Tried A New Protein Drink Today



Recommended Posts

I am not a Protein drink drinker. Even in my Clear liquid phases I drank Instant Breakfast. Couldn't stomach the thought of a Protein shake. (doing Optifast 20 years ago made me nauseas just thinking of Protein shakes)

BUT-I was at costco today and they were sampling both the chocolate and vanilla Premier canned protein drinks- 30 grams of protein, about 180 calories, 1 gr sugar $24 for 18 cans.

I was actually able to swallow it! Both flavors! Didn't notice any protein aftertaste. The vanilla had a faint coconut flavor-but it was nice.

If I had to do Protein shakes ever again I would definitly go with these.

And with costco, if you buy the case, try one and don't like it-You can return the remainder of the case and they will refund all of your money.

I totally agree - I tried about 5 different kinds of Protein Shakes prior to surgery and the ones from costco were by far my favorite! Haven't tried the vanilla ones, I'm happy with the chocolate :) I also mix in a 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt to my shakes to get an additional 11.5g of Protein. Plus a half banana just because I love bananas! Yummy!

Yes, the Premeir shakes are the best I've tried all around. I have been espousing their awesomeness on the board for quite some time.

I'm almost 7 months out and have at least one a day.

Congrats on finding what works for you.

It's the only one I could handle after many trys of other product. I tell everyone about them...even my friends that haven't had surgery.

Does anyone know if you can get the shakes anywhere else besides costco?

You can also get the shakes at Sams Club...at least the chocolate ones. Price in Bama is 17.88 for a 12 pack. You can order them online too but they are more on their website at www.premiernutrition.com. I agree with everyone else these shakes are the best!!!

I agree with all they are my favorite by far. My hubby thinks they taste a lot like a little thicker chocolate milk he does low carb and has lost 40 lbs. They are a part of our regular pantry items and will be forever.

I thought they were specific to costco ShoeLover, I just found them on-line but they are a little more expensive $28 a case.

Yeah for premier!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
