Whey Protein and what to do with it...



Recommended Posts

I bought some whey Protein at the advice of my fill specialist, but I'm sort of at a loss for what to do with it. I bought unflavored and a berry flavor. I saw a nice recipe for Mac and cheese that I'm going to try. I tried mixing the unflavored with my yogurts, but umm... ick.... unflavored...not so much.:(

But what else can i do with it? Any one have any other uses for it?

whey Protein is good in drinks and smoothies...like after the gym I'll get some crushed berries, juice, whey Protein, Water or milk, and blend that sucker up. You need to get protein in your body during weight loss!

You can also just mix it with milk and it's a protein shake/smoothie...

I was banded in Feb 2006 and LOVE the new life that shedding 80lbs has brought for me. However, I am sometimes still frustrated with the challanges we face with making sure we get enough nutrients for our body, hair, skin...etc.. I get tired of chewing my Vitamins and picking up pieces of my hair off the bathroom floor when I rebel and don't take my Vitamins. A year ago, I joined my husband in his business which involves selling Noni juice. I love the product and within the company, they have other product lines that have spun off that use Noni as the underlying basis. I often drink my Breakfast (slimfast shake, Atkins or some other Protein based shake) but I usually by them in the can because I was told by my dr that we were not to have powder. After reading several excerpts here in the forum, it looks like several people are drinking powder forms of Protein. So, is it ok to mix drinks up or not? Or, are they referring to massive quantities of powder ingestion? I suppose I should ask my dr's office to clarify, right? Sorry, I'm so long...this is my first time writing the forum...

      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.
