Premier Protein Shakes!!!!
I had been having issues finding a shake I like.. by the way I am pre-op.. 3 weeks from surgery. So I found these awesome gems at Costco! So delicious!! They also sell them at Sams Club. he chocolate one tastes like chocolate milk. 160 cals, 1g of sugar and 30g of protein in an 11oz carton!! Must try these!! :)

I drank them during my 6 month pre-op diet. They're great. I am 4 weeks post-op today and I am still drinking them. They are the best tasting shakes that I have found, and the 30 g of protein is awesome! I also recommend them.

The trick is to see if they still taste good to you after surgery. Your tastes may change. I use a protein powder called sytrax nectar, the Fuzzy Navel flavor. I mix it with water so I get 23 grams of protein and 90 calories.
I also use the protein powders from sam's but just am not as crazy about mixing them with milk.
I liked them more before surgery. Good luck

I am almost 3 months post op and drink Premier as well. After my surgery I got so tired of them though, but they were still better than anything else I tried.
Now I have one each day for breakfast... If you start getting tired of them try adding a few Capella flavor drops and drinking them with lots of ice. It mixes up the flavor and doesn't get so thick, plus its another 8oz of water.
All the best!

I love those too! A week or so after my surgery I was trying to find some shake recs and saw someone (maybe Dave?) mention these awhile ago so I tried them. Before surgery, my favorites were the low-carb Atkins ones (I typically just drink the pre-made ones) and now I don't really like them. Plus the fact that the shake has 30g of protein makes it just seem nonsensical to drink a different shake.
I the nu whey protein shots prior to surgery and Now I can't stand them post op. The only protein shakes I can tolerate are the EAS ones and the premiers. I drink 1/2 premier at a time since they are so high protein and so high calorie. I tried muscle milk post op and thought I would rather die than drink those awful things. Djon't stock up pre op. Your taste buds will change completely. I can barely stand most of the foods I used to love pre op.......
