Queen of Crop 1,104 Posted March 29, 2012 At 5 months post - op it's clear to me that I simply cannot get all the Protein in that I need. I've seen some protein tablets advertised but I haven't heard any one talk about them here. Has anyone had their NUT recommend them, or taken them, or is there some reason we shouldn't? Any advice would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rootman 1,101 Posted March 29, 2012 These are a VERY expensive alternative, the ones I've seen are 1 gram of Protein each which means you'd have to eat 20-30 of them to get 20-30 grams of Protein.< /p> I'd recommend looking at the protein whey shots (drinks in a vial) they are way cheaper and although taste nasty can be downed in a few gulps.

Liberated Sleeve 148 Posted March 29, 2012 Yeah or you can also mix the Protein whey shots into your Water or cranberry juice or whatever and they don't taste as strong. I like the watermelon and blue raspberry ones best. 42g each. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluffylibra30 323 Posted March 29, 2012 I'm so glad I found the shots. I was struggling on Protein bad. They are gross, but not nearly as bad as the powders. Put them in the fridge and they are tolerable. I've never found blue rasberry. Where did you find them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bethany1987 66 Posted March 29, 2012 What are the brands y'all are using for the Protein shots? Is it something to buy online or do certain stores carry it? I'm so sick of Protein shakes!!! The brand I have tastes amazing, but I only like it with milk and milk is just so filling I can't stand it. Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cissiesue 119 Posted March 29, 2012 It takes your body hours and hours to process more than 20ish grams of Protein at a time. So if you use those shots, take only half at a time, and wait at least two hours, and then take the rest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teamthin 7 Posted March 29, 2012 Does someone know a good brand that I can order online? Like from Amazon. I live overseas so I can go to Walmart or any stores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought the Whey Protein Shots but my dietician and surgeon stated that they are not the protein needed since they are made mostly of collagen which is does not absorb well. The Protein needed must be animal based not collagen based. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bethany1987 66 Posted March 30, 2012 Those Protein shots are expensive! $3 a peice! I'm just thinking if I'm drinking something once or twice a day that adds up! and maybe I'm a little frugal lol Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Finding Myself 146 Posted March 31, 2012 I just tried one called carnivor Liquid Protein and I like it better than whey. Got it at GNC.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
