Silly question but is anyone adding things (like bananas) to their shakes? And thoughts on whats good/not good? Ive been sticking to soy protein shakes with almond milk but the taste is getting old and my preop starts next week.

after surgery I hated my protein shakes. I would freeze half a banana and use that like ice cubes. But in all honesty I am sick of that now too.

Thats what im afraid of. There's only so much I can do. Glad to know fruit is at least an option. Hopefully there are some good recipes!

I add frozen fruit with a tablespoon of lite cool whip, yummy. Just blend till you like the consistency

How soon after surgery can you add fruit to your protein drinks?

I'm PreOp. Unsure

I found out today something interesting. I was all along thinking to myself I would just double scoop my protein powder which on the tub says you can do so I was like cool 60 grams of protein plus the 9 in milk I am set I can do this LOL but NUT told me no that only 30 because are body can only process 30 soon the other scoop is just a wasted scoop

Wow I didn't know that. Thank you.

Thank you I didn't learn this in my nut class

Made a chocolate banana smoothie this morning with my protein powder. It was fantastic. I had tried those premixed shakes and they taste horrible. Finally found a good chocolate powder added it to milk and blended in a banana. Delicious! Now I know I can do this! I found out my surgery was approved Tuesday. I should have my date today!

Careful with fruit even since they are healthy they are still sugar that can spike sugars and delay weight loss.

They have some recipes for every stage. It's on their message board. Some of the Protein shake recipes sound wonderful!
