Premier Protien Shakes

Hi Everyone, 

I have lost 30lbs since I started the liquid diet two weeks prior to my surgery on 9/2. I have been drinking the premier shakes to try and get some of my protien in each day and suddenly about a week ago, I just started having trouble getting them down. Has anyone else experienced this? And what did you drink/eat to get in all the protien you need?

I had something like this happen only it wasn't with premier thank God. I to this day cannot drink almond milk and keep it down. idk why our bodies do this but I understand. maybe try a different flavor or EAS Adventedge is a good one too.

Thank you.

Hi happydaze73,

Sorry to hear you are having issues with your protein source.  Here is a link to a great article about what you eat when after RNY.  Check with your surgeon's office as each surgeon can be different on what they want you to eat when.....

Phase II: Full Liquid Diet

1. On discharge from the hospital you will start the full liquid diet.

2. You will stay on the full liquid diet for 1-2 weeks unless directed otherwise by your surgeon and dietitian.

3. To prevent nausea and vomiting, drink liquids slowly. Sip ¼ cup (2 oz) of liquid over 30 minutes. You do not have to finish everything. When you feel full, stop!

4. Drink at least 6-8 cups of water or low-calorie drinks between high-protein beverages. Remember to avoid carbonation, caffeine and citrus.

5. Take your prescribed multi-vitamin/mineral supplements and calcium as instructed.

6. Make sure you keep track of the kind and amount of high-protein beverages you drink. Remember, you need a minimum of 60 grams of protein each day.

The following are examples of protein sources that should be included on the Full Liquid Diet:
1 cup Fat free or 1% milk = 8 g protein
1 cup Soy milk or lactose-free milk (Lactaid or Dairy Ease) = 8 g protein
No-sugar-added breakfast drink made with fat-free or 1% milk (Carnation Instant Breakfast) = 12 g protein
Strained cream soup made with milk (no tomato, mushroom or corn pieces) = 8 g protein
Commercial supplements as suggested by your surgeon or dietician

To help boost protein intake, add non-fat powdered milk to the above list of liquids.
(1 Tbsp = 3 grams of protein, 25 calories)

Thank you.

I really like Optimum Nutrition's Double Rich Chocolate protein powder.  I mix it with unsweetened almond milk.  

Thank you.

Yes, at about a month out the Premier protein shakes started making my stomach hurt. I still drink them but it takes me an hour. If I drink them any faster then my stomach hurts. I add Genepro to a lot of things to get my protein in. I also like the Unjury Chicken soup flavored protein mix.

Thanks. I have tried the Unjury Chicken Soup just not since my surgery. I'll try it again and I'll look up the Genepro. 

Thanks again, 

Turn them into pudding cups... http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2016/07/premi er-protein-shakes-5-unexpected.html :)
