Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 , here is my recipie I usually follow. 1 yogurt, 2 scoops of protein and 8-16 oz of water (pouring in anything over 8 oz slowly. For my protein shake it is 4oz of liquid to each scoop). I usually add orange juice or crystal light depending on the kind of shake I want. I also add ice and frozen fruit. I can usually sip on two 16 oz glass out of all of that over an 45 - hour time or so. Sometimes I don't use yogurt at all. I hope this helps some. jrmcswain2000 jrmcswain2000@...> wrote: Am I to drink the protein shakes in 8 oz or more or less?? LOL I'm assuming 8 oz, however I HAVE to mix it with something. I'm still trying to figure out what to mix it with. I bought lots of different sugar free puddings, jellos and crystal light flavor drink packets (walmart brand). I also bought some yogurt to add the stuff to. Lets say I have on container of yogurt do I mix the protein powder in that or still mix it with water and how much protein powder do I add to the yogurt? The protein powder is Matrix Vanilla. I'm so confused, please help. LOL Thanks!!!!!!!! Lap RNY (1-11-07) 318/??/170-150 __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I usually just mix mine w/ 8 oz of water & a couple of ice cubes. Others mix it w/ soy milk, regular milk, crystal light. Be creative & you'll find a combination you like. :-) W 380/254/160 jrmcswain2000 wrote: > Am I to drink the protein shakes in 8 oz or more or less??

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I will have open RNY on Jan. 9th. My dietician says to mix one packet of no sugar added Carnation Instant Breakfast with 1/3 cup nonfat dry milk and 8 oz. skim milk. That is a meal with 20g of protein. Also, you can mix protein powder (25g of protein) with one package of fat free, sugar free instant pudding and 2 cups of skim milk for a high protein pudding snack. She said low fat or fat free cottage cheese is also an acceptable high protein snack. She suggested Genisoy Natural Protein Powder, but I got the unsweetened, unflavored soy protein powder from GNC. Many folks in my surgeon's support group take a protein powder called Unjury. I haven't tried it, but they all swear by it. I guess you can order it from www.unjury.com. Good luck! --- jrmcswain2000 jrmcswain2000@...> wrote: > Am I to drink the protein shakes in 8 oz or more or > less?? LOL I'm > assuming 8 oz, however I HAVE to mix it with > something.
