Do you not like your Protein shakes?

I've been using Jay Robb whey Protein powder with Stevia and I really like it.

It smooth and not gritty at all. It has 25 grams of Protein in each serving and if you use skim milk that will add another 8 grams of protein.

I add to it Torani sugar free syrups made with Splenda. They come in many, many flavors.

You can buy Jay Robb at Whole Foods, directly from the company or Amazon.< /p>

You can buy Torani sugar free syrups from the company directly or if you have World Market in your area they carry them too.

Good luck in finding something you like.

You can also use unflavored Protein Powder in many different foods like Greek Yogurt, sugar free pudding, even mashed potatoes. Be creative. It mixes better with cold foods. I used Unjury and it worked well for me. I would also encourage you to try several types of shakes, you might hit on one that works.

At 5 weeks out I was getting more Protein from food with Protein added then with just shakes. I got an unflavored whey protein powder and added it to most things I ate. I added it to hot tea and Soups. I added chocolate protein to my cream of wheat. I got a lot of protein from greek yogurt, cottage cheese and refried Beans at 5 weeks out also. I also enjoy Muscle Milk Light (chocolate) as a source of protein. I'll have one at night if I calculate my numbers and I'm deficient in calories or protein.

I also use Muscle Milk light but if you don't like mike I suggest Syntrax Nectar, there have several flavors but I love the fuzzy navel fruit flavored. I blend it with ice and make a smoothie.

I too hate shakes. Have you tried getting cottage cheese? When I was stage one my diet was mostly Chiobani 100 yogurt, cottage cheese, creamed Soup and milk. I could not choke down the whey products.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
