Hi All!

I am having my VSG on 2/26/15 (Yay!). I began my liquid diet on the 12th. Do you have any tips!? Especially on Protein shakes. Thanks!!!

I'm having revision surgery on the 16th, but Protein shakes have been part of my life for years since lapband. The band surgeon recommended Premier Protein Shakes (found at Sam's club) - they're 160 calories, 30 grams protein, and of ALL of the shakes I've tried over the years, I like these the best. I was pleased to see my new sleeve/revision surgeon recommends them as well.

@@WendyDTX I love the premier protein shakes, I would drink them when I was on a high protein diet, guess I'll be drinking them again, huh!! I can't wait!

Thanks!! I've heard a lot about Premier Shakes. Do they sell them not in bulk so I can see which flavors I would like? Good luck with your revision surgery!

@@MsCP At Sam's, they are sold in 12 packs for about $15/box, and come in vanilla, strawberries and cream, or chocolate. However, I have seen them in slightly different packaging than what I buy at Sam's (there, they have a red "spout" lid - the ones I've seen in the fridge at work were the "old" packaging with a silver tear-off opening on top), so I feel pretty confident you can buy them individually "somewhere" - I just don't know where that might be. I know Vitamin Shoppe has a fridge full of different Protein drinks, I wonder if they can be found there?

While all three flavors are very good, the vanilla is my favorite. None of them taste "diet-y", if that makes sense.

My NUT gave us a sample of the premier shakes.....and I must say they are pretty good (and I am VERY picky)! Good luck!
