Premier Protein question



Recommended Posts

I finally ordered Premier Protein from Amazon -- it's been impossible to find at the local Walmart. For those of you who are Premier fans, do you use it in coffee or coffee-based drinks? (Like a caramel latte, for example, with the caramel flavor.) Looking for suggestions, thanks in advance.

I enjoy the vanilla. I poured some in my coffe just last week. I was pleasantly suprised. I ordered Caramel extract off Amazon today. Im going to try that with the vanilla PP this week.

These are the only shakes I like and for the Protein and low calorie "price", they can't be beat (IMHO). I order them through Amazon. I started with chocolate. Then tried the tri-pack of Vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. Overall I (and most people from what I read) like chocolate the best. When I need a change, I use Vanilla. Not crazy about the strawberry flavor.

Then I saw they added caramel. Tastes more like butterscotch to me but I still like it. Around that time, I read about mixing the flavors for variety. So I started mixing caramel with vanilla, strawberry with chocolate. Still not thrilled with the strawberry. And now I see banana. Haven't tried it yet because I found it post-op (see below for what is going on now.)

Pre-op, I lived on these for Breakfast even before my 2-weeks of liquids. Those two weeks before my surgery, Premier shakes became unch and dinner too. FYI, when it was just Breakfast, I lost about 5 or 6 pounds in two months. When I did the 2-week liquid diet with them (although I cheated a little), I lost 6 pounds in those two weeks. (And I have to add that pre-op I was a very very slow loser every since my teenage years.)

Post-op, I used them at the beginning when I was on liquids and purees. Once I got to soft foods, I drink maybe 1/2 a container a day if that. Time to try mixing them into coffee, blending them together etc, because I am paranoid about getting enough Protein and losing my hair if I don't.

Also, I am back at work but from home. Once I am on the go again, I'll be bringing at least one a day because they are my go-to when I don't have time to eat.

Genius!

I poured half a caramel Premier into a cup of black coffee today. Was delish. Like a caramel latte, sans guilt. I'll give the PB powder a whirl in a chocolate shake tomorrow.

I mixed some powdered Peanut Butter with my vanilla, it tasted like peanut brittle. I was pleasantly surprised

I've added PB2 to both vanilla and chocolate. My morning fix most days is the chocolate with a shot of Decaf espresso. It is like having a mocha. I have also done the vanilla with some pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and some cream cheese for a pumpkin pie flavour

I am anxious to hear which one you ordered and how that is going. I may want to try the same thing. I am so sick of artificial sweeteners and the same shakes so started making my own with a Garden of Life brand, but Im missing the flavor. Thinking of going to a local gourmet store to find some flavors to try too.

I drink them just the way they are. For me I use 1 per day as my Breakfast. chocolate is my favorite and really the only one I buy.

i buy them at costco and about every 3 months or so they go on sale for 5.00 off per case.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
