So there is an article on this site about the Premier Protein Shakes and the protein content being bunk. I have been living on these pre op and up until the soup phase just this week, and am still drinking them just because I have them. But it worries me that I and others may suffer from the lack of protein if the protein content is not accurate, which is supposed to be 30 grams per shake. Things like hairloss because of a protein deficit. Anyone else using Premier? What kind should I switch to?

Here is the article: https://www.bariatricpal.com/magazine/701-premier-protein-–-not-premier-for-bariatric-patients/

I for one think 26-29 gram is still great, I also know it balanced my blood sugars well when I had gestational diabetes and paired with a carb.

I already knew whey is best but for me, drinking it is best and premier protein is easiest for me to get, find and drink

I agree with @OIRachel, 26-29 grams per drink is still a decent amount. Just make sure some of your protein is coming from other sources besides premier.

I'm a huge fan of the unflavored unjury powder.

The article says "less than 1% of the product is “whey protein concentrate.” Whey protein is the type of protein that you should be looking for because it absorbs more quickly than casein." In stage 1 the liquid phase, it is hard to get your protein from any other sources besides the fact that I bought so much of it. I was worried about damage done, but now that I'm out of stage 1 and doing soups and able to add a scoop of protein I am glad.. I will continue to use them, but cautiously, since I have them, but I hope that Premier isn't lying about anything else about the product. Disappointed.
