    I have ordered the oatmeal Protein Cookies a few times. This week I ordered the protein Peanut Butter bar. I’ll see if I can link in an edit.

    Those things have been a lifesaver for me! I was doing fine on powders and premier before my surgery, but after anything milky or chalky was making me sick. They are expensive, but I’m so glad there’s an option with a lot of protein that I can tolerate. And I figure I was spending way more than $5 for a meal before surgery, so maybe it’s not too bad?[emoji16]

    I’m on full liquids now. I was only on Clear Liquids for one day after surgery. All I’ve been eating/drinking is Protein Shakes, Tomato Soup, broccoli cheese Soup that I blend up, apple sauce....and that’s it! Oh and lots of water!

    So funny and exactly why I recommend everyone keep trying because there are SO MANY kinds! I can’t choke down a Premier Protein on a bet! Too “creamy” for me because it feels syrupy. I prefer thinner and the powders are where it’s at for me. They don’t feel gritty/chalky to me at all.

    I’m always down to try new protein! When you can find a few different kinds it help for getting burnt out on it!

    At this rate I could be a spokesperson for them I am such a fan. However, keep in mind I HATED Protein drinks before finding these after 4 years of searching for one I could tolerate.

    I've stated on BariPal and swear by Premier Protein pre-made shakes. I cannot do powders as no matter how well it is blended I still feel the clumps and grittiness of it. Premier Protein pre made shakes have many flavors.
    Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry & Cream, Caramel, banana & Cream, Peaches & Cream, and the best one Oreo & Cream. They are very cheap at either Sam's Club or costco around $16.66 for a 12 pack at most. Other places they are really expensive.
    The nutrients are phenomenal. They are only 11 oz but contain 30g of protein!!! Also, only 1g of sugar, 160 calories, 5g of carbs, and 3g of fat. Not to mention 24 Vitamins and minerals listed at bottom.
    They are creamier than ever and mix very well with Decaf coffee.
    (Vitamin A, D, K, B6, B12, C, E, Calcium, Riboflavin, Pantothenic Acid, Iodine, Zinc, Copper, Chromium, Iron, Thiamin, Niacin, Folate, Biotin, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Selenium, Manganese, Molybdenum.)

    Mine is going ok...I have a Wife and two boys. They are all skinny people who can always eat whatever they want! So being around them is kinda hard when they eat their meals. But my Wife has been very good at trying to keep food and smells away from me, so I’m not too tortured! HaHa!

    The only thing Iv cheated with is Dill Pickles. But I asked my surgeon yesterday and he said Dill Pickles are fine! So I guess I’m not cheating. So every time I get a strong hunger I eat a pickle and it does the job for me.

    My weight loss has been CRAZY!!! I was weighed in my doctors office last Monday and I weighed 475 lbs. I got weighed again yesterday in the same doctors office and weighed 439 lbs. Iv been drinking 4-5 Protein Shakes a day with two scoops of Protein. And Iv also been drinking a gallon of Water every day! But I still lift weights every day...So that’s probably the extra boost I’m getting in weight loss. Iv been so worried about losing muscle and strength after my surgery.

    Hello everyone. I just stumbled across this website as I was doing my normal “bariatric Surgery” google search that I seem to keep doing. And thought to myself, what a great place to be! Talking to other people that are going through the same thing that I’m going through! I’m having Bariatric Surgery April 11th!
