How do you get your powdered protein to dissolve?



Recommended Posts

:) I've read all the suggestions. I'll try some of them. My dietician said I only have 2 more weeks of Protein Shakes, but I absolutely abhor them.I have the Walmart chocolate and vanilla. I've never mixed anything in with them other than milk. I have left them off for 3 days now. Boost, instant Breakfast, etc. have too many carbs. I don't go back to the dietician until 1/27. I know I need the Protein. Don't want to buy anything more since I am now so close to being done witrh them, but I can see that there might be occasions in the future where I need them. Is Peanut Butter about the best to mix with chocolate?

Hubby and I found that GNC has a plastic cup with a lid that mixes. All you do is shake. It's white with a red lid and is around $10. It works great!

I use a little one serving blender thing I bought at either Walmart or target. Also, the only shake mix I can stick too is Cambridge. It is bought over the internet and has been around forever. I add about a quarter cup of soy milk, splenda, and about 1/4 of a banana. Sometimes I blend up ice too. It tastes so good that my 12 yr old son and 8 yr old grandaughter constantly bug me to "make them a shake". In the morning, I blend hot Water, soy, instant or brewed coffee, some sugar-free Kahlua flavored Syrup along with the vanilla Cambridge and I swear it tastes as good as a latte from starbucks.

There are lots of recipes to make the shakes very good. Artificial flavors and sweeteners are fantastic.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
