Drinking coffee with my protein shake



Recommended Posts

Hi,

This is probably a silly question but I'm confused, so here it is.

I am in the full liquid stage of my post-op diet and for my mid-day meal I am having a Protein Shake. Can I drink coffee after my shake or is the shake considered like a "solid"?

My Dr. considers it a liquid.

I add one teaspoon of Starbucks VIA Italian Roast Decaf to my Protein shakes. Yum!!! I kill two birds with one stone. ;)

I added instant coffee to my pre op shakes, couldn't stomach them or stand the smell and the coffee took the edge off a bit.

I am at phase II....thicker liquids and shakes. I ave sample menu from doc ad it says to wait an hour to drink after meals and shakes. I also dont think i can drink coffee unless Decaf. good luck!

I think I am one of the few who actually liked the taste of my pre-op shakes (not much I don't like the taste of lol ) but I do like the idea of adding instant coffee to the shake. Thanks

I love that! You can use coffee or any of the sf ff pudding mixes. Just be careful after liquids because Jello instant pudding mixes have 300 sodium per serving. I think their are 4 servings per box. Also PB2 is great to get Peanut Butter flavor!

I am an avid coffee drinker so I will have my coffee and Protein Shake together for Breakfast. And when I finish my Protein shake, I drink a bottle of Water, and then I go for my second cup of coffee. :D Good luck.

If any of you like iced Michael coffees, try buying chocolate myofusion. Fill a shaker cup with ice, now fill with hot coffee and let melt down then add a scoop of myofusion. shake well. This is my Breakfast every morning. So yummy, not gritty. Also goes with vanilla flavored.

25 GMs of Protein. 150 calories. I've been doig that for 10 months. Down 75 lbs.

      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! 😞
