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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
