I mean the RTD Premier Protein strawberry. My Walmart doesn't carry premier Protein at all. :(

You can also order on the Walmart website, and there's actually a combo option (so you can order three packages) at a very slightly cheaper price than in-store or individually. https://www.walmart.com/co/Premier-Protein-Shake-Bundle-12-Count-Choice-of-Flavors/47222977

Since my surgery, all I’ve been drinking is the RTD ISO-PURE Zero Carb Protein juice. It’s just easier to drink right now. I haven’t gotten the nerve/gut to want to drink the powder Protein Drinks right now. Hopefully I will soon, Because that ISO-PURE is like $4.50 a bottle!

I've stated on BariPal and swear by Premier Protein pre-made shakes. I cannot do powders as no matter how well it is blended I still feel the clumps and grittiness of it. Premier Protein pre made shakes have many flavors.

Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry & Cream, Caramel, banana & Cream, Peaches & Cream, and the best one Oreo & Cream. They are very cheap at either Sam's Club or costco around $16.66 for a 12 pack at most. Other places they are really expensive.

The nutrients are phenomenal. They are only 11 oz but contain 30g of protein!!! Also, only 1g of sugar, 160 calories, 5g of carbs, and 3g of fat. Not to mention 24 Vitamins and minerals listed at bottom.

They are creamier than ever and mix very well with Decaf coffee.

(Vitamin A, D, K, B6, B12, C, E, Calcium, Riboflavin, Pantothenic Acid, Iodine, Zinc, Copper, Chromium, Iron, Thiamin, Niacin, Folate, Biotin, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Selenium, Manganese, Molybdenum.)

At this rate I could be a spokesperson for them I am such a fan. However, keep in mind I HATED Protein drinks before finding these after 4 years of searching for one I could tolerate.

So funny and exactly why I recommend everyone keep trying because there are SO MANY kinds! I can’t choke down a Premier Protein on a bet! Too “creamy” for me because it feels syrupy. I prefer thinner and the powders are where it’s at for me. They don’t feel gritty/chalky to me at all.

You drink Syntrax matrix right?

I've used that stuff so much for mugcakes but have never tried it in an actual shake. Is it any good with Water? Skim milk?

Those things have been a lifesaver for me! I was doing fine on powders and premier before my surgery, but after anything milky or chalky was making me sick. They are expensive, but I’m so glad there’s an option with a lot of protein that I can tolerate. And I figure I was spending way more than $5 for a meal before surgery, so maybe it’s not too bad?[emoji16]

I always compare what I’m buying now to what I WAS spending on food! It’s still cheaper now even though it seems like what we’re buying costs a lot more!

I do! And I mix it with Water. Earlier in the process I used fairlife milk to get in extra calories and Protein but these days I mix with water when I use it, mostly because it’s so easy to carry around and you can always find a bottle of water to pour in the shaker bottle!

That said, that’s what I personally like! Others might find it gritty or chalky.... I don’t but I don’t like thick shakes, they make me gag. Everyone’s preferences are different. But the cool thing about the powders is you can mix to your preferred consistency by adding more or less liquid!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
