Just had my first protein shake



Recommended Posts

I'm way early in the process trying to lose 25 pounds as my surgeon requests. Seems like a good time to get used to drinking Protein Shakes. So I just had my first one - Syntrax Nectar Grape with Water. WOW! This is not going to be easy! 😂

Try other flavors. I had good luck with Premier Protein powder… it’s like $22-26 on Amazon cones several different flavors… I’m lactose intolerant so I mixed mines with almond milk. It’s an acquired taste lol but so worth it… you’ll drop that weight in no time and can have your surgery and start your new life. Best of luck to you 🤗

I swore by OWYN ("Only What You Need") vanilla before surgery, and post-op I can't stand them and basically only drink Fairlife Core Power which is essentially chocolate (or vanilla) milk with Protein in it. Find the one you like now but don't assume you're going to love it after surgery, so don't stock up.

I always mix the fruit-flavored Syntrax powders with Crystal Light lemonade. I think they taste better that way - but then, not everyone loves Syntrax products.

I’m a fan of ghost Protein Powder mixed with almond milk. The flavors chips ahoy, Oreo and fruity Cereal milk really taste like their names!!! I like premier and Vega powders to, but never get sick of the ghost. They are sold out a lot on the ghost website so I always get them from gnc.com

I had the chocolate truffle with 1% milk this afternoon. SO MUCH BETTER!!!

the Syntrax one? I like chocolate and vanilla powders (regardless of brand) mixed with almond milk (or any kind of milk) rather than Water.

Yes the Syntrax but I'll keep that in mind and try other choco and vanillas. I want to get used to non-milk milks, too, since I can be a bit lactose intolerant. I plan to try soy and almond and hopefully make the switch, but not there yet.

YOU GOT THIS!!!! I have several favors of Bariatric Fusion shakes and they are very tasty. The chicken noodle Soup is my go to dinner shake. Nice to have something warm and savory after sweet shakes throughout the day. Today I mixed it with some chicken broth and a spoon full of strained fat free cream of chicken Soup and it was just heavenly. All of my other shakes flavors I mix with lactaid Protein. I’m 4 days post op, but so far so good.

Savory shakes - that sounds great. I'm a vegetarian, but I'm sure there are some out there. That's a great idea.

Doobie.

Just had the Syntrax Nectar Double Stuffed (Oreo) with 1% milk. Oh yeah! Now we're talking. Also had the Lemonade with ice cold Water and was much better than the Grape with room temp water. So I think I can do this.

      I don't know when I reached Onederland but just weighed myself @198. 😁

      Constantly amazing myself. This is probably a normal experience for all of us on a WL journey.
      This morning I was at 174 pounds (78.9 kilos). I can perceive that my brain hasn't really caught up to this yet, as I still feel obese, even though I am close to being considered a normal weight, not even overweight. The smaller clothes, the higher fitness level, the great blood work results, the energy- these all tell me a totally different story!
      I have NEVER EVER been, never, not once in my life, nada, zip, zilch, zero times, been "thin." I think this explains some of the disconnect between the reality of my body and the stuckness of my brain. I do have confidence that my mind will catch up soon ❤️
      Not really having the experience of true hunger yet, but I can perceive the peristalsis of my digestive tract. And I am getting very good at spotting head hunger, and simply noticing it, like a Buddhist.

      I ordered the Barbecue Protein Crisps here from BariatricPal, and find them quite tasty. The Ranch flavour, not so much. They are very filing and have a satisfying crunch.
      I continue to shrink, and am amazed at the changes all over my body. Visually, it is striking to me. In the mirror, I look thin to my eyes, but I don't feel thin, although I can see more bones and veins and tendons and floppy skin. Cardio-wise, It takes a lot more effort to get my heart rate up and I'm now monitoring which heart zone I can get into and for how long. My resting heart rate is the lowest it's ever been.
      If I think about it, and I left myself feel it for a time, I weep (like, boohoo cry) with joy. I am so grateful to myself, and proud of myself for having the courage to have taken the leap to better health.
