Question About Premiere Shakes



Recommended Posts

So I have the RTD shakes from costco. Pre-op they were a breeze to get down because I drank them through a straw. Now I'm post-op and I pour them in a cup. They are so thick and clumpy it grosses me out and I can't get them down. They have like these big white flakes in them. Is this normal or did I get a bad batch?

I only had flakes in the vanilla but drank them anyway. I agree, post-op they seemed thicker. Pour them over ice and let it melt a bit, that seemed to help, and sometimes I used to thin them with a little skim milk.

Thanks, that's a good idea. I will try thinning them out with milk. Adds more Protein for a bonus :)

You want to make sure you are mixing enough milk or Water. They shouldn't be clumpy. Try using a blender maybe? They ALWAYS taste better with skim milk! You can also try the premier drinks. They sell them at Sams and costco as well, and they're Ready-to-drink

The shakes I was referring to are ready to drink from costco. They just were harder to tolerate for me post-op. I just settled on some nectar mixed with Water.

I used the Premier RTD shakes from costco and never had clumps? How weird. I have tried the Muscle Milk ones now and they are much smoother, but a little on the sweet side for me.

Well I guess they are not really clumpy. I used to drink them out of a straw. But when I pour them into a cup it does not come out smooth and I can see little flakes. It grosses me out.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
