Are you making your own broth/? That really ups the taste. AND will keep the sodium down.

Also, try adding some Nutritional Yeast to the broth. It will add more savory tastiness to the broth. It will taste like "croutons" without adding anything to the texture. You will still only have "broth".

Tomorrow--big day! What are you adding for Protein? Time to think out of the box...

Wish you well and a joyful WLS journey.

I nine days out and I'm killing the broth too. I kinda jazz it up a bit so I don't get bored. Each person is different. I know people who can't keep down the Protein drinks. Whatever works and stays down keep doing it.

Ah thanks ladies!!! I stocked up on premier Protein right before the surgery and my NUT told me in my last appointment that she doesn't recommend them because of the ingredients . I'm still debating ... Every post and person I have followed has swore by premier . I would prefer something pre made on the go...

BTW, the fact you don't feel full is why they tell you don't drink with your meals. Liquids tend to go straight through your sleeve. Liquids on top of solids tends to push it out of your stomach, and you lose the first step of digestion of key nutrients. And if it's out of your stomach it tends to help you over eat down the road. (hint, hint - we really are here to help people succeed beyond their wildest dreams).

Thanks for all the responses guys! I got my sleeve in Mexico and I appreciate the feedback although I know my doc is only an email away I don't want to seem silly asking these little things

Honestly I find the Premier Protein fandom kind of offputting. I'm convinced they are paying people to post about it on here!

So my mom used the premier Protein shakes and she loves them, we only drink the chocolate. I bought some and stocked up in hopes to get a surgery date soon, I've slowly been replacing Breakfast and lunch or Snacks with them but they kinda taste like feet lol probably just me but I can only drink them on ice, and I don't always feel full after one

Why doesn't she like premier? My surgeon specifically recommended premier.

This is another one that the doctors and NUTs are all over the place. My NUT didn't approve any Protein supplement that had whey or soy protein concentrate.....or hydrolyzed Gelatin, or collagen protein... I can't remember for sure now but I think the Premier had concentrate. In fact I never found any pre-made that didn't have protein concentrate.

I followed those instructions right at first but did decide pre-made easier and better....I used the EAS brand.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
