Found a shake I can tolerate



Recommended Posts

After trying lots of Protein shakes and wasting money...I've found Premier Protien shakes. I purchased them at Sams Club. A box of twelve was $16.29 which comes to about $1.35 per shake. I've only seen chocolate and vanilla. I like them because theyre already mixed. Just store in the fridge or pour over ice and enjoy! They are very smooth and mild. The chocolate is my favorite. It tastes like Yoo-Hoo.

Each 11oz serving has 30 grams Protein and 160 calories.

Yep that is the only shake I can tolerate as well. I only use the chocolate and have it for Breakfast every other day. I have heard people say they like the vanilla and then add sugar free syrups to change the flavor, but I'm not a huge fan of vanilla, so I just stick to what I like. In Oregon at costco a case of the shakes is over $25, so you have a great price too!

Yes, I loved the Premier shakes preop, but can't drink them postop. Tried Muscle Milk today and that one was even worse! Tried a few of the Syntrax drinks and don't like those either. I'm just putting unflavored whey Protein in the Soups that I'm eating(and I use this term loosely lol)!

I am having a difficult time finding shakes without sugar substitutes. Has anyone found something out there that has stevia or some other alternative to sucralose, splenda, etc.?

Before surgery I was using Body Fortress chocolate & Peanut Butter but it has 7 Gms of carbs, more than my doctor allows per serving. We're also not supposed to use pre-mixed Protein Shakes. I got some Body Fortress whey isolate vanilla that has 3 Gms of carbs but it's just too sweet & not a good sweet. I've given up & gone to unflavored Protein Powder & added Crystal Light or Torani SF syrups for flavor. Maybe today I'll try it in my broth.< /p>

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
