Hi everyone,
Has anyone found a protein drink that they like? The only one I can do is the
Bolthouse Farms Mocha Cappuccino. All the others make me gag.
Since this has coffee in it..I'm not sure it's excepted as a fluid I can drink?
Let me know if you have any info on this.
Way loooooong ago when I started looking into WLS, I purchased a bunch of samples from www.vitalady.com and tried a bunch to find what I liked. I know my tastes might change after surgery, but I wanted to give it a shot. I found I couldn't stand the SMELL of ANY protein drink, but the flavor wasn't too bad if I could eliminate the smell. I didn't like the way the vanilla clumped up, and never met a vanilla powder I really like. Eventually I settled on Syntrax Nectar Fuzzy Navel as a great (if smelly) beverage. I put it in a 16 oz water bottle with some orange crystal light, shake it up (it mixes well) and drink from the bottle (no smells that way). Yum, 23 grams of protein and 90 calories, 0 carbs and 0 fat.
I've heard a lot of things about caffeine ... some docs say never, some docs say not for the first month, three months, etc. Some say that if you take in 8 oz of caffeinated, you need 16 oz of liquid to make UP for the caffeine... so if you normally have to drink 64 oz, you get 64 oz in, then 8 oz of coffee, and then 16 more oz of additional liquid... some say that it stimulates cortisol and production of fat-enhancing chemicals in the body and/or slows down weight loss.
Wish things were easy in this world!
