I seem to be the only one that likes the chocolate Premier Protein!

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

No your not. I love the chocolate. It' s my favorite of the three flavors. I bought 2 cases of each flavor and I still have a 3/4 of a case of the strawberry. I liked the strawberry before surgery but now it just doesn't taste as good to me as it did before. I had trouble with the shakes in the 2nd case and Premier replaced the case. I was trying to get them to replace it with chocolate but they wouldn't do it. I also use The Bariatricpal hot chocolate every morning for Breakfast. I have to have at least 1 or 2 Protein drinks a day as I am having trouble with eating enough dense Protein foods to get to 60 let allow 80. I have had pain all along since week three and still do every time I eat a dense protein.

Samples of premier and other brands?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

They have bunch of different brands. I got 10 packets to try and landed with Quest chocolate shakes. Premier Protein chocolate and vanilla from buying 4 packs at Walmart. There is a Protein Water called protein2O that's good Atkins Lift Protein Water is good. Both have 15g of protein low calorie low sugars

Chike iced coffee and Chike chocolate bliss; unjury chocolate splendor, Syntrax nectar Cappuccino, Syntrax Matrix perfect chocolate, Syntrax Matrix mint cookie.

I mix my Protein shakes with unsweetened vanilla cashew milk. If you are using powders, what you mix yours with can make a big difference.

No Protein shake is ever going to taste like chocolate milk (Unjury chocolate splendor comes closest IMO). Look for something you can choke down fairly easily rather than something you "love."

I agree with all these they have the best flash or so far some are gritty and have an after taste.

And which blenders do you recommend? Surgery is Monday so it's crunch tine

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I don't like the premier chocolate shake cold, but heated up it's like a hot chocolate and wonderful. I also drink the vanilla and strawberry premier shake. I buy it by the case at costco.

Right now strawberry is my favorite, but it wasn't when I first had my surgery three months ago. Sometimes the strawberry taste really sweet to me and the vanilla sometimes not sweet enough.

I've also tried GNC whey Protein powder brand of Cookies and cream and also their unflavored. I use the unflavored to add to other foods. The unflavored hasn't really changed the flavor of any foods. The Cookies and cream was OK, I may try to blend it up with ice but I did find that both of their Protein powders worked better if I use my stick blender vs my magic bullet. Using the magic bullet caused the powders to foam too much.

What blender do you use?

Premier vanilla rules my universe.

And try Premier chocolate again, but don't try and pretend it's chocolate milk.....it's actually a lot more like a Yoo-hoo chocolate drink? I grew up in NJ and Yoo-hoo was super popular there, I loved it as a kid.

I have had a very hard time finding shakes that I could drink. i have recently discovered this combination that tastes amazing. I mix a bottle of carnation chocolate high Protein instant Breakfast (15g of protein) with a scoop of chocolate premiere protein and some ice cubes or frozen bananas. Very good and chocolatey

I've tried all the Chike flavors and can recommend each of them with high levels of confidence that you'll probably like them.

The absolute worst powder I ever tried is unjury strawberry. I thought I was going to hurl every time I tried it. Into the trash the can went. Never again.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
