Yesterday I had my first post-op dr. visit (surgery was 8/19). When asked what protein shake I was drinking, I told the PA "Premier Protein". She nearly had a heart attack. While she was never rude or nasty, she was very firm and clear that I should NEVER drink that "junk" and I should ONLY be drinking Unjury Unflavored powder - which she made me order during our visit! I thought this was so odd. I went thru the bariatric program at another hospital before changing at the last minute, and PP shakes were not only acceptable with that program, they were encouraged, so I bought two cases of it at Costco pre-surgery. I didn't want to waste it, so that's why I'm trying to use it up. Any idea why this program is being so incredibly strict about only being able to drink a certain protein? I realize programs vary, but this seems unreasonable.

I am also appalled that she made you purchase it during your appointment ... very unprofessional. I use Celebrate Vitamins protein and they are whey protein isolate also.

Back in the early 2000s there as a protein powder that advertised here that everyone said tasted like NesQuick chocolate powder. Turns out NesQuick chocolate powder was the main ingredient, and the company got into huge legal trouble.

I didn't worry much as my program didn't include protein drinks.

But it did teach me to research any product or program that I counted on for my health.

Don't believe product claims.
