I am going to go to the store tomorrow and get appropriate foods for weeks 1-4. I am going to try and make the best of it. I love jello, milk and yogurt so it shouldnt be that bad. I found Premier protein shakes on Amazon. Anyone have any thoughts on Premier Protein drinks?

Congrats! I'm just ahead of you, 5/7. My pre-op and post--op seems so different from anyone else's. I bought my Premier Protein today but I won't start that until the 2nd week post op. It's only clear liquids now until surgery. Then I can add protein water for the first week post op. Wish I could help but I haven't tried the Premier Protein yet.

I like Premier Protein compared to many other shakes I’ve tried. It still takes a moment to get used to it. One reviewer mentioned that the Premier Protein chocolate shakes taste like chocolate milk and I was expecting that taste. Whoops. Not exactly. They taste like an attempt at chocolate milk but made with water. I prefer the chocolate over the other varieties. I like the vanilla EAS Lean 15. Small amounts of dry jello powder can be added to make various flavors, like cherry, and adding ice and mixing in a blender adds something new to food plan.

Oh, and I’ll be keeping you@maofmany and@apositivelife4me in thought and prayer as you have you surgery. [emoji272]

Thank you! The jello tip is great too!

I'm eight days post op....sitting on my porch this morning sipping on my caramel Premiere shake. I have all the flavors and can't decide which is my favorite. I've been drinking them consistently for the past four months and they're the best that I found.

how many of you are using a blender to make shakes versus the already mixed in a container type of shakes?

I drank the pre-made Premier Protein shakes. I loved all of them too - pre op. My tastes changed post op. Milk products don’t sit well with my new belly. It’s good to prep for after surgery but keep all your receipts. You may need to take some things back.

I just got home from the grocery store. spent 225.00. I got 3 kinds of dry protein powder. I got soups, a blender, yogurts, gatorade, soy milk, regular milk, vitamins, sugar free jello. There are very small amounts of sugar in the protein powders. Will that be a problem?

Fairlife milk has more protein than regular milk. I'd suggest keeping your sugars as low as possible. Its a wonderful journey that you're on with all of us here cheering you on!

I got 1type of protein powder that has 60 g of protein per scoop. Not bad.

i just noticed that the Fage yogurt I got has 7 g of sugar per cup. Will that be ok?

@apositivelife4me
I think the sugar is supposed to be under 5 grams
