Hi!

My doctor wants me drinking 3 of the Premier Protein shakes a day, however I’m not doing too great with them! For some reason they just feel too heavy for me to tolerate and I just feel super queasy after. Does anyone else have this experience with these particular shakes? Anything that helps?? I saw they make a juice version of the premier Protein which is a little less protein but I’m thinking it might be worth a try.

Hello I've seen that they have protein Water not necessarily Premier brand but you might want to try that, I've also diluted my Protein Drinks with water.

You can also dilute them with skim milk

diluting is a good idea. You could also use Water and count it toward your required Fluid intake, I LOVED Premier Protein shakes before surgery. I bought 4 cases on sale at costco. But..... after surgery, they were just too sweet. Tasted like chocolate syrup! So poor hubby took the unopened cases back.

They are considered a Meal Replacement - not just a Protein supplement, How long does your doctor want you to keep on 3 shakes a day?

I had that same problem. But my surgeon only allowed 4 ounces, as that counted as a meal. The Cookies & Cream flavor, for some reason, hurt my stomach. After that, I started making my own Protein Shakes using Isopure Protein Powder.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
