Ps. I'm happy to know that lifting weights won't make me look like an Amazon woman! I think that's what a lot if us ladies are scared off when it comes to weights. Thanks!! :-)

I went out and got a tub of this Protein today in Cookies and creme flavor (my goto shake flavor-love it!). Crossing my fingers that it will make weight training and recovery from endurance running faster and easier.

The GNC manager stated it was the best Protein Shake they have to offer and that it is absorbed very well compared to 100% whey Protein shakes. It was a bit on the pricey side' date=' but fortunately they had a 50% sale going on it. Recommendation is 3 scoops a serving for 60 grams of protein, but there is no way the body can process that much (from my understanding) and it is fairly high calorie for that much protein (280 calories). Instead, i am going to try a little more than 1 scoop per serving. The GNC manager also recommended this after bringing up the 60g per serving concern. My current running workouts consist of 5k timed (under 30 min), endurance (1+ hour) or HITT (30 min). Weight training is on alternating days with Sunday off. I have to get more serious about the weight training. Others have suggested I might be low on energy so this shake should definitely help in that area.

I plan on sticking with Syntrax matrix for morning and evening shakes, but would like to hear from others if they think I should just take 3 servings of Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 a day and drop the Syntrax matrix shakes completely. I have been taking Syntrax matrix shakes 2x daily for about 5.5 month with good success at losing weight and keeping tight skin. Now I am focusing on strength to fill out muscle lost during weight loss ( at about 22% body fat now but do not have much muscle definition).[/quote']

If your new to going to the gym...I'm pretty sure you gym has trainers there. I really suggest taken a few sessions with one. And let them know that you want to add weight training along with your cardio workout. I know it can be intimidating at first, there's a lot to learn about which body groups to work together and what machines work those groups...if you just started the gym your gym provides a 1 hour free session with a trainer.

Good luck

The Amplified Wheybolic Extreme has really been a surprise this week! It has improved my stamina and endurance when running. It has a strange smell, but tastes great with Water or soy milk. I have been taking it 3x a day: once when I rise, once after a work out and once when I go to sleep. The scale is also moving; another 5 lbs this week (190 lb. as of this morning) and my chest / biceps are starting to get some good definition from just one week on it ( chest, arm and back focus this week with dumbells).

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
