Protein Shots (2.9 oz)-anyone tried these???



Recommended Posts

I am anticipating my first fill on the 28th and wondering how tight I will be and how will I get in enough Protein if I can't drink an 8 oz shake. I found these "protein shots" at walgreens. Has anyone tried them???

Yes, to me, they have a bitter after taste. So, I bought the orange flavored and added them to my orange juice. Personally, I just prefer to use the UNflavored Unjury Protein Powder. I add it to my o.j. and NO after taste ~ good luck ~

How much Protein powder do you have to put in your juice? Is it 1 tablespoon or 2 or 3...? The protein powder i tried tasted terrible and barely would dissolve even in Soup because I had to use so much.

I was told by dr and nutritionist that the shots do not contain the right Protein and do not absorb well in the body. I also had a bad reaction on my tongue. If you have the new whey the first ingredient is not even protein its Water.< /p>

I think the Protein Shots taste horrible. What a terrible thing to force yourself to do. On the Protein shakes... don't drink all 8 oz at once. If you drink 3 oz an hour during waking times you will get your needed protein. Don;t force large volumes at one time. Sip, sip, sip!

Yes I tried them and no matter what you put them in or what flavor you get they are horrible. Mine came up as fast as it went down. YUCK

The liquid Multivitamin I got at Complete Nutrition was $42 a bottle and I literally almost throw up every day when I drink it now. I can't take it anymore! Totally gross to me.

I take them with me when I travel....being able to eat good band friendly foods on the road is difficult, so I use these to

get my Protein and not worry about eating all that much.....

Centrum now makes an adult chewable...it's cheaper than the speciality Vitamins. As bandsters we don't have any mal- absorption , so a general multi usually is sufficient ...

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
