Homemade protein shakes



Recommended Posts

I'm 5 weeks post op and would like to make my own Protein Shakes but I heard we are not allowed to use a blender. What is everyone else doing to make their own shakes?

huh, I've never heard of not being allowed to use a blender. I do find that using a standard blender puts a lot of air bubbles and foam into a shake, which can be uncomfortable and gross to drink. But you can put your shake in the fridge for an hour after blending to get rid of the bubbles if a standard blender is what you have on hand. I use an immersion blender, which doesn't add any foam or air bubbles to the shake. Plus it is easier to clean!

I use a blender everyday (HB dual wave) to make Protein smoothies. Add skim milk, ice, bananas, apples, berries, whatever to my Premier Protein and Syntrax Nectar drinks.< /p>

Thanks every one . I was told not to use a blender because of the air it puts in, but when I let it sit it separates and is not very appetizing...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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!
