I was curious if any of you post op people have had problems drinking this particular shake. A FB group I just joined was saying it was the wrong type of Protein & suggested it can cause dumping. Yet Kaiser's bariatric pgm highly recommends it. Just curious if this is just a certain group bashing other drinks in order to sell their's or if it's truly not the best option. Thanks.

I use it too and it was recommended also .I never had any problem

I use it and love it. At 9 1/2 months post-op, I still drink one everyday and have had no issues with it. It is recommended a lot on this site.

I am pre surgery. I drink it every morning, and have a friend several years out (RNY) that uses it as Breakfast. I also have a closer friend that had her RNY surgery on 12/31, and her doctor recommends it.

My doctor, however, does not recommend it. Go figure.

I haven't decided what I'm going to do about that though (LOL). I will buy some of the shakes he recommends (Bariatric Pal and Chike), and since I've read so many times that your tastes change, maybe I won't even like Premier Protein after surgery...

I am approaching 3 years out and normally have one every day. Has never caused dumping for me. Highly recommended by my Bariatric Clinic.

I've almost 2 months post-op, I drink it daily usually (morning snack) and never had dumping. And my nutritionist says it's fine to use.

Im 2 weeks post op rny and drink them every day! Also went through Kaiser in san diego.

That's so strange. But I guess everyone is different.

Thanks everyone. That's what I thought. That site is hosted by a company that sells bariatric products & the admins want to push their products. I know my tastes will change after but for now I like them.

It's not recommended by some nutritionist (including mine) because it is a Protein blend. My NUT wants the first ingredient to be whey Protein whereas Premier's first ingredient is "protein blend".

I think it depends on the person. My wife had her RNY in January of this year and she can't tolerate it; however, as you can see in the comments, many are fine with it.

It didn't cause dumping and won't, BUT it did taste really aweful and the taste was so bad post op, that I couldn't make myself drink it without heaving.

I like it now but that could change post-op
