[deepblueyes28]

[MistyCain77]

This was very helpful I am 6 weeks post op and having a hard time with the shakes. Any other advise is appreciated. I love watching your videos.

[ANEWRACH2011]

thanks for sharing i love coffee is it decafe?

[sasiaman]

Hey..I love protein too but buy natural protein with no sweetners,..Please check your Ingredians...it has artifficial sweetner, acesulfame potassium known as Ace K...which is really bad for you.

[IamKris411]

Hi Amelia,

I watched this video back like ....I dunno over a year ago, and now I'm actually about a week pre-op, and I am trying different things with my protein now... so I was wondering, you said in your ''stuff I still use...'' video - that you used the coffee creamer... I noticed you didn't put any in this shake, did you put coffee creamer in your shake back then? or just when you drink coffee? ?

[blakkandi]

I made this shake yesterday it was outstanding !!!!!

[FrogsRFriendsNotFood]

Thank you so much for this recipe!

[sapiazza]

OMG!!! I made this shake it is DELICIOUS! I'm 4 days post op and was HATING me protein shake until I tried this one. Thank you Emila!! Please keep the tips coming I could really use them!

[hipretty]

Isn't a serving size of EAS proteins 2 scoops? Could'a sworn!

[lovekillsbeware]

[massagegoddess]

YOU MUST GO TO THE DOCTOR...that is what happened to me when I nearly died back in Feb. Take this seriously

[Yemeniflash]

wow iam seeing my doctor thursday - you almost died?! what happened send me a private message if you like

[flowerpeace1]

@massagegoddess do you mind if I ask wut happen because I'm 1 weeks post op I just want to keep a close eye on myself. Did you have leakage , it would mean a lot tk you. I would like to also let you know I have learned more from your videos then any one else you really have given some good advice and I love my baby spoons they have saved my life tks.

[kemscom]

Is the coffee decaf? I am 4 months post and was told I had to use decaf.

Thanks

Kathleen

[massagegoddess]

Every surgeon is different, Mine said as long as my blood pressure was good I could have regular coffee. I have had no problems with regular coffee...

[Kellawanda]

I realized the air was in there after blending but I never thought about what it might be doing to my stomach....makes sense to wait and let the air out.

[hockeyguy10101010]

want a real good protein shake ?

mix 1.5 cups of orange juice'

one scoop of STRAWBERRY protein

one half of a banana

a couple ice cubes

and you have a delicious protein shake !

[jenn198310]

hi amelia where did u get that freeze thing from. are those available in walmart. or save on foods

[esexymom38]

go tip i am wirighting everything down so i can try it before my surgy. to see what i like. looking forward in looking at more of your ricpe video

[lena650]

they say your taste buds change after surgery. When I heard of this I flipped, I bought alot of protein shake stuff, and I love coffee. I sooooo hope I still do post op.

[brizzx32]

Hello Amellia, I have been starting my own Protein shakes. And I have noticed that every time I drink one I loose like 1/2 to a whole pound everytime.

[Alysprettyrad]

a good tip is to dissolve the instant coffee powder in about 2 tbsp hot water

[Ricangal]

I recently purchased the GNC Whey protein and it has a chemical taste to it. (Am returning it). Does the EAS have a odd taste?

[massagegoddess]

I LOVE the EAS whey protein powder in vanilla it tastes very good to me

[FachoFachoso]

@massagegoddess It does have anabolics or something like that? Or is natural¿

[hrzstarr]

Where do you get your POM tea from?

[GnomieBear]

this shake sounds great! I didn't even have GB. I could use it though LOL.

[Keyper81]

Hi Amelia, I'm really loving your videos. I got one of those shaker cups at my local GNC but they didn't have the little freezer things. Did you get that at GNC too? I couldn't find it on their website either. Thanks!

[FrogsRFriendsNotFood]

i can't wait to try this. thanks!

[SarahWillBeSkinny]

LMFAO I just tried making this shake this morning... but I was trying to make it from memory. Had only watched the video once, a couple of weeks ago. So I bought the stuff and tried it this morning, but couldn't remember how much coffee went in there. So I poured some in, but it was WAYYYY more than a teaspoon. And the flakes would NOT go away. LOL It was horrible!! So I'm gonna try again tomorrow. LOL

[Janiethegeek]

Hey amelia. Is that vanilla protein or unflavoured?

[massagegoddess]

Vanilla! super yummy with the instant coffee and super easy

[canvasguy]

That looks really tasty i have to try that LOL i am also a coffee lover my self i mix my protein shakes every day in the blender...

[sebulva]

perfect video, great great great idea..

xoxo

[shawna4change]

I would think this would not be sweet enough for me but I don't know Is it bland?

[massagegoddess]

not bland... quite good. You could add 1 packet od artificial sweetner if you need to

[melitriotcancan]

om freaking g amelia! i just made that today because i saw this video i went out and bought the instant coffee stuff! omgomgomgomgomgomg!!!!! best drink in the world! it tastes just like a starbucks frappicino! you are awesome! how'd you figure out to make it taste like starbucks? did you experiment alittle before you found out or what? i wouldn't be that smart lol. Thanks again for vid. I'm set for life now. I'm never going to starbucks again!

[number78ball]

lol just a fast question was that a dog or car that ran by at 3.34 ?

[pinkcupcake666]

i love coffee and its so hard for me to drink my protien shakes its like torture i cant wait to try this thanks!

[PogoFogo]

Dose Any One Out There Use

Casein Instead Of Whey ?

[banooja]

Ahahaha

Pause at 1:41!! LMFAO!!

HAHAH!!

lol great Video btw :)..xxx

xx

[wvphotogirl]

I am 1.5 weeks post op and have been freakin' out on how I will get all my protein in with such a little pouch. I made this and it is WONDERFUL!!

[allforliving]

Yum I'm gonna try it soooon!

[dahnby]

Why do you have to drink a protein shake every day???

Is it because it's difficult to get the necessary amount of protein from just eating meants and beans???

Does it have to do with the hair loss?

[massagegoddess]

It has half my day's protein, It is difficult to get in all the 60 grams of protein a day with just food.

Protein does help with hair loss, but mostly it is so we don't lose muscle mass while losing weight, so that we lose fat.

[omsata]

60 grams? gee.. i take like 220g daily and only 20 of them come from my protein shake..

heres an example.. a can of tuna got like 25~ grams of protein in it, cottage (an entire cottage.. duh) has like 25 also, you can get a 0.5% or something like that and add some olive oil in it and eat it with a cucumber so it tastes pretty good, turkey breast got another 25~g of protein for 100g

only 3 examples and wow.. thats 75grams of almost fat and carb free protein sources (and its full protein..)

[qxtroidinare]

hey Amelia, (hope i spelled that right)

Nice, I'm going to try this.

Also, my doctor who put me on the all protein shake diet for two weeks prior to surgery has us double the scoop of Protein Whey to the regular 8oz... so help double the amount of protein grams in a smaller amount of liquid. Of course though it makes it really thick, sort of like the consistancy of a milkshake, but it helps double that protein intake without having to drink much.

hope you try it out.

[rq99]

thanks for sharing!!! i hate drinking protein shakes and this is a great recipe!

[ladyjwb]

plase share the brand of that blender! 'm scheduled for srgery on the 29th and will b runnng to Walmart tommorrow to that bleder . Love all your videoa and thanks to you you have made my shopping list much easier.

Thanks Again!

[massagegoddess]

Hamilton Beach Single Serve Blender With Travel Lid

[LOLACOLT]

What about blending the shake with some crushed ice? Does it not help with the foaming? I never see any post-op using ice... is it bad? I am waiting to get my wls but I already began to drink a protein shake in the morning and I always put ice in the blender... is it a bad idea?

[massagegoddess]

It would make it foamy for sure. I blend it and then let it sit till it is liquid. Why add water to it? Our pouch is small, we don't need MORE to drink. Pre-op you can have all the air and ice you want, post-op you have new circumstances. Maybe you'll be differnt, I think there may be some who do the ice thing, but personally I don't really want ice.

[tessabianca]

Instead of the lactose free milk and protein powder, I use the EAS ready to drink shakes. One shake makes 2 drinks. It doesn't get that much air because you're not using the powder. I put in:

1/2 small banana chopped up,

3-5 ice cubes

half the shake.

Blend and enjoy!

I love Pom Tea too. I use the Pom tea glasses all the time :)

[massagegoddess]

ready made drinks are cool, but pricey for me. I get that HUGE bag of powder for like 30 dollars. But cool idea, good for traveling!

[lookingforward73]

Hey amelia - what's your take on caffeine? I'm supposed to do decaf, but I have done some drinks with caf. It hasn't bothered me, but I guess it's hard on the pouch? Anyway, got the stuff for this shake (decaf) and I'm off to try it!

[massagegoddess]

My surgeon said as long as my blood pressure is good and i am healthy i can have caffiene. BUT you should listen to your surgeon. I have had no ill effects from it.

[jonymx]

why u drink dat evry day???

thinking will get u lose weight? O_O

[massagegoddess]

Um yeah, I have had gastric bypass surgery and I need 60 grams of protein a day and i can't eat enough food to get all my protein. My stomach is the size of and egg, and yes as of this morning I have lost 113 pounds in less than 6 months so I guess it is working no?

[winelover215]

As an FYI for everyone ... I don't have time to make one of these every morning much less wait for the foam to subside. Last week I made a 5 serving batch in a blender and then put it in container in the fridge. All the foam when down and I did a little swirl. Then each day last week I poured out my 8oz portion! It was great and made for a fast exit from the house in the morning! YUM. Tom

[papillon3344]

as an FYI to winelover215, i dont think that the benefits stay when u do it that much in advance, unless u freeze it.

[winelover215]

"i dont think that the benefits stay" ... I guess you think the protein degrades? What do you base that on? I've not been able to find anything to support that statement. Do you have a link? I wouldn't want think I was getting protein and I wasn't. Thanks.

[massagegoddess]

I have been making the shakes up in advance and putting like 5 in the fridge individually made and they have been fine, better than fine

[joshv89]

Hi,

Do you know if protein shakes have any negative side effects? thx

[massagegoddess]

I haven't had any....

[joshv89]

ok thx, well if you get sick or ill i will be prepared for it lol

[massagegoddess]

Why would I get sick or ill? It is preventing me from being protien deficient?

[xnadax28]

is the protein powder flavored? i just want to make sure i buy the right one.

[massagegoddess]

I use Vanilla EAS Whey Protein. It is cheap at Sam's Club or BJ's warehouse club 6 lbs for 29.99 !

[ziggy42scoop]

where did you get the blender from..?

[massagegoddess]

Walmart!!

[losingit4now]

I made this drink this morning with the same blender and hazelnut cofee you suggested. It was awesome! I'll be drinking this every morning, now too. Thanks for the great idea!

[massagegoddess]

yeah! It is so good and I still look forward to it even 4 months later!

[losingit4now]

How long after my surgery do you think I should wait before I include the hazelnut coffee? I'm using it preop, but I noticed on your blogs you did just the vanilla post surgery initially. They say you shouldn't consume caffeine for a while. Any suggestions?

[massagegoddess]

I started a few weeks after surgery, maybe wait a month...

[yulkaniam]

Hi Amelia Im two weeks pre-op and I have been watching your videos in you tube I think their great and wanted to ask you could you show us more recipes cause the last one was pretty good.

[massagegoddess]

I made 2 more one for chili and one for balckbeans with all the steps.. I need to splice them into videos.. Look for them this week ok?

[massagegoddess]

Enjoy! it is was yummy. Thanks *blush*

[KarlaKayM]

I am going to try that EAS protein powder....I love using instant coffee in my shakes but I will definately try the hazelnut kind YUMMY! You look great BTW!!!!! :-)

[massagegoddess]

Thanks!! The hazelnut instant coffee is a great way to add flavor without adding calories. Also keeps you from having too many different flavors at once, sometimes they clash if you go nuts

[itcomputerchick]

What a great video :) looks yummy gotta try the POM juice too :)

Hugs,

Melissa

=)

[massagegoddess]

Warning! you will be addicted!!! Enjoy!

[cschorback]

Thank you soooooo much for the recipe! I made one like it tonight! I couldn't taste the whey in it! It was awesome, awesome, awesome! Love it! Thank you again!!! You rock, Amelia!

-Carissa

[massagegoddess]

So glad I could help! I do look forward to my shake, and it makes me hit my protein goal everyday

[Julsinmaine101]

Hi Amelia! Thanks for showing how you make your shake:)Im gonna try it as well...I love Hazelnut!yum~

[shrinkinsissy]

Looks yummy! Can't wait to try it, thanks!

[dubaigaygirl]

have u tried it with ice chips or ice cubes.

would that reduce the bubble factor, ice?

and great shake by the way!

[massagegoddess]

ice would make it fluffy and bad for me. I need it to have no air and not take up a lot of space in my little pouch

[bratlee2u]

Thank for the video. I am starting my preop diet Monday and this is a recipe I will definitly try.

[HeavenSlut07]

Is it normal for people in America to drink Protein shakes?? Looks nice :)

[massagegoddess]

Dunno, mostly weight lifters do

[kiedrowtoboggan]

Hi Amelia..So I was wondering...I'm about 6 weeks pre op..I was thinking about starting the shakes now. What do you think? I made one the other day, and I COULD NOT stop going to the bathroom..lol...common? Thanks for this video by the way.. Looks YUMMY...Adam

[massagegoddess]

sounds like too much sugar.. Did you use regular milk? You could be lactose intolorant now. That would give you the runs for sure

[es1683]

nice! smoothie looks good - thanks for the call, i did make it home safe and have been busy and having fun visiting with everyone. haven't even been on the computer til now and it's 2:30 in the morning :P see ya next week and have a fun weekend!

[winelover215]

Thanks for the idea Amelia. I wonder if you made up some of the instant coffee w/hot water ahead (strong mix) and stored in the fridge ... then just use the shaker instead of the blender. No waiting since it doesn't incorporate as much air? I have those shakers, got 3 for 15 on Amazon and they rock. And the EAS from SAMS is such a deal. 6lbs for 28. bucks! I recently bought a few bags to have on hand. It dissolves really great in milk or water. I'll give this a try! Thanks again.

[massagegoddess]

Sounds good to me!!

[jazzed04]

OMG Love the Info, I live 4 Starbucks thank you so much, I just didn't know what I was going to do, now I do, I quit smoking but can't give up my Frapachino and this will be the closest thing to Starbucks...Love your kitchen so brite and cheery. Again thank you so so much Amelia..Chris

[massagegoddess]

My whole house is bright and colorful like that! I love it. Thanks! And yeah that shake rocks. It will keep overnight too if you need to make it ahead of time to hit the road in the morning.

[redvertgirl]

I'm so glad you did the video because I was gonna email you to find out how you made it! I'm going in for surgery on Monday and I'm a HUGE coffee addict! How soon after surgery were you able to start drinking this?

[massagegoddess]

whithin 6 days or so, definately need to let the bubbles break up for sure in the beginning

[meltingmamamelted]

Just thinking, too.. to make it more like a real frap, add ice, unsweetened chocolate powder and splenda...

[massagegoddess]

I refuse to eat splenda whenever I can avoid it. Very bad for you. But yes, that does sound good and creative!

[meltingmamamelted]

What's the EAS sweetened with?

[massagegoddess]

I looked, it has Splenda, I can't taste the Splenda thank goodness, I normally can taste the Splenda and hate it. I know everyone has their own tastes... if you like it then enjoy! I have been hearing negative things about it though...

[meltingmamamelted]

Everything is backwards. It's making me dyslexic.

[massagegoddess]

LOL, yeah I needed to have mirror on, but I don't always like that effect, that is why i read everything out loud.

[MissToxicLove]

I have the same blender except its black.

I used to have a big glass one, but I gave

to my mom ,and bought a smaller one.

Its soooo awesome cuz I only need that size,plastic so no chance of breaking it,

and love how you can use it as a cup too:)

[DeniseNJ37]

I cannot find the instant coffee anywhere. I tried three supermarkets, can you suggest who might have it?

[massagegoddess]

I have bought it at walmart before...

[DeniseNJ37]

DAm, the walmart here does not sell it

[massagegoddess]

Keep your eyes peeled for it, you will probably find it. Try Walgreens too

[youwantgeek]

I found some at K Mart.

[Purplerose7030]

looks great i've been doing that since before surgery with the instant coffee and a good vanilla base it is great.. and you can get some of the sf davinci syrups too to have some variety.

[divataunia]

I got that same blender because of one of your ealier videos....adn I love it, so thank you!

[massagegoddess]

So glad you find it helpful. I can't live without it! I take it everywhere I go. Perfect for travel. You can see I have a blue rubber band on it near the button because I ude it to hold the cord wrapped around the blender to keep it neat.
