  1. But I do believe u gotta find wut works for u.as everyone is different..n like I said all this comes easy cause ive done it before n I also enjoy it..I love the isopure no carb..n I love the fresh fruit n veggi shakes I make with my ninja tastes great..get all my vitamins n minerals frm them.an they are great for summer...ooh if anyone wants fun fruity flavored protein drinks check out maxmuscle.com they have a brand called emerge good bit of fun fruity.tangy.tart.n sour flavors
  2. My dieticion told me tht since im gonna be sippin on my protein shake off n on all day tht I need to make it thicker..here is my thinkin..I think im gonna buy plain greek yogurt n add my 25grm of protein in it instead of water..so its more like a vanilla pudding n not a thick nasty drink to try n drink down..think tht wud make me sick lol..then just save my drinkin for drinkin water..n if im in a hurry n on the go then I can do the shake idea n see how it goes..im drinkin isopure no carb..n dnt seem thick at all so I dnt see it getting thick with less water n more protein cause its not thick like most lol..ive already halfed the water n still wasnt thick..u half it any more u mite as well eat the powder lol
  3. I am now on my two week liquids before surgery!! So far so good! Managed to get 975 calories in today lolz n tht says alot for me I feel super full n miserable rite now n have felt tht way all day..still have 25 grm of protein to intake lol omg!!
  4. Lol well thanks.but heres the big shocker! I have not had my surgery yet! I have just done alot of studying on the sleeve goin to seminar n online research.. because this is wut I want..I already been thru all the hoops they want u to jump thru to see all the doctors an all.passed with flyin colors..got my surgery date set for june 5th.just waiting to see if insurance accepts!! I knw alot also because I have pretty much done all the different diets..been on meal replacement shakes..fresh fruit n veggi shakes..before n everything on my own so it comes easy to me..the cool thing I liked about the sleeve is tht u get to still lead a normal life afterwards..u still get to eat pretty much all the same stuff..my doctor prefer I dnt eat pasta.rice.or potatoes.no bread.which I never ate bread anyway lol.. after surgery..n everything must be sugar free.fat free.etc...cause why would u go thru all the trouble n hard work n put the bad stuff bak in ur body..n I agree with him..alot of ppl dnt like dr.oz but I agree with most of his stuff n think he is a intelligant man..n any doctor will tell u to stay on outskirts of the store..where everything more natural then not then when u shop in the center iles..I have spent my life dieting lolz unfortunatley diet n exercise was not my problem..I found out I had polycystic ovarian syndrome..n this is why I have been battling with my weight n cant get it off..seen a pamplet at dr office one day n had all the symtoms n said I wanna be tested for this n sure enough I had it.wut wud u knw yrs n yrs later..I finally figured out I was not the problem lol.was yet a good but still sad feeling tht it took this many yrs n me to figure it out on my own..but hey look where im at now..n I praise god for it!! N I just pray tht I get accepted for the surgery so I no longer have to battle this weight n can finally enjoy life
  5. Congradulations!! Tht is wonderful..everyones body is diff obviously hasnt affected ur weightloss so keep doin you!! Thts wut its all about hun.wut works for u..
  6. U looooook amazing!!!! @_@ deff an inspiration
  7. It mite dehydrate u frm drinkin it all day..but one cup come on..lol..an caffine makes u not hungry lolz yea they a nut! Lol..but deff agree with the 1/2 n 1/2 n sugared creamers bein very bad idea..
  8. Drs say best tht if u have a hard time getting fluids down meaning water..dnt put crystal light pkts in it or any of the others not good for you..but u can add a small amount of ur protein powder just enough to flavor ur water n make it easier to get it down..for anyone tht has a hard time with this
  9. Or if u prefer just buying the vanilla protein cause u can do more with it..like fruit n veggi protein shakes..reg protein..etc..u can also buy the flavored extracts..mint.coffee.coconut.etc..n just have fun coming up with ur own..
  10. Also if u are a big coffee fan just because u like the taste of coffee..they do have whey protein coffee flavored..coffee mocha flavor..they have white chocolate..reg coffee flavor..etc
  11. You can use either coconut milk in coffee if u want the creaminess..n if u like coconut tht is..tht is wut I use..better for u an I think it taste good..kinda reminds me of the dutch bros cocomo when I use it..I normally add my protein powder in my coffee so I get my breakfast n my cup of coffee for the morning..never really was one to wake up n really wanna eat rite away so works perfect for me..u can use the low fat sugar free creamers..agave nectar sweetner n other artifical sweetners..I wud suggest the agave its more natural then most..u pretty much wanna stick with all the natural stuff as possible..most drs will tell u tht if u stay on out skirts of store u will do fine..its goin in the center iles tht will get u in trouble..with all the processed foods n unnatural stuff..
  12. Its pretty much the stuff u add in ur coffee u gotta watch out for..
  13. Yes u can still have it! Its just wether u can stomach it or not..an since ur stomach is smaller u prob have to be careful with caffine intake because could make u jittery n all..the amount u could consume before prob isnt the same now..so start. Off small lol
  14. Yes I agree makin the coffee this way with the protein tastes pretty good to me as well
  15. Mean when I make the instant coffee part I take 1/2 cup water n add like tablespoon coffee
  16. I use instant coffee.with a drop of coconut extract..an my isopure protein mixed up in 12oz water like im suppose to for my meal..lil less then a cup of instant coffee..put all in blender..my protein is vanilla flavor so it pretty much flavors it for me..but u can add aguave nectar or something like tht in it..I use coconut milk to give it a lil more creamyness.add ice n blend..u can also add coffee extract to give it a stronger coffee flavor if u like..u can use whatever coffee n protein u like......another neat trick for like pudding is take plain yogurt n add ur protein powder in it an u have protein pudding..or if ur sik of water..but knw chrystal light n all tht isnt good for u..just add a lil protein powder to ya water bottle to give it some flavor..they say its better then any drink mix on the go.u get ur vitamins
  17. Deff watch ur calorie intake as well tht will deff help..maybe download a app in phone to help u keep track of tht..try also makin raw veggi n fruit smoothies..since its summer its a great time for all tht..the lighter u eat.the easier it is to burn it off..
  18. I think since u are tryin to lose weight n build muscle..isopure no carb protein powder is the best thing to do..u can get the vanilla flavor..n buy extracts to flavor it how u like..add fruit n so on..it tastes great..I got the creamy vanilla n its awsome..also use the smaller weight so u are doin more toning while losin..an cardio..I have heard many great things about the insanity work out n the px90 thinkin about doin one of those later myself..I bought coconut extract..to add in it..an In morning I make a blended coffee with my protein..so I have my coffee n breakfast in one..isopure is one of the best protein powders out their for women cause it is a no carb one..n it helps u tone n build lean muscle while workin out..also at musclemax.com they have a brand called emerge with a bunch of fruity fun flavors for summer check those out..its for weight loss..like cherry tart.sour apple.minty mojito.etc..
  19. Try freezin a banana n add it in blender with it..I knw takin the added time to put in a blender to add stuff ..instead of the whole grab n go isnt always wut works for us n oue schedule lolz..but sometimes tht extra few min can make a world of diff lol..I normally put all my dry ingredients in my ninja night before..for next day.so when I get up I just add liquid fruit n ice.n go
