I personally thought they were to costly. And the protien grams seemed low. I started buying primer Protein shakes....they have 30 grams of protein.. 5 carbs , with 160 calories. I love them.... I even freeze them and eat them like ice cream..... has been a nice refreshing treat!

I buy them at costco a case is $24 with 18 shakes per case

I had used those a lot in the early post op phases because they tasted good and were quick and easy. I do believe they help you with the carb cravings, but I believe that if you are getting enough Protein in in any form it helps with that. I understand some people think they are to low in protein value but you have to remember they are low in calorie also, I always try to look at the protein to calorie ratio if you are getting more the 1 gram of protein per 10 calories in something it's pretty decent in my opinion. Since these are 17 grams in 110 calories that around 1.5 grams per 10 calories so not so bad when you look at it that way. Good Luck.

I've tried several of the EAS brand shakes because they are so very easy for me to find and I really like them all. In spite of the fact that the Carb Control shakes have *only* 17g of Protein, I like the 100 calories and 2.5g carbs. I tried the original shakes in the beginning and although they have a whopping 42g of protein (17oz instead of 11oz shakes), I felt the 300 calories and 7g carbs were working against me. Carb Control are my version of choice at the moment even though I have to watch my additional protein intake carefully. Flavor-wise? I like them all!

I usI usI use them all the time. I had a bunch of (Publix) coupons for $1.50 off a 4 pack. They were also on sale at Publix for 2 for $10. I loaded up on French vanilla, Café Caramel and Dark chocolate. I've never added anything to them. They're ready to drink, so I just chill them, shake them and enjoy. They're convenient, reasonably priced when you find them on sale and yummy.

Yea I found them for 2 for $9 at kroger! So I cleaned up! !!ya they are lower in Protein but the calories are much lower and that's what I like. The premier shakes were just to expensive for me at $9 pet pack of 4 at kroger. Especially that's basically all I eat all day

They are my favorite Protein Shakes also. In my area - Target has them in 4-packs for $4.48 and they carry all the flavors including the Cafe Caramel which is my very favorite!! I just don't think that you can beat them for convenience, taste and price!

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
