Protein Tablets?



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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 ;)

I just tried one called carnivor Liquid Protein and I like it better than whey. Got it at GNC.< /p>

I periodically get Protein to Go shots. 28 grams per shot. Walgreens, Dollar General or online at proteintogo.com. (get the ones without caffeine!)

      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!
