Found 30g protein drinks



Recommended Posts

OK, I will be the first to say that I am not always on top of the lastest products, but today I found drinks at costco with 30g Protein, 5 carbs, and l60 calories. I am so excited, even though I am probably the last person on this forum to find this product. I will be sleeved in two days and am already planning what I will be eating. Gee, one would think I'm obsessed with FOOD..LOL

I have tried those and they are good but I don't know if you will be able to drink them right away. My dr. said no because I had to be able to get the Protein in abut 5 oz. of milk or Water and those are pre measured. It may take you too long in the beginning to get that in. I had to use 1 scoop/5oz. so I would get 25 grams in each drink.

What kind of drink is it? Is it Muscle Milk? Have you tasted Muscle Milk? I still don't get how people think that stuff tastes good, I thought it was pretty nasty. Whatever it is you found, you may want to buy a single one at the grocery before buying a case of it at Costco...plus your taste preference could change after surgery...mine didn't at all, but for some it does. Good luck with your surgery next week!

Premier Protein is the one. It is economical, you get 24 for $23.59. You can have 60grams of Protein (30 grams each) for a cost of just under $2.00 a day. Then I just eat dinner with my family. It is so easy as well. No mixing, just grab and go.

Premier is very popular on this board. I think Muscle Milk light tastes better. They are about the same price but the Premier does have 10 more grams of Protein per carton.

LOL...What is the name of the 30gm Protein product you found at costco? ...I've got a Costco about 3 miles from where I live.

It's Premier. It comes in a case of 24 and they are usually found in the pharmacy area. Hope you like it, cause you can't buy single ones.

Premier premade shakes are all I can get down right now. The powdered stuff I was able to drink BEFORE surgery, but now makes me gag. For some reason, these go down much easier. And since my Doc say 2 a day and one meal till I get the weight off.....I have a long road ahead of me for Protein shakes.< /p>

I have been using Premier since very early post-op. I didn't have any issues but everyone is different. You might try a few sips, see how it settles and then try a little more.

I used Atkins and Nutrilite pre-op and the taste is pretty similar; they only have 15 Protein tho.

Good Luck!

It's funny because I think Muscle Milk should be called Mucky Milk, just liike people call Isopure, ISOPUKE. That's why it's good to try these things to see what you can tolerate. I am fine with ISOPURE drinks, and PURE Protein 35 g frosty choclate shakes, but no, no, no for the Muscle Milk. Also, I find flavors i liked or dsiliked pre surgery, often changed post surgery. So, it gets down to findin what works for you.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
