PB2 + Protein Shake = DELISH!



Recommended Posts

I have been struggling (as many of us do early on) getting in adequate Protein for the day...

Getting slightly discouraged I've been talking with my sister who had GB over 5 yrs ago. Explained my frustrations and she reminded me of a a Protein shake that helped her reach goals.

I tried it today and I couldn't get enough, far from just a month ago when smelling the Protein powder make me wanna be sick!!

8oz of almond milk, (or any)

1 scoop Protein Powder

2 Tbs of PB2

Cup of ice

BLEND

* Occasionally a squirter of SF Hershey's chocolate Syrup *

It's so good.

@@KalelsWifey Have you tried Premier Protein shakes? They're pre-made and taste delicious. I don't care for any of the powders, even when I use my NutriBullet to mix them. You get 30 grams of Protein in just 11 ounces! I've used them from day 1 to achieve my 63-66 grams of daily protein. I'm eating 3 meals and 2 Snacks which average 12-15 grams of protein each. So far so good. I have my first post-op visits this coming Tuesday. Excited to see my nutritionist as we've become friends. Your shake sounds good. I love PB2 ^_^

I use Sure Protein (Walmart) sells it, it's so masked by the PB2 that I don't realize I'm drinking a shake.< /p>

@@beachgal2935 I have not tried that. I have heard they can be expensive. Is that true? I'm trying to rely on food for protein but I don't think that'll be possible until I've reached 3-4 months and my pouch has properly healed and not so swollen. I will look into these. Thank you.

I like Premier the best so far and it's the cheapest pre-mixed I've found at Walmart and Sams Club. Krogers also has it. I like the chocolate. I haven't been thrilled with any of the Protein drinks so far but haven't been disgusted by any yet either. I ordered some stuff called Whey-licious from Dr. Hale Nutrition for after surgery because I can get a lot of Protein in a small volume.

Ahh thanks for that, it sounds amazing.

PB2 is a powdered Peanut Butter that blends really well when making a Protein shake or a smoothie.

      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.
