Nothing from the surgeons office but pain killers, nausea medicine, heart burn medicine. I bought my Vitamins at Wholefoods, I knew they would have a liquid version. I bough my shakes at costco, the premiere pre-made ones, and some powder so I could ad skim milk foe extra Protein and I could use less liquid, that way I could get 27g of protein in 6oz instead of 30g in 11oz in the pre-made. I bought a ton of different flavored Protein Drinks and shots from The Vitamin Shoppe and didn't like any of them. So I'm sticking to the Costco stuff. Good luck.

From what I gather she is buying two different protein drinks. One is a powder form with 27g of protein that needs to be mixed with a liquid of your choice. She chose to add 6oz of skim milk. The other protein is a pre-made ready to drink shake called premier.

The premier drink is premixed with 11oz of liquid and the powder form can be mixed with however much you desire.

The pre-made ones are 11oz. I also bought this huge bag of Protein Powder and with that you add 1 scoop to 6-8oz of Water or milk. So for the last 2 weeks I've been mostly using the powder so I had more control over how much I was having to drink. Hope this makes more sense. :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
