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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
