What do you mix your protein mix with?
I am 5 1/2 years post op, so I am probably a little 'different' in that I do still use protein drinks/mixes, but inititally my surgeon said use WATER .. not milk, so as not to add the additional calories in milk.
I make a shake each a.m. using 2 cups of water, 1/3 cup dry skim milk, my protein powder, instant decaf coffee, a couple of equals, some SF DaVinci syrup. After I mix it up, I pour it over ice and have an iced coffee drink.
I add the powdered skim milk now to get some additional calcium because I'm not so good at taking my calcium supplements. The milk also adds some protein.
Best wishes on your WLS journey.

Comparison is the thief of joy!
If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
