Well my doctor give me a list of shakes but I also purchase the premier and that shake was not in the list to keep it to drink in my job and I keep them in the refrigerator because it was convinience for me so far I lost 10 pounds in -10 days, honestly I do not see nothing wrong with replace one shake with other brand that a lot of people also use and they are okay using those brands but that is a choice you have to make , I know I did my, good luck with you diet

My doctor told me 2 weeks to fully recover and back to work , my surgery is nov 6 and I am planing to comeback to work nove 20, for me is better to take the time off for a complete recovery.
