Please don't say something cautionary about a product WITHOUT DIRECT PROOF. UNLESS IT HAPPENED TO You, it's a rumor, and when put in writing, it is LEGALLY libelous. We have freedom of speech, but libel and slander laws exist for a reason. Please cite your source.

I have NEVER heard this allegation. Such rumors could keep people from doing something that could save lives.

Further, the company could take action against you AND this group.

Great point Diane!

Premier Protein cafe latte is the BEST you must try!!!
All of the premier shakes I add ice to them and I put them in my favorite coffee mug, it’s like I’m drinking an ice coffee. Very easy going down and enjoyable

Is it okay to have the cafe latte since it has caffeine? I thought caffeine was a no no for a while after surgery. Let me know if you know, I am sure that flavor is the only one I will really like over a period of time. Thanks!

It’s ok when caffeine is cleared for consumption. It’s really tasty!

Surgery is Monday can anyone share the protein shake they found the most manageable for those first 2 weeks till you felt you could make and doctor your own?

For me it was pre made premier protein and I still drink them today. I enjoy them, I put mine over ice to water in down a bit and less sweeten it.
I have never made any because it’s too much work lol

I too relied on Premier Protein shakes (ready made) to make it easy on myself.

I love the premier protein shakes. My fave is chocolate! Still drinking them 2.5 months post op. I also hear the cafe latte is really good but it does contain caffeine. Still haven’t added caffeine back into my diet.

Had some set backs but I hope to add a shake today. Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm 13 days pre surgery. I researched extensively because my body doesn't like any artificial sweetener. I found MET-Rx Natural Whey Protein Powder on Amazon which only has Stevia. The price was incredible so I got 15 pounds. The chocolate was the only one specially priced. (since gone up). I had been adding frozen Blueberries or Bananas and was afraid that I wouldn't like it without. Yesterday was my first day on liquid diet and I thought it was delish. I also added to plain Greek yogurt and it taste like chocolate pudding.

Have you looked at Unjury unflavored? I can't do most sweetners as it triggers migraines. I use this fine.

Does unjury unflavored mix well with hot and cold?

I have baked it in food, mixed it in smoothies and my iced coffee, pancakes and other things.

I prefer any vanilla protein powder, since I like to doll up my food and increase the protein grams. That's my daily goal--get 50 to 70 grams of protein, then relax and enjoy the food I eat the test of the day.

I can add peanut butter powder, vanilla and believe it or not, sno-cone flavorings! I love malted milk, chocolate, and other sweets.

I also get unflavored and add savory seasonings or a dab of tomato paste. There are so many packets of dry flavoring mixes, I never get bored. Cold, heated, stirred into soup or sprinkled onto veggies or salads--It's all good!

Your imagination is your only limitation.

Thanks Diane. When you say so many packets of dry flavored mixes what do you mean? Protein powder or things to mix in? Or both lol!
