I haven't done this with the RTD shakes as I don't like them, but I do it with the Syntrex nectar powder. I heat unsweetened almond milk until it's 130-135 degrees, then add the Protein Powder. It tastes great! Just don't let the temp go over 140 degrees, as your Protein will change texture (although the RTD shakes are heat processed to make them shelf safe, so not 100% sure how worried you should be...)

I make it with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury but I like it darker and less sweet so I add a tea spoon of unsweetened coco powder to 1% milk (if I need to get in the 8 grams of extra protein) or unsweetened cashew milk (only 25 calories).

I heat 6 oz of milk and a tea spoon of coco powder to 140. (I have a thermometer) I stir 1/2 scoop of powder in remaining 2oz of warm milk and stir it together. Yum.

Experiment and report back! I have been thinking about doing the same thing, so perhaps I will give it a try today. The worst that will happen is you'll ruin one serving, right?

I haven't done it but I think it should be ok. I use the caramel premier as my coffee Creamer and add it directly to my very hot cup of coffee without problem. I think the ready to drink shakes aren't as finicky about temps as the powder (adding powder to hot liquid above 140 degrees makes it clump and be yucky). So as long as you gently warm it, it should be fine! There is also Protein hot chocolate mix that is a powder but can be added to hot Water - I've tried that, I think the brand is Healthwise - and it was pretty good.

Okay, I experimented. I made up 8 oz of skim milk with Gold Standard Extreme Milk chocolate Protein powder cold, and then zapped it for a little over a minute in the microwave. It got very warm, and a little frothy on top. It did not clump, but I think if I had continued to heat it, the froth would have continued to build. I may conduct further trials. In any case, it is almost like drinking hot chocolate with a little whipped cream on top. It is very good, and since it is about 39° here with the wind blowing at up to 35 mph, it is going down very nicely.

I usually just by the Protein hot chocolate from BariWise. I don't like the way heated up Protein shakes tend to separate.

That sounds like a good idea. I bought a five pound pail of the Gold Standard stuff, so I am going to be drinking it for a while though. :blink:

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
