Question???

they have whey Protein shots(made by body Fortress). It has 26g protien per serving they come in fruit punch flavor you down them like a shots(2oz) or you can mix them with your crystal light or whatever .

the reviews say they don't taste the greatest but they aren't gross either. They come in little viles that you can keep with you( kind of like the 5hr energy bottles but they are just protein packs) I thought that was a lot of protien and pretty easy to keep with you everyday after you have surgery. I saw a lot of people were having a few problems geting all thier protien in while they are healing. Has anyone tried them before? if so what did you think ?

hi d

i am using those (bullets) in order to get my Protein.

the fruit punch flavor is the best by far. i mixed it w/crystal light

and it did not taste that good. but you may like ir.

they have many flaovrs and some have like 47 grams of Protein and

those are very strong

I haven't had my surgery yet but I know I have a very weak stomach I have been trying different protien shakes but I haven't like any of the high protien ct shakes so I was thinkIng I can supplement with the shots I can gulp it down and it will stay but if I try to drink the shakes. I know it won't. so i'm just planning ahead. I didn't like the crystal light suggestion either it was in a review. I think I would just like to gulp it down I know if you don't get enough your hair will thin. Is the bullet made by the same company ? I'm going to look it up

Omg I am so gonna try these bullets. I loathe all of the Protein Shakes I have tried and it is a struggle not to gag while I drink them. I don't think I would mind little shots of Protein though. So glad I saw this!

I use the New Whey Protein shots 42 grams in 3.8 oz. Walmart sells them. I find that they are good mixed with crystal light. I will also blenderize ice and pour the protein/crystalight mixture over top....makes for a great slushy.

I do find that the powder Proteins hold off hungar longer. Thats probaly because most of the shots have collagen in them....My doctor didn't want me to use them for pre-op but was ok with them after surgery (week 4) because I would be getting Protein in through real food.

My doctor prefers whey isolate which is a higher quality Protein. The shots are whey but not isolate. I found they gave me horrible gas and seemed to go through me like a blow torch.

I was wondering what the difference was so collagen is not the best but isolated Protein. good to know

thanks

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
