Same here, I'm so bummed. Let me share the link w/ you, there are others that look yum, and are on their good list. Well, I guess I'm returning my case of Premier back to Sam's http://www.eatthis.com/protein-shakes

Hold up wait a minute, let me put a "WHAT!!? O.o" in it! Have you seen this? This was on the worst of Proteins, list. 12 PREMIER Protein Per 11 fl oz bottle, vanilla: 160 calories, 3 g fat (1 g saturated fat), 270 mg sodium, 4 g carbs (1 g Fiber, 1 g sugar), 30 g protein Commonly used in over-processed breads, DATEM (DiAcetylTartaric acid Esters of Monoglycerides) is used as a shelf-stabilizing emulsifier in both dough and Protein Shake applications, as Protein Powder is notoriously difficult to mix with Water. Unfortunately, this additive is often made from artery-clogging partially hydrogenated oils, which the FDA will ban from food products starting in June 2018. Premier Proteinresponded to us and said their DATEM is only made from fully-hydrogenated oil—but why use it in the first place, when so many others don't?

I had that same issue and ended up returning the powder, I paid a decent amount for the container. I gave up on powders at a certain point and eventually, went to liquid proteins. I will make a shake and add protein to it, but I mostly get my protein from Premier (bars and shakes) or through eating. I mostly prefer to eat my protein, there are some days where I'm just not in the mood, on those days, I revert back to bars. I love their products, but they can be a pretty penny. When I make shakes, I use one of their products per the taste I'm in the mood for that day. Yum!

In the beginning, I thought I could snack on Chees-Its and I stalled. When I had a follow up appointment, my Dr asked what I had been eating. Every day, I had a serving of those crackers, those amazing delicious ever so lovely crackers, and that is where my stall came from. Once I told them goodbye, I started to drop again. Oh the little things, can have such a big impact on our success.

Spot on!

I had the same issue, I just lightly rubbed them for about the first week. Afterwards, things seemed to mend themselves.

I pretty much do the same, but not everyone is capable of cooking a great meal nor able to find the time to fully commit to making a daily meal. I think for those, this is a great idea, but this company, I'll pass. I used Plated and really enjoyed preparing their meals. Since the surgery, I put that to rest.

HA, this is a great way to end the night! lol Wow

This is what I'm using, I'm happy I'm almost out. I had no idea O.o I think my Dr. had Caltrate on the list, knowing me, I read it wrong.

If you're easily insulted or offended, I'd highly suggest you not address a range of different people, w/ different views. I hope your day has been a beautiful one, be well dear.

I get the citrus liquid multi through, Amazon (Centrum,). Calcium Caltrate, I get the soft chews (I forgot who makes them). Everything else, is very tiny and doesn't make it a challenge to take. Watch out for the gummies and kiddo vitamins, I was told those are the vitamins we need to stay away from.

I eat pork rinds, I made sure that was one of the first things I asked my Dr. The only thing he stressed, was drinking water and making sure I hit my count due to the sodium. A small bag of rinds has 7 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, and no carb's. At least, the rinds I get. Yum! Cracklings, I will not touch.

I wasn't alone, but if I were, I don't think it would have been impossible to manage. Ahead of time, I stocked the fridge and supplied everything I felt would be needed. The only thing I really needed my boyfriends help with, were the shots of my blood thinner, I had to do that for a month after the surgery.

For me, a trip like that would be way too soon. After two weeks, I tried to take a lengthy grocery shopping trip and I failed and ended up having to leave with what I had. I was so zapped for energy, I could only imagine how I would have handled a trip. At the time, we had a trip scheduled for Universal Studios and actually, rescheduled for a later date. Health, comes first. The last thing you want to do is have an emergency w/out having your surgeon at arms length. If you decide to go, I'd locate a WLS clinic that would be willing to see you, if the need was there. Hopefully all will go well, but you just never know.

Alright, I don't live by the reviews of others, but I feel if they all follow the same suit, something within the complaint is valid. I'm still reading, but initially, this looks like a great plan.

Before the surgery, I was a huge lover of Plated. I will check out what you presented, I'm always up for a healthy meal plan, thanks for sharing!

"Oh my goodness, you never looked like you weighed 400 pounds!" That was the most common thing said, in my case. When I started the process of the surgery, I was more than happy to share my plans, including my ultimate goals. I had so much support, heck, support I didn't even expect. I track my journey on my FB and Instagram, you'd be amazed at how many people will continuously walk the walk with you and encourage the progress you're making. A part of who I am is my journey, I'll never keep that hidden. Live to be an example!

I don't usually look at the fat content, which at some point started to worry me. The only thing I found my eyes really focused on were the carbs and protein. I'll do what you suggested and get liquid fiber, at this time I haven't had any issues with constipation, but it will not hurt to add a daily fiber supplement into my regimen. After reading a lot of these threads, I realized there are many things I could be doing a bit differently. Thank you, everyone!

I love being in the gym, it makes me feel more accomplished and I'm starting to look into Crossfit.

When I initially started this journey, I knew I only wanted the Gastric Sleeve and nothing else.

South Beach Phase I

This is so new for me, I never knew fiber cancelled some of the carbs. Let me ask, what happens if we do not get enough fiber and also, should we be eating a certain amount of fats?
