Water in protein



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

I’ve got a quick question about mixing up Protein powders. I bought the sampler of the syntax and several of them are fruity flavors. The directions say to mix them with Water which makes sense but it also says to add 8-16 ounces. I tried it, but good gravy! It is much too strong. I’m a plain water drinker, and this is overpowering. About the only way I can manage it is to mix the packet in at least 22-24 ounces. Do y’all think this is okay?

I'd just make them up and add extra Water or liquid--For non-fruit flavors I added Fat Free Fairlife Milk to up the Protein or even more or decaff coffee. And for tea and fruit flavors I used either water or Decaf tea.

Thanks FluffyChix!
I was worried I was doing something wrong by diluting it more.

Yep, I do it all the time. My family complains that my drinks taste too “watered down” but I just can’t take the sweetness

nope - it just means you're getting even more Water, which is never a bad thing!

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
