Was shopping at Sam’s Club earlier today and discovered that Premier Protein now offers a Peaches and Cream flavor shake. I want to try it so bad, but I still have one box of vanilla, a box of banana, and a half box of strawberry. I will have to look for it in a four pack.

A lot of times Wal-Mart will carry the 4-packs, look for them near the Pharmacy department. Also I was told Kroger and some Rite Aid carry individual bottles. Wish Dollar General carried such items ,my,little town has no,less than 3 of them. More than 1 Goodwill but no Family Dollar. Sometimes it resembles the Simon and Garfunkle song" nothing but the dead and dying in my little town".

I got the peach at Sams on Wednesday. It is very good. Pretty sure that flavor is exclusive to Sams for now. They are also releasing a cookies and cream flavor for Sams from what I am hearing.

Sam's club accepts returns, you could exchange boxes of the old flavors for the new ones

My local Sam's club had both flavors available today. I want to try them both so bad but I can't handle protein shakes post op unless its the caramel one in coffee

I am just starting my optifast pre op diet. I will not be able to drink premier on the pre op diet or post op. Only certain shakes that will be allowed on my plan.

My mom is elderly and drinks the premier to increase protein. I got the box of peach for her and kept two to try myself.

Your surgical plan only allows one type of protein shake?

No. I will be given a list at one of my optifast classes. I already know that Premier is not on that list for post op protein supplement

Oh OK
Well you're not missing anything anyway, I could drink them pre op but now they seem too thick and sweet

I have heard that quite a bit. One of the reasons that I am not doing much stocking up pre op.

If Optifast is the only choice then your clinic/surgeon is somehow profitting from this exclusionary choice. Are you required to buy directly from the clinic itself, if so there is your red flag? (Kickbacks from sales reps) I have read where this happens a lot in Canada.

LOL, it's so funny how everyone is unique! I'm still loving my PP RTD drinks post surgery! I adore them in my coffee, and also mixed in Greek yogurt! YUM! Can't wait to try the peaches and cream!!! Thanks for the heads up.

I haven’t had surgery yet but was wondering why premier isn’t on your list if they gave you a specific reason.


Lovingleo

I haven't had any problems with premier post surgery, but do find that i like the caramel and vanilla less than I did preop and the chocolate more. Haven't tried the cookies and cream yet, but picked up the peach from Sams when I found out. It's good. The first sip was really a peach wow. That tapered as I continued to drink but I enjoyed it!

No. I will have lots of choices and can buy from where I choose. My pre op diet only is optifast because that is what my team has found works the best.

My group provides support and care for the rest of my life at no additional charge. They are far from scammers trying to milk what they can from everyone.
