Recommended Posts

yea I'll let you know cause if they do taste good I bought a case of them at Sams club for $20 and that is unfortunately cheaper then the lean Protein but I don't do the powder I do the premix.

I'm in love with GNC lean Protein Shakes and since I can still have the Atkins advantage ones i do the mocha latte one in the morning a chocolate one at lunch then I'm trying Premier Protein at night after dinner since it is 30g of Protein I'm hoping that I can starve off the hungry and attempt to go to bed early. although I seem to have insomnia and sleep and hour or two and wake up. so I get hungry!

Have you had this insomnia long? If so, you should have a sleep study done.

I have much of the same problem and I'm a diagnosed narcoleptic.

I too get hunger pangs throughout the night. I've learned that doing a few crunches puts enough pressure on my stomach to make them subside quick.

I am booked for January 7th with Dr. Ariel Ortiz! I fly in the 6th and out the 11th. I can't believe it's finally happening. I just bought some Protein Shakes and different broths just to start the ball rolling…. AHHHHH!

@@mkw10 Hey tried that other shake and it was pretty good. I'm so worried that I will not like the same things after surgery so I'm trying not to buy too much before I go for my surgery. So I'm going to just buy this case and buy enough of the flavors I like til I try them all after surgery so I can see what I like and then just go buy by bulk.

@@Veronica Page That's the worst when you have an issue and no diagnosis. I had to do a test overnight and throughout the next day to get my narcolepsy diagnosis. It took 5 misdiagnoses from GPs/PCPs, an intro to psychology class, and moving cross country to get mine.

My biggest surgery day worry is the anesthesia. I've read that narcoleptic patients have a harder time regaining consciousness afterward. It may take hours for me to finally wake up. Still gotta talk to Dr. Ortiz about it.

Currently on Atkins, and mostly hate it. No carb cravings but I'm bored to death and my body resists losing weight. Sticking with it to the end of the semester and then onto "slim fast" diet.

Just depends I have been trying different ones I like advantedge strawberry and cream ready to drink ones found at Walmart I also love the GNC lean Protein ready to drink ones vanilla bean is my fav also core power light strawberry n banana is good too I also used whey vanilla Protein Powder with almond milk and it was ok.. There's few more I want to try just waiting to get paid

I started yesterday (because I wanted to see if I could do it. Not because I was told to) I'm having 2 shakes a day. I think I may move to three because I do get a little hungry between Breakfast and lunch. I have breakfast around 8 and lunch around 2!

Does the Premier Protein come in a variety pack or just one flavor? That's the one you got at Sam's Club right?

yikes...only came in one flavor! but I also purchased the 100 calorie snack size bottles too which are nice. I carry mine in my scrub pants and drink it when I just need it to tie me over but don't want the snack machine to tempt me!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
