OK, I will be the first to say that I am not always on top of the lastest products, but today I found drinks at Costco with 30g protein, 5 carbs, and l60 calories. I am so excited, even though I am probably the last person on this forum to find this product. I will be sleeved in two days and am already planning what I will be eating. Gee, one would think I'm obsessed with FOOD..LOL

I have tried those and they are good but I don't know if you will be able to drink them right away. My dr. said no because I had to be able to get the protein in abut 5 oz. of milk or water and those are pre measured. It may take you too long in the beginning to get that in. I had to use 1 scoop/5oz. so I would get 25 grams in each drink.

What kind of drink is it? Is it Muscle Milk? Have you tasted Muscle Milk? I still don't get how people think that stuff tastes good, I thought it was pretty nasty. Whatever it is you found, you may want to buy a single one at the grocery before buying a case of it at Costco...plus your taste preference could change after surgery...mine didn't at all, but for some it does. Good luck with your surgery next week!

You must be talking about Premier Protein. I buy it at Costco too. It really doesn't taste too bad for a protein shake.

Premier Protein is the one. It is economical, you get 24 for $23.59. You can have 60grams of protein (30 grams each) for a cost of just under $2.00 a day. Then I just eat dinner with my family. It is so easy as well. No mixing, just grab and go.

Premier is very popular on this board. I think Muscle Milk light tastes better. They are about the same price but the Premier does have 10 more grams of protein per carton.

LOL...What is the name of the 30gm protein product you found at Costco? ...I've got a Costco about 3 miles from where I live.

It's Premier. It comes in a case of 24 and they are usually found in the pharmacy area. Hope you like it, cause you can't buy single ones.

Premier premade shakes are all I can get down right now. The powdered stuff I was able to drink BEFORE surgery, but now makes me gag. For some reason, these go down much easier. And since my Doc say 2 a day and one meal till I get the weight off.....I have a long road ahead of me for Protein shakes.

I have been using Premier since very early post-op. I didn't have any issues but everyone is different. You might try a few sips, see how it settles and then try a little more.

I used Atkins and Nutrilite pre-op and the taste is pretty similar; they only have 15 Protein tho.

Good Luck!

It's funny because I think Muscle Milk should be called Mucky Milk, just liike people call ISOPURE, ISOPUKE. That's why it's good to try these things to see what you can tolerate. I am fine with ISOPURE drinks, and PURE PROTEIN 35 g frosty choclate shakes, but no, no, no for the Muscle Milk. Also, I find flavors i liked or dsiliked pre surgery, often changed post surgery. So, it gets down to findin what works for you.
