My precious premier protein drinks :(



Recommended Posts

I think I have to stop them for a few days. :(. I think my tummy doesn't like them yet. They do feel heavier and that doesn't bother me so much but sleevy just grumbles and rumbles and tries a temper tantrum. :(

Or maybe I'll do only one a day (I don't even drink the whole thing) and see if that makes it better. Sigh, I'm not sure what to do.

I love my drinks and I like feeling like I actually ate something. Woe is me

Edit to add: I'm 1 week out today, started them on day 5. Had permission to start them day 4.

The chicken broth powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury does NOT tickle my fancy and the unflavored, I add a TINY amt to my G2. I don't need to go getting weak. I has stuffs to do.

I love them too but sometimes they have that effect on me too. I have one a day now where I would do two to three a day pre op. My NUT use to say I was on the liquid diet way before I needed to be but I love premier! am 14 weeks post op. now and stick to one in the am because more mean tummy trouble. I have found drinking them slow helps a bit so I tend to have a long Breakfast with one.

Yesterday I did do a premier and Danon Light Greek Yogurt strawberry flavor in the blender. I was not going to be home for the am snack so was trying to get it in because I sometimes come in to low on calories. My Doc wants 1100-1200 I struggle to stay above 800 because I eat low carb/low fat and high Protein healthy that type of food fills the sleeve and you do not want as much. So any way that was like a chocolate strawberry milkshake and was delicious. I wanted every drop but couldn't quite finish it. Delicious!

I'm 10 days out and I have 2 a day. Yea, I get a bit of grumbling... but it goes down and stays down ok. I simply try to drink those a bit slower.

I'll drink one slower today.

Do you guys know if nuking the chocolate for 30 seconds could "kill" the Protein? I like my warm chocolate. :D

Hi Amy

I just bought premier Protein too. But I'm going have to stop or maybe take one per day. im having the same problem. So I ordered unjury chicken flavored Protein to go in my Soups. And I will get some more Isopure . My new sleeve tolerated the Isopure. I didn't expect the reaction to premier. Its too sweet tasting too for me, In my opinion.

Before surgery I tolerated them.

Best of Luck

My sleeve did not like them until 4 weeks out. Now no rumbling or heavy feeling. Give it a few weeks.

Try adding skim milk or coffee to thin them.

I have been having one every morning, today it didn't want to go down. I did half and the waited about 30 minutes and finished. It was gagging me every time I swallowed. I was wondering if something changes from my last box to this one.

No coffee, how about milk or soy mik which both are high in Protein.< /p>

I developed this problem at about three weeks out too Amy. No reason for it specifically... they go down fine and stay but "temper tantrum" is right. I could not handle it. I've got to find a solution for the problem too because I cannot simply eat enough protien in the day. I hope it resolves for you soon!

I started drinking Premier Protein 2 weeks post surgery. I still have a hard time sucking one down. They are the best tasting I've had, and the smaller size is great, but, it feels heavy sometimes.

I'm about 12 weeks out, and I drink one every day for Breakfast. I didn't find them till I was about 3 weeks out, and it was the only type I could stand. Tried lots of other stuff, and just couldn't tolerate it. Everything was SO sweet tasting. I will say that hus subsided now, and mostly everything tastes "right" now.

Those shakes are good and economical, so I do hope you can tolerate them again!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
