I have been struggling (as many of us do early on) getting in adequate Protein for the day...

Getting slightly discouraged I've been talking with my sister who had GB over 5 yrs ago. Explained my frustrations and she reminded me of a a Protein shake that helped her reach goals.

I tried it today and I couldn't get enough, far from just a month ago when smelling the Protein powder make me wanna be sick!!

8oz of almond milk, (or any)

1 scoop protein powder

2 Tbs of PB2

Cup of ice

BLEND

* Occasionally a squirter of SF Hershey's chocolate syrup *

It's so good.

@@KalelsWifey Have you tried Premier Protein shakes? They're pre-made and taste delicious. I don't care for any of the powders, even when I use my NutriBullet to mix them. You get 30 grams of protein in just 11 ounces! I've used them from day 1 to achieve my 63-66 grams of daily protein. I'm eating 3 meals and 2 Snacks which average 12-15 grams of protein each. So far so good. I have my first post-op visits this coming Tuesday. Excited to see my nutritionist as we've become friends. Your shake sounds good. I love PB2

I also have been struggling to find something I love. Midi g my powders with milk helps for sure but I will try that premier protein

What protein powder do u use?

I use Sure Protein (Walmart) sells it, it's so masked by the PB2 that I don't realize I'm drinking a shake.

@@beachgal2935 I have not tried that. I have heard they can be expensive. Is that true? I'm trying to rely on food for protein but I don't think that'll be possible until I've reached 3-4 months and my pouch has properly healed and not so swollen. I will look into these. Thank you.

Aussie question "what is PB2"

Pb2 is a powdered Peanut butter that blends really well when making a protein shake or a smoothie.

I like Premier the best so far and it's the cheapest pre-mixed I've found at Walmart and Sams Club. Krogers also has it. I like the chocolate. I haven't been thrilled with any of the Protein drinks so far but haven't been disgusted by any yet either. I ordered some stuff called Whey-licious from Dr. Hale Nutrition for after surgery because I can get a lot of protein in a small volume.

Ahh thanks for that, it sounds amazing.
