Where do you buy the Premier shakes?


I normally get mine from Wal-Mart. They are kinda pricey (@$7.80) but they are worth every penny because they taste so good! Start out with the strawberry & cream, that's the best flavor in my opinion!

I am really excited to see so many June 5 sleevers!! We have got this and we will succeed and be winners. I figure if we can all make it through the liquid diet phase we can make it through anything. Can we all keep each other encouraged? I am willing to participate.

Yes, definitely need all the support

I have a lot of family and friend support but sometimes I like getting on here and reading what others are dealing with or if I can give someone else support. I am so glad that my surgeon suggested this site. I have learned and found out that I am not the only one going through this.

Why are you having second thoughts? Do you think that you are not mentally prepared for the changes we will have to make? I had a hard time at first, but I feel that will all of the reading I have been doing and slowly getting things that I will need has helped me tremendously. I will be more than happy to be your sleeve buddy if you think that will help. Please understand I am an older lady (Just turned 61), but I am one heck of a listener, I became a first time mom at the age if 53 and not to just one but 2 little ones, I never seem to do what others my age do. Yes, I am trying to make a funny but rest assured I will be here if you need me.

Ten also, but I've been on one since April 29th! My original surgery date was May 9th but it didn't happened because my liver didn't shrink enough. My new date is June 7th. I'm so ready & so over chicken broth! My Protein Drinks keep me full so it's not that bad.


I'm terrified of going in and my liver didn't shrink enough so I'll have to reschedule, my original date was april 26th but the surgery was rescheduled for June 7th bc something came up and he wouldn't be in the office. If you don't mine my asking, did they start surgery and see they couldn't do it or by ultrasound or something?

My surgeon actually started surgery! It wasn't until he got the instruments in when he realized that he wasn't going to be able to complete the surgery. I was devastated! I didn't find out until I was taken back to my room. My advice would be to stay on your liquid diet and try to loose as much weight as you can.

Thank you so much! My pre op diet isn't al liquid, its Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch, and then a Greek yogurt or Protein Bar for snack (twice a day) and then dinner is 6 ounces of meat, 1 cup cooked vegetables and 1/2 cup starch. So I'm on day 5 of my 2 weeks and I've already lost 6.6 pounds so I'm hoping it's working lol I'm terrified of that happening, bc I have had some slip ups to be honest. But I hope all goes well on surgery for you![emoji173]️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
