Morning Protein



Recommended Posts

So glad to help. I like the Mocha Java and Cappuccino is my favorite; the vanilla nut and the hazelnut are ok, but not my total fave. Whichever which one you get, though, is better than that wallpaper paste stuff...I buy the stuff by the case b/c I am pretty tight in the morning; two of those, the gym, and a Apex fruit fuel bar are pretty much my whole food intake til about one or so....

Carnation Instant Breakfast was the best for me I added 1/4 cup of non fat powdered milk to boost the Protein, you can aslo add some Peanut Butter to the chocolate and some cinnamon to the vanilla. I too am not a breakfast person and never will be .My doc told me to just adjust my eating to my time schedule. so I have coffee in the morning then at 11 I eat breakfast,usually some hummus and carrots. around 3 I have some Soup for lunch then I eat dinner at 7 . It seems to work and at least you are not forcing yourself to drink that nasty protein.

I haven't tried them yet, but I'm going to try these recipes using Carnation Instant Breakfast. I've been drinking it cold every morning but once the weather gets colder I think I'll want something warm and these recipes look really good.

Coltonwade...You had recommended those Bolthouse Farms drinks before and on your recommendation I tried them and let me just say the Mocha Cappucino is delicious! Unfortunately none of the stores around here seem to sell the Hazelnut Latte or I'd get that one too. I bought the Vanilla Chai Tea and didn't really like it that much...a bit too sickly sweet. I love Chai tea, but didn't really care for that one. But the other one was yum! Thanks for suggesting those. :)

I have been buying protien bars for breakfast, i have tried slimfast optima (good) proti-life (good) and Body for Life (blechh).

I was a protien shake in the morning person, but my band doc, insists on NOT drinking calories, or drinking food.

I am finding The protien bars a little more portable, and there is no washing of cups involved !!

I have not tried the Vanilla since i dont really care for Vanilla drinks much anyway . I LOVE LOVE The Mocha and the Hazelnut though .

I would ask the stores you get the Mocha at if they can get you the Hazelnut ?

Glad you liked them

      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.
