Coffee Protein Powder! Is it safe for us?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone~~

I needed to share this with you guys~~

I'm addicted to coffee .. all my life.

I start drinking coffee back after 6 months from surgery and I drink it coffee everyday (shot of espresso with 150ml of nonfat milk and stevia)

I kinda got tired of it I wanted to change so I searched and I found this 2 products

which basically Protein powder with real coffee as they claim!!

Before I go on I wanted to show you this guys because

- I wanted to see what you think about Protein Powder

- what is your experience with it and your story

- is it helpful or safe?

- what your surgeons and your nutrition told you about Protein powders as well~~

So take your space and share and just lets chat about them~~^^

First:

javapro

81xIIqeLj5L._SY679_.jpg

816izYP%2BJmL._SY679_.jpg

It comes with so many flavors.

Now the info are for 28g .. but I think 28g is a lot for one cup for us (/^\)?

Second:

click

81qFThXt7XL._SY679_.jpg

81ArOnrdd8L._SY679_.jpg

It comes with so many flavors also.

also I think 31g is too much (/^\)

So now in the first one

I don't know .. I think there is so much protein?

The second one its great but there is a lot of sugar!!!

what you guys think?

- would you use one of them? or did you use one?

- did anyone ask a nutrition about them before?

- are they good for us or not?

I really will appreciate if you guys give me some answers or share some of your opinions about them and about protein powders^^

Have a nice day~~

I'm not sure how to read those labels. They are quite different to the labels in New Zealand. My guide for labels are less than 10 grams of fat and 10 grams of carbs per 100 grams and it's okay.

As for the coffee aspect my dietician says coffee is fine if you are getting in enough fluids but not to add any chocolate or flavour shots. I often add a teaspoon of coffee to my vanilla Protein shake.

The sugar on the one is 6 grams and we should look for 5 grams and under so I would totally still try it!

We need to see the list of ingredients. That is what can tell us if our tummies can take it. Cool stuff!

There are different kinds of Protein so I will go check....

I'm unsure of those that you posted.

There were only 4 approved Protein powders & ready mix Protein shakes in my program's diet.

One of those was Chike coffee Protein Powder. They have two varieties. I'd mix a regular shake and then add this Chike Coffe powder to it. It was awesome.

I was able to make it through my post op liquid diet very easily with this wonderful tasting powder.

oh

the info on the labels are for 31g only!! ><

I was think of adding 15g (1 tablespoon) of this mix with hot Water as a change from regular coffee~~

my doctor said coffee is okay too~~ but should be sugarless~~

so your dietitian is okay with the Protein Shake?

I think teaspoon is good this is a great idea it give some flavor for your coffee + the benefits~

I might give this method a try~

I always mixed it with ice Water in a shaker bottle.

No strong smell.....other than that of rich coffee.< /p>

The mocha version is killer, too.

What about adding either an unflavored Protein powder or even a chocolate to regular coffee? If think you'd get the best of both worlds and not have to get a whole extra type of protein powder...

I don't use Protein powder (/^\)

I tried too

but the smell of the powder .. I couldn't handle it T_T

so I thought I may use it with coffee to help me drink a lil ~~~

I do use chocolate but I kinda want something for everyday use (/^\)

I was allowed to drink 16ozs of coffee starting at 3 weeks out. I frequently mix Protein powder right into the coffee- this was suggested by my nutritionist.

My doctor too allowed me to drink coffee!!

But he didn't even check my Protein powders he is 100% against them :/

this is what makes me so confused.

      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!
