How do you keep your protein shakes from going bad?



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for surgery on the 13th and trying to plan my post op diet. From what I've been reading it seems as though it takes quite a bit of time to drink a Protein Shake after surgery. For those of you who mix your powder with milk or almond milk, do you put it on ice to keep it from going bad? Do you keep a stash in the fridge and only pour out a little at at time? Do you have an insulated shaker? Thanks in advance for your help!

I add lots of ice, keeping it in the fridge should be fine... I make mine with Water but will add Greek yogurt or cottage cheese or Peanut Butter.. Cinnamon or flax seeds... I like to vary the taste of it so I don't use pre made shakes.

I mixed mine with Water because I became lactose intolerant after surgery. In the beginning it took a while to consume one Protein shake but after a few weeks, it became much less difficult.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
