Input needed; protein shakes/iced coffee



Recommended Posts

Okay, so I hate milk and the texture of it, so Protein shakes for me are no different. Ick...like gag ick. BUT I CAN drink the International Delights light iced coffee. So when I go on a liquid diet after a fill, I rely on that, especially when my blood sugar drops (diabetic). So then I thought IF I can handle and actually ENJOY the iced coffee drink, flavor and texture, is there a way to make a Protein shake taste like that? Anyone have a recipe or a brand that can give me the iced coffee flavor but with Protein?

As a suggestion for a quick Protein boost, have you tried "New whey liquid Protein" shots? They are only 3.8 oz, and pack 42 grams of Protein, so you may only want half at a time. I use them for "breakfast" 2-4 times a week...There are a couple different flavors. Keep your coffee as a chaser...just a thought.

Where can I find the "Protein Shots?" Thanks I've been using the Premier Plus Protein Shakes found only @ Sam's Club. They come in chocolate & vanilla, & are 30 grams per Shake! Since my Surgery on 1/6, I have to split them up into half! They are resealable & taste really smooth! At one week Post-Op, I had lost 18 pounds! I go to the Dr on next Monday, 1/27 & I'm keeping a positive, open mind! I had my Sleeve done by Dr. Rachel Moore in Covington, LA. They have offices all throughout La & Mississippi! They are the highest credentialed Bariatric Surgeons I found! Very respectful & excellent bedside manner! Their website is www.whyweight.com Please feel free to ask me any questions! Thanks & Best of Luck to ALL!

Why don't you buy some already made Protein Drinks like EAS. If you can drink ice coffee I am sure you can like them. You have to find some way to get Protein Shakes in. Try them because if you don't get enough Protein you will not lose weight.

I know you can get them at GNC, but think places like Walmart have them as well...probably cheaper.

My go to Protein coffee/ iced coffee is the following:

1 scoop Injury Protein powder

1 shot of SF Torani or davinci Syrup

8 oz Silk plain

2 scoops Maxwell House instant coffee

8 oz hot Water

Mix the unjury, Silk, and syrup together then mix in the coffee made with hot Water. Drink warm or pour over ice. It makes a good size drink that usually takes me over an hour or two to drink. It's my daily Breakfast for almost a year now since getting my Band.

      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.
