My precious premier protein drinks :(



Recommended Posts

I think I have to stop them for a few days. :(. I think my tummy doesn't like them yet. They do feel heavier and that doesn't bother me so much but sleevy just grumbles and rumbles and tries a temper tantrum. :(

Or maybe I'll do only one a day (I don't even drink the whole thing) and see if that makes it better. Sigh, I'm not sure what to do.

I love my drinks and I like feeling like I actually ate something. Woe is me

Edit to add: I'm 1 week out today, started them on day 5. Had permission to start them day 4.

The chicken broth powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury does NOT tickle my fancy and the unflavored, I add a TINY amt to my G2. I don't need to go getting weak. I has stuffs to do.

I love them too but sometimes they have that effect on me too. I have one a day now where I would do two to three a day pre op. My NUT use to say I was on the liquid diet way before I needed to be but I love premier! am 14 weeks post op. now and stick to one in the am because more mean tummy trouble. I have found drinking them slow helps a bit so I tend to have a long Breakfast with one.

Yesterday I did do a premier and Danon Light Greek Yogurt strawberry flavor in the blender. I was not going to be home for the am snack so was trying to get it in because I sometimes come in to low on calories. My Doc wants 1100-1200 I struggle to stay above 800 because I eat low carb/low fat and high Protein healthy that type of food fills the sleeve and you do not want as much. So any way that was like a chocolate strawberry milkshake and was delicious. I wanted every drop but couldn't quite finish it. Delicious!

I'm 10 days out and I have 2 a day. Yea, I get a bit of grumbling... but it goes down and stays down ok. I simply try to drink those a bit slower.

I'll drink one slower today.

Do you guys know if nuking the chocolate for 30 seconds could "kill" the Protein? I like my warm chocolate. :D

Hi Amy

I just bought premier Protein too. But I'm going have to stop or maybe take one per day. im having the same problem. So I ordered unjury chicken flavored Protein to go in my Soups. And I will get some more Isopure . My new sleeve tolerated the Isopure. I didn't expect the reaction to premier. Its too sweet tasting too for me, In my opinion.

Before surgery I tolerated them.

Best of Luck

My sleeve did not like them until 4 weeks out. Now no rumbling or heavy feeling. Give it a few weeks.

Try adding skim milk or coffee to thin them.

I have been having one every morning, today it didn't want to go down. I did half and the waited about 30 minutes and finished. It was gagging me every time I swallowed. I was wondering if something changes from my last box to this one.

No coffee, how about milk or soy mik which both are high in Protein.< /p>

I developed this problem at about three weeks out too Amy. No reason for it specifically... they go down fine and stay but "temper tantrum" is right. I could not handle it. I've got to find a solution for the problem too because I cannot simply eat enough protien in the day. I hope it resolves for you soon!

I started drinking Premier Protein 2 weeks post surgery. I still have a hard time sucking one down. They are the best tasting I've had, and the smaller size is great, but, it feels heavy sometimes.

I'm about 12 weeks out, and I drink one every day for Breakfast. I didn't find them till I was about 3 weeks out, and it was the only type I could stand. Tried lots of other stuff, and just couldn't tolerate it. Everything was SO sweet tasting. I will say that hus subsided now, and mostly everything tastes "right" now.

Those shakes are good and economical, so I do hope you can tolerate them again!

      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.
