Hi!

My doctor wants me drinking 3 of the Premier Protein shakes a day, however I’m not doing too great with them! For some reason they just feel too heavy for me to tolerate and I just feel super queasy after. Does anyone else have this experience with these particular shakes? Anything that helps?? I saw they make a juice version of the premier Protein which is a little less protein but I’m thinking it might be worth a try.

Hello I've seen that they have protein Water not necessarily Premier brand but you might want to try that, I've also diluted my Protein Drinks with water.

You can also dilute them with skim milk

diluting is a good idea. You could also use Water and count it toward your required Fluid intake, I LOVED Premier Protein shakes before surgery. I bought 4 cases on sale at costco. But..... after surgery, they were just too sweet. Tasted like chocolate syrup! So poor hubby took the unopened cases back.

They are considered a Meal Replacement - not just a Protein supplement, How long does your doctor want you to keep on 3 shakes a day?

I had that same problem. But my surgeon only allowed 4 ounces, as that counted as a meal. The Cookies & Cream flavor, for some reason, hurt my stomach. After that, I started making my own Protein Shakes using Isopure Protein Powder.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
