Liquid diet - questions about protein shakes

Hi Sleevers quick question about protein.  I am trying out different types of protein now and I was wondering what do you guys mix it with usually?? I tried a protein shake with water yesterday (some Jillian Michaels crap) and it was horrible, the today I tried some Unjury with almond milk and it was delish.  I'm thinking the difference is probably the quality of the protein, but is it ok to use milk with my shakes? Also, on my liquid diet, can I mix things into my shakes, like fruit or peanut butter?? My doctor's instructions really arent that detailed...

If you are on the pre-op diet yes you can mix stuff in. And you can use milk, soy , almond , rice etc... After surgery you have to wait a bit before mixing stuff in.

Hi. I'm a week post op and for my shakes, I sometimes use all water, all skim milk or half of each. Sometimes I add 1T of PB2. This is a powdered peanut butter. Waaaaaay less calories and fat. And it gives your shake a twist. Good luck!

Oooh...where do you find PB2?

Hi. I've not been able to find it in-store, but on amazon. Just google PB2 and it should come up with all sorts of info, including nutritional info. It also comes is chocolate pb, too!!

Thanks for the idea, Texas!! Just ordered some.

 I have had some fun with shakes: I have added pb but be careful of fat, you can add banana/banana low fat yogurt, sugar free/fat free pudding mix (butterscotch/pistacio yum!), fruit, ice to make it like a frosty...and of couse lots of protien powder!

Hi! Do you put the pudding mix in unflavored or vanilla protein powder? I have a tub of unflavored but haven't decided what to add to it.

 Hi fellow 11/7 er- I use vanilla and unflavored protein powder... maybe  only use 1/2 pack of sf/ff pudding because it will be thick...but delicious!

I have been on my Pre-Opt diet for 2 week.  Today is the last day YEAH!  Which means surgery is TOMORROW!!  I have been drinking the Chocolate Milkshake flavor of Oh Yeah.  You can get them at GNC.  32g of Protein, 9g of fat, and only 3g of sugar.  They are so yummy!.  SO yummy that I dont add anything to them except ice to make them like a frosty.   Hope this helps and good luck!
