout" type thing you drink from is small, I hate big openings like Nalgene bottle, I dribble lolol!

Mine doesn't have an opening in the lid. It's just flat and you take off the lid and you have a plain cup. But the lid seals very well and doesn't leak which to me is the best part.

I have a couple of the blender bottles as well. I like them as I seem to want to shake my drink again after a few minutes of it sitting on the desk while sipping away at it! The blender ball really helps with mixing up the Protein powder very well!

Me too! I carry a tall and a short one (pre-filled with powder) on every flight. On the road I use the short one for my pre-workout Breakfast and the tall for my lunch or afternoon snack (depending on what my work day/customer interaction is like).

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
