The Best place to get the Premier

Protein Shakes is COSTCO!!

Self Paying patients be aware! I am so thankful that my insurance covered! The hospital bill was 110,000 but my insurance negociated the amount down to 25,000 and I only paid 1,000 !!! Not including the bill from the Dr!!

Greetings, Amy! We have a lot in common -- I am also in Glen Allen, am a self pay patient, and Dr. Schroder is my surgeon. My surgery is on Thursday

I have tried a couple of different shakes, and have settled in with mostly Atkins products. Their vanilla is actually pretty good and they have several variations on chocolate that I also enjoy, including a mocha latte that isn't half bad. The Premier Protein shakes are also pretty good, but are getting harder to find. Martin's seems to be phasing them out, and I couldn't find any at Target the other day. I have stockpiled some 4-packs for my first two weeks post op, as they have 30 g Protein per container.

As for Vitamins, I went with the suggested Bariatric Advantage chewables, at least for the short term. I'll probably do some comparison shopping once I have some time. In the interim, it was easier to just "go with the flow."

Richmond here!

I'm from Richmond too.

Just had Surgery with Dr. Brengman also.

How is everything going with you all?

Any support groups to recommend other than

Dr. Brengman's Henrico group?

I love the vanilla ans Chocolate!

The strawberry is the worst !!!

Have you tried the Protein Shake from costco. It is called Premier Protein. I love the vanilla, like the chocolate and hate the strawberry!

The good thing is that they have almost no Carbs and 30gr of Protein per 11oz

I have one in the morning ... I sip for 1 hour then another at the end of trhe day if I need extra protein.

It happens mines was at 3 weeks...and of course i had a mini melt down...But this too shall pass...as long as you are doing what u need to do the scale will move....

Thanks

Trying not to have a meltdown over here.

I got sleeved on Dec 15. Went back to work on Jan 6 and I am doing great. Eating my mushy foods, getting 60 grams of Protein down and at least 48 oz of Water. I struggle with the water.

On the first 2 weeks I lost a lot. I am down 32 lbs but for week 3 and 4 post op I have been kind of stable. Anyone having a Plateau like me??

I am for the first time 100% sure that I am doing everything correct. So I am a little confused and worried. What am I doing wrong??
