Premier Protein Recipes
Was browsing the web for protein shots and found this...
http://www.premiernutrition.com/recipes.html
Most recipes don't really apply to us until later down the road, but I thought they had interesting ways of using premade shakes and shake mix. I think I'm gonna taste test the pancakes on my kids.
Let me know if you have recipes to share. I have a feeling that these protein supplements will get boring soon.
Also, I didn't know premier made a powder.
The first two weeks I used premier premade shakes 30gm protein. And I had Unjury chicken soup 21gm protein (it's vegetarian, and tastes good) once a day, and I would try and get in a glass of water, with crystal light and a scoop of unflavored Unjury 20gm protein.
Now I'm using pure protein powder double scoop (that's what the doc told me to do) 50gm protein, It's cheaper than the premade shakes and doc says I can have milk products to mix it with (finally). Still doing the unflavored Unjury (most days) and Unjury Chix soup (everyday).
Went online today to see if I could find a more concentrated protein supplement , like 15-20gm protein per 1oz liquid. Found a couple, will let you know if they taste decent.
My Friend Shelley (aka pumkindoodle) gave me Proteinex (pix below) to try....ggaaaag...they almost made me puke. Can't do them. It's 1oz and 18gm protein, but taste like ****!
I am taking OPURITY vitamins. I order them from the same site as the Unjury products.
PROS:
1. You only take once a day
2. They are made for Bariatric patients
3. They use better ingredients than cheap vitamins
4. Reasonably priced
5. They are chewable
CONS:
1. They only come in one flavor (it's sour, but I like sour)
2. They are REALLY big (have to bite in half and eat one half then eat the other right after)
3. The website only offers muti vit and calcium, no other vitamins
Sian takes ones from Celebrate vitamins. She said she likes them. Not sure which flavors she takes.
Still have my fingers crossed for your surery date phone call

Yeah, I get the celebrate vitamins. I found the prices reasonable for being specifically bariatric vitamins and I could justify the cost (above regular vitamins) because I won't be spending nearly as much money on food!! LOL
Celebrate has a bigger variaty of flavors for the vitamins, plus they do B12 sublinguals (although I just get those from CVS), they have Vita D, Calcium, Iron +C, and others. I bought a couple of bottles of different flavors just so I can mix it up and not get tired of the same old thing.
www.celebratevitamins.com and go to the shop area. You can email them for a sample pack free of charge, if you want to taste them again.
