Someone pat me on the back!!

I promised myself (and the board) that this week I would do things right... I would get my protein, vitamins, water, and exercise in.. The past couple weeks have been horrible for me!! Well today Ive been on a great start.. I already have 51g of protein in!! I started the day with a protein shake and then moved on to crystal light with protein added.. So today I will get my 80g of protein!! I remembered the vitamins this morning!! Ive done a mile on the treadmill!! Im working on my water intake!! So Im keeping my promise!! Now if I can just find a shake that doenst make me gag!!! Amber

Great job Amber! Keep it up. You will feel the rewards! My favorite shake is one I make myself. I use 1 cup of plain nonfat yogurt, 1/4 frozen blueberries, 1/3 frozen banana, 1 scoop of Isopure no carb vanilla protein powder (I get if from GNC) 1 tablespoon of frozen oj concentrate and then I add some splenda. I blend it all up and get tons of protein and the super food of blueberries and it tastes great too! Lori

DANG AMBER, I AM SO PROUD OF YA. IF I WAS THERE ID PAT YA ON THE BACK TILL YA THOUGHT I WAS BURPIN YA. LOL. THAT IS GREAT TO HAVE THAT PROTEIN IN. I KNOW ITS HARD ON YA. ILL FIND OUT SOON ENOUGH . SO HANG IN THERE AND GET ALL YOU CAN IN AND DONT BEAT YOURSELF UP SO MUCH. HUGS MARGARET

Have you tried fortified milk with suger free carnation instant breakfast? While I was doing my liquid diet (before my surgery was cancelled), I could not get those shakes down, and I tried many brands. So I called my Dr office and they told me to make fortified milk and add the carnation. You add 1and 1/3 cup dry powdered milk to 1 quart skim milk, chill very well . Measure 8 oz of the fortified milk mixture then add one serving size of carnation. (either one packet or 1/4 cup of carnation, depending on if you use the canister or evelopes) It is kinda sweet, but does not taste at all like a protein shake. And the best part, is 20 grams of protein for an 8 oz serving. Just my humble little idea..... Vee
