Yeah I really like them. I picked up 3 cases. Got them for 16.66 today. Not sure you'd get them any cheaper.

Premier Protein chocolate is really good. You get 30 grams of Protein per serving. You can put it in the freezer for about 40 minutes and it's like having a frosty from Wendy's.
I got the already made 12 pack at Sam's Club for $17.

I get my Syntrax nectar from http://www.mybariatricpantry.com My personal favorite is grapefruit because when I mix it with Crystal Lite Lemonade, it tastes just like Fresca soda.

THANK YOU JESUS????????????????

Hi Todd, have you informed the doctors you feel shaky after the drink?
Also what came yo mind when you said your throat feels it closes up, it a sign of possibly you're allergic to the drink, first sign when you eat or drink some you're allergic your esophagus starts to feel tight as it swell. Please let your doctor know f you haven't and keep and eye out if it's a particular brand or all. It also be one of the Protein drink ingredient if it happens with all. But if it's happening with just Water than it's clearly you still need the doctor to help make more space for you.
Is it all Protein drinks or just one on this question too.
I did notice my heart raced and at times after my Protein Drink that were soy powder based.
I haven't told my doctors, as I keep forgetting but I assuming it's all the Vitamins in the Protein Drink that causes it.
The ready to go Premier Protein don't to the severity the powder mix did but was also a different brand.
Please ensure to discus these symptoms with your doctors
I hope you feel better, keep up posted.

I posting same info I just posted to other post "crazy hair loss"
regarding Vitamins. Try to get yourself 2 Vitamin containers in pic. One for home one for work, bring the one from work home on Fridays to refill take back Monday's. Helps us stay on track for our Vitamin intake. Set cell alarms if you have too.
I'm currently taking, however please note I'm 2 yrs out.
****Please make sure you check with your doctor and have them check your lab work and results as to what Vitamins you're low on and you need.
Always request a copy of your lab results and Doctor reports when you visit them. Keep in file and let your family know where to find. Place note date you fasted, lab visit date/time, Doctor follow-up visit date, so your family had available in case of emergency.
I forgot to mention this Omega fish oil in liquid form with d3 vitamin.
Highly recommend. It doesn't taste like fish at all, it's like drinking a huge lemon peel drop. Well worth it, I drink when I just don't get my oils or fish intake in for the week.
I'm also enjoying the new gummy vitamins, not recommend but now that 2 yrs out, my stomach digest them well and I still make sure to chew thoroughly. I'm not pregnant (I'm 49 yrs old ????) LOL!, but find that the pre-natals make me feel better.
Let me know if you have any questions. Im not on here all the time so if you'd like, inbox me a private email and I send you mine and I will reply sooner
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!
Stay hydrated! ????

Search post called "CRAZY hair loss"
I posted some info and pics there about shampoos, lotions etc
Will come in handy for you to start using as well. ????

You are welcome!! I'm glad it helped and feel the support. I hadn't been in here for a long while and came across yours as I was searching to see what others are dealing with their lose skin/rash.
I felt the very same you did when I had my wls, I only shared my wls with my husband, son's and mom so I was very much alone. Especially when I was in the hospital recovering, I cried lots and thought what did I get myself into. I had to stay 2 days longer in hospital because I just couldn't drink enough and wasn't meeting my quota the doctors expect out of patiences by 2nd day. So I had to stay on the iv and until I could drink the full Fluid amount of ounces. To top it off I suffered from anxiety prior to wls so during my recovery time and feeling scared, alone and more anxious I was super scared. Luckily for me, the hospital I was in and floor I was on is only for wls or hernia patiences so the nurses helped get me through the hospital stay and gave me advise to lift me and told me I would get past all these emotions and stages.
Hospital I had my also provided a religious rep and patience had option if wanted them to come body for a prayer on my 3rd day when I was told I had to stay longer I requested them and they visited my room, prayed for me and lifted my spirits. Mind you I'm not very religious.
This site was fairly new when I joined, but truly helped me and so did going to the support groups from my doctors office.
I posted a topic w/subject of my doctors name and gained 2 friends and became a support system for each other as well.
Check for a support group in your area, ask your doctor's office or post a support group with subject line of your city.
About the drunk I suggested, If you're not to sure about that many for cost on the premier Protein and just want to try, you can order online too for a six pack I believe, google it or Amazon has them too, so does the super markets but for me and my work schedule I usually order many items online unless I need right away. I go to market. Once you find which one you like, stock up and makes it easier for you to always have available and drink on schedule especially if you have work and have returned. I alway keep a yogurt at work and well the draft to go drinks I carry around every where along with other non perishable Protein snacks/bars I like to eat. Just so I'm not stressing to have to go shop for and interrupt my daily scheduled meals.
On weekends it's easier because I have more time to cook suck as eggs, broccoli, spinach, tuna salads, chicken etc... And also keep in mind, if you have a good blender, you can make your own Soups with your boiled fresh Soups.
Blend up, chicken, spinach or broccoli with chicken broth.
Spinach, broccoli and asparagus are very high in protein and Vitamins. So if you juice or make your own liquified soups, look for veggies high and rich in Vitamins we require.
There's another brand(I will look for can't remember) that's plain Protein Powder I used to order and added to chicken broth the first three weeks. My husband would make fresh chicken Soup or beef Soup and I would mix the broth with plain Protein Powder. Also used the broths from store, but home cooked was much tastier. I would also add to V-8 juices.
Tasted great! As we tend to get tired of all the sweet shakes, I needed salty savory craving so this plain powder helped tremendously.
I think I need to order another one again myself as I'm thinking about it
Warm broth soups felt good to my new small tummy (Winter, my wls was 11/14/13) along with the shakes being room temperature,but the I also read many post of ppl liking and feeling better drinking them cold, so whatever feels good to you.
Let me know whatever else I can do to help! ????????✌????️

Suggestion only but make sure to follow your doctors instructions and contact him/her always for all inquiries, concerns, pain etc.
Everyone's body is different and reacts, recovers differently.
When start to fill better and you can drink or sip more, try to get your Protein drinks in.
Your taste buds are out of control right now but and most Protein shake/drinks will taste awful, especially the powder ones.
I highly suggest Premier Protein ready to drink. I get mine at costco. I believe it's an 18 pack for about 24.99. Sometimes on sale w/their coupons. They have it in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry flavor a.
Each drink is 16oz, 30mg of protein at I believe calories 160. By far these have been on my daily intake.
I also eat the Fage yogurt daily, 8oz 0 fat and 22mg of protein.
Once you start to get your protein intake in, in conjunction to making sure you can try to get in all your Water, you will feel better and energized in time. Please ensure to have your surgeon check your labs for Vitamins deficiency. After my surgery on 2nd week out, I thought I was drinking enough protein but was so paranoid about not drinking enough Water I was actually over drinking, flushing my protein out tmi but urinating too much.
I was finally at stage to take crushed Vitamins and he recommended I take extra Iron and suggestion Brad called Vitron-C (take 1 daily but on menses 2x daily) which I can only find online Amazon and Walmart and cheap.
I also needed Vitamin D3 and take 10.000mg daily. I get at Walgreen and look for sales of the smaller tablets or small gel when they have sell buy one get one free.
For hair loss which is normal and will eventually come but will slow or stop around your 6/7 month out.
I take the following
Biotin
Zinc
And the Iron helps for Hair loss too
You must also take your daily multi Vitamin and Calcium daily.
B12 helps for extra energy.
I hope you feel better soon, be assured you're not alone and many of us have gone through many similar symptoms you're experiencing. Always check in with your doctor or his nurse.
Inbox me if you'd like more info or can answer more concerns.
I'm 2 Yrs out from my wls had and was not able to exercise, lost many inches but have not met my personal and desired goal, however I'm super happy have gone from size 24 to 14/12, not sure what my bmi is but I'm 5'7.
Now dealing with new medical issues such as rashes from lose skin and recently went to see dermatologist and being treated for it, need it.
Feeling content though.
Your in my thoughts and available if you need more info.
Keep strong, know you're not alone, and you are going to get past this, take everything day by day.
Healthy and positive vibes going your way!! Take good care!
PS
Peppermint tea is the best tea go have handy for gas, tummy aches and nausea!
Also have a magnesium drink available for Constipation since its also part of our healing process and so much daily protein intake. I get Walgreen's brand cherry flavor or Phillips brand. But you have many to chose from I drink to cleanse 1 a month or when I haven't had a bowel movement within 3 days. Tip for me when needed is I start to get a pain towards my right side of upper tummy.
