Protein coffee...I finally have one!
Hi all - at almost seven months out I am still quite dedicated to plan. I don't stray and haven't allowed myself even a bite of dessert. That being said, I introduced coffee back into my diet pretty early out! I have tried every possible way to make protein coffee. Various brands like click and javapro, mixing it lukewarm/cool/hot, shaker bottles and whisks. But I could never get it to wor****il today!!! Someone on here recommended Chike high protein iced coffee. 10 Oz of cold water in a shaker bottle with 2 scoops and NO CLUMPS! And it tastes like a sweet iced coffee. I should freaking buy stock in this company because I can tell this is going to be a new daily beverage!
I also weighed myself today before getting dressed for the gym (yeah I barely recognize myself) and I'm down 150 lbs. My initial goal is 50 more lbs but I think I am going to revise that down by 15 lbs. What once seemed impossible now seems attainable. Thanks to all of you and your support and advice!
I'm feeling pretty euphoric except when I look at my flat sagging booty! What happened back there?! Lol
I bought and tried the click coffee but really did not like it much.
I used regular good chocolate protein powder - mixed with some water - blended really well and added to my coffee instead of sweeteners or creamer. Loved that.

I love Chike Iced Coffee... comes in regular and Mocha (Chike Mocha is only available via phone orders right now) Good stuff. I love it turned into a frappucino-type drink in the blender http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-day -in-my-pouch.html It's nice that it's whey protein too.
LOL on the booty... same here, gone and ouch... not a chair I can sit on for very long.
Hey Shelly! Your blog has been a GODSEND for me through this process! I love your meal ideas and of course your loss and maintenance is amazing. I may have to give Chike Mocha a try too. I got this canister on Amazon with two day shipping. So easy and convenient!
Thanks for continuing to give us ideas and pics on your blog. I swear I read every single page in your site when I was pre-op. Your meal ideas and substitutions helped me believe I could do this!
Awww thank you for the kind compliment. I am glad it helped. The Chike Mocha is really yummy. A slight chocolate flavor to the original, slightly sweeter I think. It really is better than anything at Bux. I am thankful for them on HOTTER THAN YOU KNOW WHAT days like we have here in the valleys of SoCal. 100 degrees I make one of those and my body cools down right away.
I like all the coffee proteins in their own way... it's an individual taste thing really... some are stronger, some lighter, yeah I think the bonus with Chike is its whey protein... or with the others do 1 scoop into a scoop of chocolate whey or something. It would be fun if you can get WLS friends together (or at a support group meeting) and do a coffee protein sampling. Anyway... thank you for the sweet words.
