How many premier protein shakes should I get



Recommended Posts

I don't know if you are a costco member, but I buy mine there, in the 18 pack. I usually buy chocolate and vanilla. It's about $25 for the 18, compared to about $8 for 4 here, in Seattle area, so a better deal. You can also use them to make sugar free Jello pudding and such, so I really like them.

my doctor told me to drink them for Breakfast and lunch but I dont know how many I should get go back to see my doc on the 25 of this month

25th minus 9th (today) = 16 days.

16 days times 2 sachets per day = 32.

Easy.

How do you make the pudding? How much pudding to each shake? Thank you!

Sorry if this is something you've already done but just in case.... try whatever you're thinking of buying in bulk first because you don't want to end up with a bunch of stuff you hate. Premier is what I tried first and I like it. I've bough 3 4-packs at Walmart. Due to time and proximity of Walmart vs costco. But I'll be going to Costco today :)


- No idea what I'm doing but I'm here! :)

I would personally hold off on stocking up on Protein Shakes before surgery. I was fine with Premier shakes before my sleeve but afterwards the smell and taste made me gag. I'm 7 months out now and still don't like them. Sometimes taste can be affected by surgery and I wouldn't want you to be stuck with a stockpile of shakes you don't like anymore.

Be careful stocking up post op. I was lactose intolerant for a few weeks post op. I could tolerate them with Lactaid, but muscle milk was much better (lactose free). Instead of stocking up on one thing, stock up on a variety so you can keep trying if something doesn't sit right.

On making Protein pudding...I buy whatever sugar free flavor of store brand, or Jello brand pudding I like. Then I add the Protein Shake instead of milk, to the instant mix. A small box takes 2 cups of milk, so I use a full Premier Protein, and then the balance in non-fat milk, whisk it up, pop it into a container and into fridge for atleast 10 min. Overnight is better, as it gives a smoother texture. I've done Choc pudding with choc protein, vanilla pudding with banana cream protein, and vanilla with vanilla pudding

I love the chocolate, and a little serving works wonders...YUM!

I'm not a big banana fan either, but a friend gave me 2 of the banana cream, and rather than waste it, this made it not as ick to me. chocolate is my favorite so far, and I think I'm going to try the Jello sugar-free cheesecake flavor with the vanilla. That ought to be good : )

      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.
