Sick Of Chocolate Protein Shakes? Try This!



Recommended Posts

I never thought I would say this, but I'm actually getting tired of chocolate (well, chocolate Protein that is, haven't had REAL chocolate since early December). I know I didn't invent this, but I thought I would share my morning fruity protein smoothy:

2 scoops strawberry protein whey

1 cup frozen strawberries

1 cup Trop 50 orange juice

---------

Purée in a blender

Makes about 12oz

300 cal

38g protein

Thanks for posting this, sounds delicious, but I am worried about the citric acid. I will try it at 6 weeks out and see how it goes.

Calitrells, most definitely wait til at least 6 weeks post op. I should have put that in my post! I'm 12 weeks out so the acid in the oj and fruit don't bother me. Plus, the whey Protein mixed in makes it not so harsh on the stomach compared to a straight glass of oj :)

Dorrie Robles-It does contain 20g of sugar :(...but I have diluted it with a cup of water/ice (blend) before which made it about 16oz, that's two separate drinks for me (10g sugar each drink, then I'd freeze the other half).

I use the GNC Gold Standard vanilla Ice Cream whey Protein mix. Then, I add sugar free Jello powders for all my different flavors. I love putting in cheesecake jello and a little bit of cinnamon. Tastes great!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
