I can tolerate the chocolate ones, but I'm starting to gag just thinking about the vanilla ones... (I drink Premier already made from Costco).

LOL I think we all feel this way. I too drink the Premier chocolate and can't even think about drinking the vanilla anymore. I know I will puke those things. I also order from www.mybariatricpantry.com and order the mint cookie Protein Powder and that stuff is GOOD! You might try the Syntax nectar on this site also. They sell sample packages.

When I get sick of the shakes I will drink a glass of Mootopia. It's a lactose free milk that has 12g of Protein per cup and the chocolate is yummy.

It happens to everyone eventually. I was never a sweets person so all the chocolate, vanilla and occasional strawberry just didn't do it for me. I loved the more "savory" ones from Healthwise and Unjury for chicken Soup, beef broth, and Tomato in my first two months. I still use the Syntrax Nectar shakes today, mainly the Lemon Tea because it's very mild and tastes like tea to me, not too sweet.

I'm the opposite. I could drink chocolate Premier Protein shakes for each meal. With some sort of chewy snack in between. food in general just doesn't sound good and the premier shakes are already done and ready and thoughtless. Of course I make myself eat real food, but its just not the same as it used to be.

I love the nectar shakes and look forward to them. food makes me feel bad, bumpy, nauseous, etc. I mix Fuzzy Navel Protein powder with V8 fusion Light Peach Mango.

I might have to try the mint ones. I've eliminated the rest of them thru time ....

The mint cookie one is so so good! It is kinda like my treat Protein shake!

Can you make your own? I use the 100% whey Protein powder (EAS or Designer Whey, etc) and often just make my own.

I tried one vanilla one and hated it, but was then stuck with a whole box. So I started using them as a replacement for Creamer in my Decaf coffee. Which seems to work for me and gives me more Protein for the day. I also can handle them if I put some fruit and ice with the vanilla in my bullet and make a smoothie.

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. 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?
      Thanks

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
