Mudgy6 88 Posted August 27, 2016 I've been drinking the premier Protein vanilla. It got too sweet for me so switched to the chocolate. My stomach was fine with it for 2 days. Now it's a no go with that. It's just sitting in my stomach waiting to come up. I can't even drink my Water. I've tried the powder as well and that was a no go. I don't know what else to do.

Daenerys Targaryen 109 Posted August 27, 2016 When I first started the Premier shakes, I started with half a shake a couple times a day. That made it much easier to drink. Then after a couple weeks, I added a little more until I could comfortably drink the whole 11oz shake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cervidae 2,389 Posted August 27, 2016 You may want to try thinning the shake out with some milk. I use fair life whole milk, as it has less than half the sugar of regular milk and it's finely filtered. I usually do equal parts milk and shake (almost always chocolate) and that has always sat far better in my stomach. Hope this helps! It will get easier. Sorry you're having such a rough time with it right now. Hang in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djmohr 6,965 Posted August 28, 2016 Definately milk them down. In the beginning I would take 1/3 premier Protein shake and 2/3 either lactaid skim milk or fair life skim milk. Both are lactose free and will thin the shake out while still adding more Protein from the milks. I had to do this until I was about 8 weeks along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CharlotteKat 90 Posted September 2, 2016 I really got tired of the overly sweet, milky shakes and had to find a solution. I also got sick of the flavored Protein powders that were cloyingly sweet. You may want to try using unflavored Protein Powder mixed with Water and Crystal Light. I've had really good success with Isopure Unflavored whey Protein. The Crystal Light completely masks the taste of the powder. My go to shakes are Cherry Pomegranate Crystal Light or their Lemonade plus unflavored Protein Powder. I use 2 packets of Crystal Light On-the-Go, 1 scoop of Isopure and about 20 oz. of Water. Blending in frozen strawberries and blueberris is really tasty.

beezy8 41 Posted September 2, 2016 Everything is so much sweeter to me after my vsg. I got really sick of sweet shakes, too. My solution was unflavored Protein powder in chicken broth and other Soups mixed in the blender. It was so good to get away from sweet! Soon you will be able to eat other Proteins. Hang in there!
