You have to try these



Recommended Posts

So when this journey began I started trying Protein Shakes for the first time. I know why I never drank them before. They are disgusting! I have wasted more money than I care to think about with cases of ready made and cans of powder still in my cabinets.

Finally, I have found the perfect Protein Shake for me. I put one Dole shaker, one Chobani plain yogurt and a splash of sugar free liquid. Blend it for a few seconds in the blender and presto! A little taste of heaven!

20 grams of Protein and 200 calories. Tastes like a milkshake and keeps me full till lunch.< /p>

Slight warning that these are not cheap. The Dole Shakers run around $2.20 and Chobani yogurt about $1.30, so you're looking at $3.50 per shake but well worth the money!

I have also wasted on TON of money on Protein products from GNC, Walmart and my doctor's office; the ONLY one I can tolerate is the UNflavored Unjury. . . add it to o.j., yogurt, milk ---> it's great; with about 21 grams of protein in one scoop.

Sorry I dont know how to attach a link for the Dole Shakers but if you google it a picture will come up. They come from the freezer section where they have the frozen fruit and smoothies. The Dole Shakers have 100 calories and 5 grams of Protein and the yogurt is 100 calories and 15 grams of protein.

I just looked the shakers up and I think I will have to give them a try. So you use plain Greek yogurt? What kind of sugar free liquid do you use?

I use Minute Made 15 cal lemonade but you could use crystal lite too. Really anything just a splash to get the blender moving. Yes I use the plain yogurt because the Dole Splasher s sweet enough and if you use the flavored yogurt it would add 60 more calories.

I love, love, love Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder. (Vitamin Shoppe/Amazon) I put the cappuchino flavor in my coffee and also like the strawberry Kiwi. There are several flavors. You can mix them with yogurt and ice or just mix them with milk or cold Water. They disolve completely and taste yummy. Yes, they too are pricey, but, a container lasts a long, long time!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
