I'm sure I am not the first to come up with this - but oh it is so good...

2 cups ho****er
2 T decaf instant (adjust to your desire for weakness/strength)
1/4 c dry skim milk
1 packet of woneder slim protein hot chocolate

21g of protein yum!!!!

One question - do protein drinks count towards daily liquid?

Wondered where the pertinent peppermint was?!

If protein drinks don't count towards my daily liquid, I'd probably be getting zero oz most days

I'm home one more week, but I really think I'll be good to return to work on next Monday

Glad I didn't try to do it today. Probably could have, but seemed too soon.

Oh, and my cats caught a BAT

so now the dept. of Health has to come get the corpse to test it to see if it has rabies!

how so?

There is no sugar - except for the milk part. The cool whip is sugar free and so is the hot chocolate and syrup.

the milk has a lot.

2 cups ho****er
2 T decaf instant (adjust to your desire for weakness/strength)
1/4 c dry skim milk
1 packet of woneder slim protein hot chocolate

OK so we have:
1/4 cup of dry milk... = 2 oz = 4 Tbs... app 90 cal, 8 gr proteins, 12 gr sugar
woneder slim protein hot chocolate - the info I found showed 6 gr carbs, 3 gr sugar

That adds to a liquid 15 gr of sugar per serving, and 17gr net carbs. with 18 gr of protein. (10 + 8 from milk).
That's way more than my body could take.

The drink may be great but with carbs to protein ratio almost 1:1, and most carbs are sugars... even natural... that's just too much carbs - sugars, not enough proteins for me...

My doc wants me to get in 60 ounces of water no matter if I drink protein or other drinks. Just because he said the body has such a hard time right now breaking down all the chemicals, etc., in different types of foods and drinks, especially things like Crystal Light.

hmmm... I had no problem drinking plain water before the surgery. Post op - I could not drink plain water, except maybe a few sips. Still can't. I need it flavored. Or it hurts.. cause the pouch to cramp.
