Coffee Protein Powder! Is it safe for us?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone~~

I needed to share this with you guys~~

I'm addicted to coffee .. all my life.

I start drinking coffee back after 6 months from surgery and I drink it coffee everyday (shot of espresso with 150ml of nonfat milk and stevia)

I kinda got tired of it I wanted to change so I searched and I found this 2 products

which basically Protein powder with real coffee as they claim!!

Before I go on I wanted to show you this guys because

- I wanted to see what you think about Protein Powder

- what is your experience with it and your story

- is it helpful or safe?

- what your surgeons and your nutrition told you about Protein powders as well~~

So take your space and share and just lets chat about them~~^^

First:

javapro

81xIIqeLj5L._SY679_.jpg

816izYP%2BJmL._SY679_.jpg

It comes with so many flavors.

Now the info are for 28g .. but I think 28g is a lot for one cup for us (/^\)?

Second:

click

81qFThXt7XL._SY679_.jpg

81ArOnrdd8L._SY679_.jpg

It comes with so many flavors also.

also I think 31g is too much (/^\)

So now in the first one

I don't know .. I think there is so much protein?

The second one its great but there is a lot of sugar!!!

what you guys think?

- would you use one of them? or did you use one?

- did anyone ask a nutrition about them before?

- are they good for us or not?

I really will appreciate if you guys give me some answers or share some of your opinions about them and about protein powders^^

Have a nice day~~

I'm not sure how to read those labels. They are quite different to the labels in New Zealand. My guide for labels are less than 10 grams of fat and 10 grams of carbs per 100 grams and it's okay.

As for the coffee aspect my dietician says coffee is fine if you are getting in enough fluids but not to add any chocolate or flavour shots. I often add a teaspoon of coffee to my vanilla Protein shake.

The sugar on the one is 6 grams and we should look for 5 grams and under so I would totally still try it!

We need to see the list of ingredients. That is what can tell us if our tummies can take it. Cool stuff!

There are different kinds of Protein so I will go check....

I'm unsure of those that you posted.

There were only 4 approved Protein powders & ready mix Protein shakes in my program's diet.

One of those was Chike coffee Protein Powder. They have two varieties. I'd mix a regular shake and then add this Chike Coffe powder to it. It was awesome.

I was able to make it through my post op liquid diet very easily with this wonderful tasting powder.

oh

the info on the labels are for 31g only!! ><

I was think of adding 15g (1 tablespoon) of this mix with hot Water as a change from regular coffee~~

my doctor said coffee is okay too~~ but should be sugarless~~

so your dietitian is okay with the Protein Shake?

I think teaspoon is good this is a great idea it give some flavor for your coffee + the benefits~

I might give this method a try~

I always mixed it with ice Water in a shaker bottle.

No strong smell.....other than that of rich coffee.< /p>

The mocha version is killer, too.

What about adding either an unflavored Protein powder or even a chocolate to regular coffee? If think you'd get the best of both worlds and not have to get a whole extra type of protein powder...

I don't use Protein powder (/^\)

I tried too

but the smell of the powder .. I couldn't handle it T_T

so I thought I may use it with coffee to help me drink a lil ~~~

I do use chocolate but I kinda want something for everyday use (/^\)

I was allowed to drink 16ozs of coffee starting at 3 weeks out. I frequently mix Protein powder right into the coffee- this was suggested by my nutritionist.

My doctor too allowed me to drink coffee!!

But he didn't even check my Protein powders he is 100% against them :/

this is what makes me so confused.

      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.
