What do you use to transport your protein powder?



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering how you all have/will transport your Protein Powder? My surgery is July 13th and I start my 10 day liver reduction diet on July 3rd. I will be doing 4 Protein Shakes a day, 1/2 cup of non startchy vegetables, sugar free clears, and fat free beef chicken or vegetable broth. I'm a nurse and work 13 hour shifts so on the days I work I'll need to bring everything with me, and my Protein Shake mix comes in a big tub. I found these http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/blenderbottle-reg-gostak-trade-starter-4pak/3254881?Keyword=blender+bottle , but I would want the all to be the same size. Any one have any ideas as a baggie seems wasteful to me. Thanks!

I have a Blender Bottle that comes with a little built in container. I use that to transport powders. Sometimes I use it to transport my Vitamins and Calcium things if I opt for a premixed Protein drink that morning. Got the Blender Bottle with the shaker thing at Target for like 10 or 11 bucks in a kicky hot pink shade :)

A lot of times I will make my shake the night before and bring it to work with me. Since I know that not all Protein powder shakes can be made ahead of time, I called unjury (my preferred powder) and asked about premaking and they said that was fine. Even if I didn't drink the shake within 24 hours of making it, it still tasted fine36-48 hours later. I have two different shakers I'll use along with assorted empty orange juice bottles (12 oz. +/- variety) when carrying my premade shakes. Also, I've started keeping a container of my powder in our kitchenette at work so I can make a shake anytime while at work. I've also used the snack baggies to put powder in and reuse those a few times.

I got these at Bed Bath & Beyond - http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/blenderbottle-reg-prostack-trade-22-oz-full-color-bottle/3254880?Keyword=blender+bottle - it has 2 little containers with each bottle and the larger one is just big enough to hold 1 scoop of Protein. There is also a little thing inside the lid of one of the containers that lets you transport Vitamins. Has worked great for me!

I used premade shakes for work and used mix at home. I also have the Blender Bottle with the compartments for powder from Target.

In the baby section at Target, etc. they have little containers that have 3-4 compartments for baby formula. I would think those would work well.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
