Do you still......

Do protein shakes?  In a few weeks, I will be 4 years out and I STILL LOVE my protein shakes.  I use to do 2 a day.  Now, I don't do them as often, but I still love them.  I've done a lot of serching and I have found out that if you re-gain weight after WLS, if you'll kick up the water and protein shakes, you can lose EASIER and FASTER.  I gained 10 lbs but have lost them.  So, do you still do protein shakes? 

Here are a few protein shake pointers to those who don't like the taste of the shakes.....

1. Buy vanilla protein powder and add ANY type of sugar free pudding mix and add 2 boxes to your protein powder.  It will taste like your favorite pudding.

2.  Buy chocolate and add a box of chocolate sugar free pudding mix.

3.  Add your favorite fruit to your shake when you mix it in the blender. 

4.  Add your favorite sugar free syrup mix while you blend it.

I'm sure there are others who can give you a hint to make your shake better. 

Let's kick up the shakes and get our protein in FIRST!!  Before ANYTHING, PROTEIN COMES FIRST!!

Oh yeah...like you...I don't drink them as often now, but boy do I love them.  They are a treat to me. 

I am a bit funny about the protein drinks. the only one I have found I like is one I make myself. I use light and lively yogurt,plain protein powder, a spash of juice,crystal lite or some type liquid and some frozen strawberries. Into the magic bullet it goes and I am in heaven. Oh I add splenda. Hmmm think I may just go make one
Gina used to post some good recipes.

Good morning Randall!!

What a coinkeedink!!!  I just started on the protein drinks again this week.  I am drinking one for breakfast and one for lunch and it keeps me satisfied during the day at the office.  I had gotten into a bad habit of snacking on protein bars and was eating too many!!  Of course I don't do so well at home at night.  I'm fighting that night time snacking demon!!

I use chocolate Unjury, add skim milk (lactose free), a splash of SF Coconut syrup and a couple drops of almond extract...I call it my almond joy!!!  I used to put coconut milk in them when I was drinking them every morning but my cholestrol shot up sky high!!!  Duh...I didn't realize that coconut milk raised your cholestrol!!!

Anywhoo, I am back on the protein drinks and it is good for me at work because it keeps me from wanting to graze all day!

Thanks for another awesome coffee talk, I always read, but can't always post.  My boss just walked in so I'd better get back to work!!  I love you  and Lucy too!  Can hardly wait until September 27th!!!!
