I'm 2 months post op and was in the same situation. What I started doing was cutting them in 1/2 with a unsweetened Coconut milk, some fruit, and a scoop of the unflavored Whey protein powder. To keep the sugar low but add flavor, I use strawberries or blueberries with the vanilla shakes and the PB2 w/ the chocolate shake and ice...they are tasty and change the taste/consistency of the Premier Shakes. I basically use the Premier Shakes as a base, and add things to it.
(Tip: Buy a Magic Bullet mini. It's the perfect size so you don't end up with left over shake and they are super easy to clean. I use mine everyday. )

I don't have an answer for this, but I have the same question. I have my final pre-op nutritionist appointment today and plan to ask. I'll let you know what she says.
Edited: So here's what she said. The surgeon at my office doesn't make reference to vitamins on the paperwork because every patient is different. Also, needs may change over time, so vitamin intake will change. She told me that he'll discuss all of that at my pre-op appointment next week, so I can ask him about what kind of schedule he wants me on.
She said as long as I don't take my iron and calcium together, and try to take any and all vitamins with food, I shouldn't have to worry about it.

I was just curious what most peoples calorie intake was around this time?
Im not sure if calorie is even important.
I consume plenty of protein throughout the day and lots of water. my protein is mostly my premier protein shakes... I just cant seem to consume enough of solid proteins without being ill.
about three weeks ago I think I was consuming an average of 600 calories a day thereabouts and today when I totaled out my intake (its been awhile since I logged my food) I came in at 800 calories......
am I consuming too much?
my sugars were almost at 30g. and my protein is at 75+.... I avoid starchy foods, and bread/grains/carbs......
Just curious to see where others are at?
i haven't found any research regarding when the best time of day to take vitamins is, and whether they should be taken with food or on an empty stomach. I found a couple things that were written for non-ops...but since we have changed everything surgically I doubt this applies to RNY patients. Has anyone found a reputable source for this information? How and when were you instructed to take your vitamins?

What about the number of carbs per serving? Mine has 15 carbohydrates per serving and I am not sure if that's too high...
Love my eggs now . Early on could not tolerate. I bought an egg steamer from QVC and I like the textur better. I love egg salad too. One eggs fills me up so I'm good as lunch breakfast or just a snack
I am about a week out as well and cannot tolerate the sweetness of the shakes either. I did find that if you mix the chocolate with some of the Peanut butter powder(PB2), that helped to curb the sweetness and made them a bit better. Also tried freezing them in little cups and that I could at least get down. I have been doing the broth with powder too to try to get my protein in.
I'm 7 weeks out and I don't mind the flavours, but the Premier Protein shakes are now making me nauseous for some reason. I tried mixing whey protein powder in lactose frree skim milk, but I got nauseous. I think I'm lactose intolerant, because milk with lactose makes me nauseous, but lactose free milk goes down fine. I'm not sure what will work. I'm sort of in the same boat. It's difficult for me to get my 60g of protein in with food still.
I'm thinking I will try a vegan protein supplement to see if the nausea goes away.
I am officially 1 week post op from my vsg/gall bladder/hernia surgeries (YAY), and I have been drinking the premier protein shakes for the last 3 weeks now.. in the beginning, I really enjoyed the flavors, but, now.. I am struggling SO hard to drink them. I don't know what the deal is but every sip I take makes me want to throw up. I start my full liquids diet tomorrow and will have to start fitting 60gm of protein in my diet I'm trying to come up with some sort of plan (yes, I'm a planner) that I can follow that's actually achievable for me. I went ahead and made black bean soup and pureed it to death so I know there's a good amount of protein in there, and I have unflavored protein powder to add to any other soup etc that I eat (drink) but as far as the premier goes, is there ANY way to.. I don't know.. add something else to it to make it taste different (better) etc.. what has everyone else done? I'm allowed to venture out and try different sources of protein and I'm working on that but for the moment, I have to be able to drink this stuff somehow.
Thank you in advance!
