Found A Way To Drink The Protein Shake!



Recommended Posts

I have these huge canisters of Protein powder that are disgusting to me and tend to kill my stomach. I'd tried mixing them with regular skim milk, 2% milk, goat milk, coconut milk, almond milk, Water... and it never worked. I got a juicer for my birthday and needed to go on liquids as my allergies were making me swell. DREAM IDEA: Vegetable juice for the Protein Drink!!!!!

So, I can no drink the Protein shake, and it seems there's enough of a barrier that it doesn't care my digestive system either. The taste and fake sugar are also masked enough that I don't want to gag or drink too quickly. The brand that I can't handle is Bariatric fusion.

I have what I would like to call "blood juice"

I juice the following:

4 carrots medium/small carrots

1 small beet root or a piece of a large one

2 cups of greens (spinach works best)

half a thumb of ginger root

I juice all of that, throw it in a blender cup with the giant scoop of ick. shake it... and it looks like blood and is totally drinkable. I couldn't bring myself to throw away the powder, given the price... and now it looks like it can be a liquid diet food. This is what I'd like to call a win.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
