Whey Protein and what to do with it...



Recommended Posts

I bought some whey Protein at the advice of my fill specialist, but I'm sort of at a loss for what to do with it. I bought unflavored and a berry flavor. I saw a nice recipe for Mac and cheese that I'm going to try. I tried mixing the unflavored with my yogurts, but umm... ick.... unflavored...not so much.:(

But what else can i do with it? Any one have any other uses for it?

Whey Protein is good in drinks and smoothies...like after the gym I'll get some crushed berries, juice, whey Protein, Water or milk, and blend that sucker up. You need to get protein in your body during weight loss!

You can also just mix it with milk and it's a protein shake/smoothie...

I was banded in Feb 2006 and LOVE the new life that shedding 80lbs has brought for me. However, I am sometimes still frustrated with the challanges we face with making sure we get enough nutrients for our body, hair, skin...etc.. I get tired of chewing my Vitamins and picking up pieces of my hair off the bathroom floor when I rebel and don't take my Vitamins. A year ago, I joined my husband in his business which involves selling Noni juice. I love the product and within the company, they have other product lines that have spun off that use Noni as the underlying basis. I often drink my Breakfast (slimfast shake, Atkins or some other Protein based shake) but I usually by them in the can because I was told by my dr that we were not to have powder. After reading several excerpts here in the forum, it looks like several people are drinking powder forms of Protein. So, is it ok to mix drinks up or not? Or, are they referring to massive quantities of powder ingestion? I suppose I should ask my dr's office to clarify, right? Sorry, I'm so long...this is my first time writing the forum...

      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!

      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!!
