Premiere shakes are NOT your best choice for this early out.

I do NOT do milk based shakes either... Get some Syntrax or unjury if possible- like the chicken broth and DEFINITELY get some UNFLAVORED whey Protein powder. You can add it to anything- yogurt, crystal light drinks- sky is the limit....

But you want and NEED a good 100% PURE whey Protein ISOLATE powder. It is your best bet for success. Those "protein blend" drinks are suspect. You don't know what percentage of what kind of protein you are actually getting.

I WISH they would stop recommending Premiere to people!!!!!!

If I'm doing a shake powder, it is usually the Syntrax Nectars. I've come to like caribbean cooler as its flavor is very mellow- just above neutral. I always add a half scoop of an unflavored powder to it, as well. Brings those 8 oz up to around 35g of whey isolate.

There is a RTD product called Protein2O that I love as well. Over 20g whey isolate in it as well. Flavors are EXCELLENT!!! And no whey -forward taste at all. Pretty clean flavors. Again, no milk to it which I prefer.

As for the unflavored...I really like Unjury, but it needs to be ordered, so I keep a stash of other brands at home to use if I run out.

I add it to anything I can- usually by the half- scoop. Works well in my Oikos Triple Zero yogurt!!! I'll add it to coffee, tea, you name it.

Hope that helps!!!

It does! Thank you. One more question...is there one site where I can purchase samples first instead of buying in bulk? I would hate to be stuck with it if the taste wasn't for me.

Don't know about specific sites that allow you to purchase single packs, but i DO know that the Vitamin Shoppe stores sell them for most brands- which, by the way, is exactly what I did when I first began this journey.

Good Luck to you. I'm 1 year 11 months post op. I weighed 410. Now I weigh 245. Walking will be easier when you lose more weight. I could barely walk a 1/2 mile. Now I walk 4-5 every day. I also lift weights at the gym 3 days a week. That has increased my metabolism & really has helped me. I eat grilled chicken & fish daily. Lots of vegetables & salads. No fast food, alcohol, fried food, sweets, bread, sodas, or Pasta. It's tough at first especially when you're used to double cheeseburgers & large fry. I don't miss that now. You get used to it & you will love the new you. I drink Premiere Protein shakes for my Breakfast for 2 years now. Drink whatever works for you. 1 year from now you'll be amazed at your results. I still have 45 lbs to go. Hopefully I'll get there by Summer. Good Luck to you
