Ready to Drink Protein Shakes



Recommended Posts

I'm still pre but I should be having my procedure in September. I wanted to get Premier from costco while it's on sale but I've heard that your taste changes after surgery. I worry if I like them now, I may not like them after my surgery.

I was drinking Premier Protein before surgery and now after. They are by far the best. My taste buds have not changed that much. I know everyone is different.

I agree with all above. The Premier Protein are good and you can purchase it at Walmart. I like the ability to close them with the cap. If you want another option.... optisource made by Nestle is another great option. They come in small boxes. They have 24 grams of Protein in 8 ounces. They are shelf stable and taste the best when cold or over ice or even blended. They have different flavors strawberry, & Caramel (both are delicious) I have tried both. I really like the Caramel flavor, it tastes like a caramel shake. https://www.nestlehealthscience.us/brands/optisource/optisource-vhp-drink-hcp

I like the premier chocolate and the Oh Yeah Cookies and cream. The calorie count is a bit higher on the Oh Yeah shakes but the Protein count is fairly high, 32 grams I think, and the cookies and cream flavor is quite tasty. My whole family, including the 7 year old, likes them.

Every time I tell the diet tech at my surgeon's office that the Protein shake I use is Premier Protein, she always says "Oh Good! I love to hear that!"

I personally didn't care much for the strawberry. The chocolate was okay. The vanilla is just right... not too sweet, not chalky, not bland. Hmmmm.... maybe I am goldilocks?!?

      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.

        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.

      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!
