I use premium Protein Shakes from Costco.they are pre-made in a carton 11oz. I keep several in the fridge and have a small cooler that I take with me if I'm going to be away from the house. You can buy the bags that you can put right in the freezer. I got mine at target. They work great.

you can freeze the pre-made shakes. when your ready to drink it you can thaw it or drink like a slushy type drink.

If I want to keep it cooler for longer I'll put it in an insulated travel mug, but otherwise... it gets warm. I wonder about the travel mugs that you put in the freezer to keep your drink cool because they have an ice-pack type layer in between the inside of the mug and the outside layer. Maybe one of those would help?

You could try re-usable plastic ice cubes. You would have to wash the cubes, but they're dishwashwer-safe and would keep it good and cold without watering down your shake.

If your cup is on the smallish side and you don't want to use the cubes, here's a link for the freezer cup that aquitenonnymouse mentioned. This version is an open mug, but you can also buy them with lids and straws for travel (unless you never use a straw). ;)

Ok I'm a simple gal.... I buy the premier pre made Protein Drinks from costco (yummy at six months I still drink one a day)

And if I'm out and about? I just pack one with me they are "shelf stable" so they don't have to be refrigerated.

No fuss no muss :D

Laura Ven,

So even after your shake, you still don't need to keep it cool?

So even after your shake' date=' you still don't need to keep it cool?![/quote']

Not quite sure what you mean by this???

After my shake? It is gone, I drank it so it doesn't matter what temp it is. :D

Are you talking about when I open it? Yes I make sure I drink it within the hour, if not I would have refrigerate it.

When I was earlier post op, I would use a Packit bag for keeping my shakes and Protein meats in a cold and safe state for many hour.

Here is a search result from Amazon of many different Packit styles:

Just throw it in your freezer and it becomes a longer lasting frozen lunch bag overnight. It worked really well for me when taking Protein Snacks to the theatre or a shake to the monthly support meeting. I do not use it so much any longer because now I always know how to find protein food snack or meal when I am out.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
