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?!?

      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.
