Has anyone tried making their Protein into a milk shake consistency and adding some Splenda? That's what I've been doing and I really like the taste of it. Just wanted to share my idea.

I've been using either unjury vanilla or nectar vanilla. I them add about a TBS or two of SF pudding mix for a variety of flavors. Tonight, I had a vanilla mixed with SF cheesecake pudding in and sprinkled in some SF cherry Jello mix for Cherry Cheesecake... AWESOME! banana is great as well.

If you make them in a blender with ice, they will get really thick like a milk shake. Frozen fruit is great in them too. Also get some of the sf syrups. I like sf coconut and

sf salted caramel

Yes that is what I have been doing this weeks. I use 1/2 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1/2 cup coffee, 1 tsp splenda, ice, sf caramel Syrup, and three scoops of EAS lean Protein powder. Love it and low cal _22.5 g Protein.< /p>

I had the same problem with Atkins. Premier is sooo much better. None of the same symptoms. I found them at Sams

Wow! I wonder why. My NUT said he has the same symptoms as well. I'm going to give Premier a try. It has to better than the way I've been feeling for the past 36hrs. I look & feel 7 months preggo. Lol Thankful I haven't brought my entire pre-op supply yet.

Premier is very good and I hate Protein Drinks. I picked up vanilla at Costco.... I think vanilla gives you more mixing options.

I begin my 2-week pre-op diet on 7/29. I used the Atkins Protein shakes as Meal Replacements a few times this week to try them out. Now' date=' I have been very gassy and bloated.

Has anyone had this problem with their shakes? Is there anything I could do to avoid gassiness and bloating during my pre-op diet?[/quote']

I don't like those shakes I use Isopure

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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!
