Has anyone bought the Premier Protein shakes variety packs on Amazon? If so is it worth it to try the flavors?

I definitely have and found that vanilla is my go to because I can mix it with many different skinny syrups to change the flavor or what I’m in the mood for and if I want Proffee it’s best to stick with.

With all the nervousness I’m sure time is flying faster than lightning. I looked up Premier Protein shake ideas on Pinterest and got a bunch of great ideas.

good luck 😊

Just got my surgery date! RNY w/ hiatal hernia repair on 9/25. Anyone else with this date? This is the first time I will be having surgery since my wisdom teeth were removed in high school (I’m 44 now)

I haven't bought the variety pack but I buy smaller packs of 4 at Walmart of a ton of different flavors when they're in stock. If I want chocolate, vanilla, or caramel I can buy the big pack at Sam's. My Sam's Club also just started carrying the Fairlife chocolate ones so I may get those next week when I start my liquid phase.

I can't believe how quickly time is passing by. It's just around the corner.

I lucked out because I bought BioTrust Protein Powder and didn't like it (plant Protein has higher carbs than I'd like and I think it was kinda blah) but my co-worker just offered to buy it off of me for what I paid for it which is a huge blessing. It seems like everytime I think I have a hiccup in my plan it smooths itself out. So I'm starting to stress less.

Still stressing and having some sleep issues because of it. And I keep losing my retainers and waking up grinding my teeth which is making me stress about cracking a tooth before surgery. I'm a mess. I'm an overthinking, overstressing, overexpecting mess.

Pre op diet started today and it hasn’t been too bad. I just make sure I keep drinking or grab some Jello or a sugar free popsicle when I feel thoughts of food creeping in. My dinner consisted of 1 cup of green Beans and 2 oz of chicken breast and it was actually pretty filling. 13 more days to go 🙂

I’m getting the sleeve Sept 1! Been on liquid diet a week tomorrow. Who wants to be weight loss buddies?? Anyone want to email - mine is tammydalcourt@msn.com

Oh I'm sure you're getting really excited. How bad has the liquid diet been for you so far? I'm nervous about that part. I know how I can be so it's going to take a herculean effort not to cheat while I'm doing it.

I have a pre-op appointment today to go over everything and she'll tell me to start the liquid diet I'm sure. I was planning on starting it on Monday. I even went and got 8 oz. juice bottles from Amazon so I can divvy out what I'm allowed to have. I'm supposed to drink 4 Protein Shakes, 2 bottles of liquid IV and 16 ounces of OJ, and then whatever assorted non-caloric beverages I want over the course of a day. Looking at it spread out in a schedule like it is in my binder makes it look like a whole lot of drinking but looking at it in a small list makes me anxious because I'm afraid I'm going to starve. It's really cutting down on my sugars that is gonna be hard, I know I'm a sugar addict.

Getting nervous and excited.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
