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!

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 ...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
