It's Just Protein Powder- I Swear!

One of the campus police at the college where I work stopped in my office this morning to chat. He mentioned that someone had turned in a bag containing a "suspicious" white substance, found in the hall outside my office. I reached into my drawer, pulled out a bag of white powder and said, "Did it look like this one?" His shocked look answered my question. "It's just my Protein Powder, I swear! I mix unflavored Protein powder, that I bring in a plastic sandwich bag, with greek yogurt every morning and I lost the one from yesterday. It must have fallen out of my purse as I was digging for my office keys. I never thought about my little bags of white powder looking suspicious to others. I may have to rethink my protein powder transportation method. Imagine one of those bags falling from my purse if I'm pulled over and have to dig for my license! "It's just my protein powder, officer, I swear!" :o

Also, It might just make sense to keep a container of unflavored Protein Powder in a drawer in your office and just call it a day!!

I have a friend who uses the little containers you put servings of baby formula powder into. I think it holds 3 servings...

Your way sounds a lot more fun but this suggestion may keep you from getting detained by the police if you get pulled over... LOL

Good Luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
