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 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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
