What's your new favorite protein snack?

I like the Low Carb chocolate Slim Fast with 1 cup of Silk milk and a banana. Throw it in the Magic Bullet with a few ice cubes!

Also...the VitaminShoppe has a great Protien Drink. Cookies and Cream and the brand is ??? Oh darn, I forget. But they have it in the refrigerator and if I'm on the run I know I can pop in there and grab one of those.

I wish we had some decent stores here. We don't have a GNC or Vitamin Shop.

I never thought of putting anything in the low carb slim fast. I drink that a lot because like you said, all you have to do is pop open a can. It has more calories than the Atkins ones, but it also has more Protein in it. I kind of switch off between those.

With the vanilla low carb slim fast, you have a lot more fruit choices to add in. I've tried peaches, bananna and blueberry so far. But, I like the chocolate flavor better. I cannot think of too many other things to add to the chocolate....Hmmmm....maybe a tbl. of Peanut Butter in the chocolate. That might be good.

A little peppermint extract is good to add to the chocolate as well.

I have another little shake/smoothie that I made up and it's WONDERFUL! I use 1c skim milk 1 scoop Protein Powder (chocolate) 1/2 a banana (a small one) a cpl spoons of Bryer's carb smart ice cream put it in the blender and YUMMY tastes like a banana split!! MMMM Also I LOVE cottage cheese 0% plus by purity with some wheat crackers. Very good and filling snack.< /p>

I realize this is an old thread, but I recently discovered the "New Whey" 42gr vials. They can be mixed as a shake or drink them straight from the vial, which is my preferred method. Be sure to shop around on the web, I found several places much cheaper than my local GNC or Vitamin Shoppe.

As for the taste, not bad at all. It takes a little getting use to, but much better than those gritty, nasty smelling powder Protein shakes. I just chug it down.

My new favorite high Protein is the Greek Yogurt! It comes in a variety of fat levels (non-fat, 2%, full fat, etc). The interesting this is that the non-fat varieties tend to have more protein! I am currently munching on Oikos brand Honey flavor Non-Fat greek Yogurt. 5.3 ounces for 13 grams of protein, no fat and 120 calories. Perfect for Breakfast. I have also tried the blueberry. Also the Fage brand is good too.... just make sure to get the 2% or non-fat version. The full fat version has 12 grams of fat!! Craziness.

      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.

        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!
