From OTR ( one of the mods) he reply to my questions about pdcaaas there:

"Sounds like a misunderstanding of the PDCAAS scoring model. The PDCAAS doesn't go from 1-100, it from 0.00-1.00. Looking at the ingredients of a premier shake, it is all milk based Proteins which score 1.0- the best score available.

I typically say that premier is a "good alternative" if you cannot tolerate pure whey Protein isolate or I'd you need the convenience.

The downside to Premier shakes is that they are mostly milk based rather than whey. Meaning they do contain much of the impurities found in milk and are not a good option for the lactose intolerant. Keep in mind that immediately after surgery we are much more likely to develop a lactose intolerance. Therefore I recommend them as a convenience but not as a regular "go to" Protein source.". OTR

I drink unjury and premiere Protein. I mix it up a bit between the 2. I love the unflavoured Protein from UNjury! I make my SF cheese cake pudding with it!

I still struggle to get all my protein in daily. But I am trying!

Thanks for all the input. I have such a hard timw with the shakes they make me sick to the stomach. I add the unflavored powder to everything but one teaspoon or tablespoon isnt that much Protein. I am hoping now that i start the pureed phase it will be easier.

That's a lot of carbs and calories for few Protein grams

U must be a carb angel! 2-4g of carb for 15-17 Protein doesn't seem bad to me as a supplement, not a Meal Replacement. I get 80-100g protein daily and half of that in carbs daily.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
