Nasty Whey Protein Shake ~ can I add stuff??



Recommended Posts

Okay.... I bought vanilla and chocolate whey Protein shake mix at GNC and some Atkins ready made shakes. They Atkins ones are okay. The GNC are NASTY!!!!! I spent about $45 on the two large containers so I hate to throw them away. Can I add stuff to them to make them taste better??? I was thinking maybe a packet of the crystal light to go to the vanilla shake. Or does adding stuff change the shake? My preop diet is 2-3 shakes, 2 high Protein lean meats, green veggies and 1 cup of fruit after a meal. So I'm not sure if I can add fruit to the shake.

Thanks!

I just went to GNC and Walmart myself this morning to buy some of these Protein products. I was hoping to find smaller containers so I can do some taste testing first but didn't find many small. I did find something called 'Any Whey' that is supposedly tasteless to add to things to up the protein. I got some Isopure that I've heard referred to as Isopuke so we shall see. I figure I am going to have to get some of these things down those days I am on the pure liquids, but tried to buy as small as I could amounts of each, then when I find one I like can go back and get more. Just praying I find one I like!

      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?
