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?!?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
