Tried A New Protein Drink Today



Recommended Posts

I am not a Protein drink drinker. Even in my Clear liquid phases I drank Instant Breakfast. Couldn't stomach the thought of a Protein shake. (doing Optifast 20 years ago made me nauseas just thinking of Protein shakes)

BUT-I was at costco today and they were sampling both the chocolate and vanilla Premier canned protein drinks- 30 grams of protein, about 180 calories, 1 gr sugar $24 for 18 cans.

I was actually able to swallow it! Both flavors! Didn't notice any protein aftertaste. The vanilla had a faint coconut flavor-but it was nice.

If I had to do Protein shakes ever again I would definitly go with these.

And with costco, if you buy the case, try one and don't like it-You can return the remainder of the case and they will refund all of your money.

I totally agree - I tried about 5 different kinds of Protein Shakes prior to surgery and the ones from costco were by far my favorite! Haven't tried the vanilla ones, I'm happy with the chocolate :) I also mix in a 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt to my shakes to get an additional 11.5g of Protein. Plus a half banana just because I love bananas! Yummy!

Yes, the Premeir shakes are the best I've tried all around. I have been espousing their awesomeness on the board for quite some time.

I'm almost 7 months out and have at least one a day.

Congrats on finding what works for you.

Does anyone know if you can get the shakes anywhere else besides costco?

You can also get the shakes at Sams Club...at least the chocolate ones. Price in Bama is 17.88 for a 12 pack. You can order them online too but they are more on their website at www.premiernutrition.com. I agree with everyone else these shakes are the best!!!

I agree with all they are my favorite by far. My hubby thinks they taste a lot like a little thicker chocolate milk he does low carb and has lost 40 lbs. They are a part of our regular pantry items and will be forever.

I thought they were specific to costco ShoeLover, I just found them on-line but they are a little more expensive $28 a case.

Yeah for premier!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
