I got a sample of chocolate Premier Protein from my surgeon yesterday at my pre-op and I just tried it and I really don't like the taste of it. It sort of tastes like it wants to be chocolate milk but it's not quite. What are your favorite tasting shakes (brand/flavor)??

Chike iced coffee and Chike chocolate bliss; Unjury chocolate splendor, Syntrax Nectar Cappuccino, Syntrax Matrix perfect chocolate, Syntrax Matrix mint cookie.

I mix my Protein Shakes with unsweetened vanilla cashew milk. If you are using powders, what you mix yours with can make a big difference.

No Protein Shake is ever going to taste like chocolate milk (Unjury chocolate splendor comes closest IMO). Look for something you can choke down fairly easily rather than something you "love."

I like Premier. I mix mine with ice and a few pieces of fruit. It's actually not bad at all.

I don't like the premier chocolate shake cold, but heated up it's like a hot chocolate and wonderful. I also drink the vanilla and strawberry premier shake. I buy it by the case at costco.

Right now strawberry is my favorite, but it wasn't when I first had my surgery three months ago. Sometimes the strawberry taste really sweet to me and the vanilla sometimes not sweet enough.

I've also tried GNC whey Protein powder brand of Cookies and cream and also their unflavored. I use the unflavored to add to other foods. The unflavored hasn't really changed the flavor of any foods. The Cookies and cream was OK, I may try to blend it up with ice but I did find that both of their Protein powders worked better if I use my stick blender vs my magic bullet. Using the magic bullet caused the powders to foam too much.

I have to have a Protein shake that is less than 5g fat, less than 10g carbs and at least 15g Protein. I want to be able to try them before I buy a case at Sam's club or costco. Where can I buy these? I have a GNC and Vitamin shoppe by me. No time to order online for the beginning stuff bc surgery is in 5 days

GNC let's you try them I believe. Walmart sells 4 packs of premier so you could try before buying whole case.

I did not like the Premier chocolate at all. I like Atkins a lot, although it isn't as high in Protein as Premier. The vanilla Premier is good, and I am drinking it plain and add Mio orange flavor to it. I have some strawberry EAS Advant Edge in the fridge, but I haven't tried it yet. I also have Syntrax nectar in Fuzzy Navel and Grapefruit on order.

You can get the Atkins at Walmart and the EAS Advant Edge at some Walmarts or at Target. The Syntrax nectar is sold at Vitamin Shoppe. Premier comes in a 4 pack at Walmart, so you could try the different flavors and see if you like those. Good luck!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
