Side affects from protein shakes?

[CandiceRW 8]

Starting a pre-op diet 1month before LapBand removal. 60gm Protein Shakes a day and 1 up to 400calorie meal.

Should I just jump all in with the shakes or slowly introduce?

I'm going to use fairlife Protein shakes and premier powders.

Thanks for any info.

Fairlife are good. I use both their chocolate and vanilla. Sip slowly, don't gulp or put too much Protein on your stomach too fast. Otherwise you shouldn't have any side effects.

Just follow the plan the surgeon gave you. I think the shakes and the one meal a day is what I did pre surgery and it worked very well. I think this is just for the liver shrink anyway.

Thanks guys,

I just tried my first one. The premier clear Protein Drink in peach. And I love it. I wanted to have another option instead of shakes and powders and this is it!

Post op you will probably do a lot of those. Everything else except the Premier Protein clear fruit punch flavor was way too sweet to me post of (I don’t like peach but assume it’s sweetened with same product). Then eventually I found their caffe latte shake. It’s not too sweet either. It has caffeine in it though.

Just had premier cafe latte. Soooo good. Took everything I had not to down it 😊. Love that it has caffeine. Probably go to for Breakfast, right now. We'll see how long it satisfies my hunger. This clear peach Protein drink lasted quite a while.

Thanks for being here guys!

Thank you! I have a huge supply of the Fairlife choc, vanilla and coffee on hand. Love their milk. I bet these will be even better. My husband, who's not on a diet, found the 42g Protein Shake in the convenience store and now drinks one every day, they are so good.

Thanks for posting this!!!! I start my pre op diet tomorrow and I have some of the Premier Cafe Latte (got a variety pack) and I was wondering if it had caffeine in it or if it was just coffee flavored.
