Protein Shake 911=Premier



Recommended Posts

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 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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
