Have ordered some of the unjuiry samples also and seen some fairly good samples reasonable on someones post that looks like nice samples ,} Do have the bullets from walmart in watermelon there pretty sweet but tolerable

So you tried the watermelon bullets. I bought both watermelon and grape. Does it taste like watermelon? I hear the sweetness is pretty tough and I also hear we can mix them in Water. So I plan on drinking alil water out of the bottle and adding. I'm hoping it will taste almost like my water enhancers..

what are these bullets?

[StormWarning 194]

The bullets are quick Protein Shots. The ones I bought have 42 grams of Protein in a 3.something ounce shot. Easy way of reaching protein goals before and after surgery.

Yes i just opened one and took a sip of it, my curiosity gets to me, does taste like watermelon kooliaidy type, very sweet, it is tolerable. I just am not a real sweet type drink person but I can stomach it compared to that Six brands protien drink.

I wonder if we can take the bullets on plane with us? Does it have to be clamied as the 3-1-1 or how ever that is for liquids.< /p>

maybe I should leave them hear and buy some once we get into San Antonio...I am thinking of taking a water bottle, empty, till you go through security, then feeling it at water fountain for mixing with the different packets of crystal lite etc, but then ya have to also worry of going to the tiny little bathroom so much also...flying from utah to San antonio....will be so nice one day not to have to think of plane rides and fiting ok...asking for seat belt extensions etc...not fitting great in the seats...thank goodness hubby is going with me and next to me in the seat, the rows is just two seats together so much smaller plane

Anyone here from Texas? Fort Worth here! I am also having my surgery with Dr. Scott Stowers, anyone else?

[StormWarning 194]

Is your luggage only going to be carry on? I would ask Susan if they can go on the plane. I know according to the paperwork its recommended that we bring a few bullets with us, but not required. I for one have no idea why being they don't allow us anything but Ice chips afterwards until day 2 we can do some Water. Of course this may be different for everyone as well. Not sure.

Texas here as well. Further south, I'm below Austin. I am choosing to go to Mexico cause thats where the doctor I felt most comfortable with is.

HAPPY DANCE!!!!!!

I've been thinking about this for 10 years and started the process exactly a year ago.

I finally have a date! August 16th Kaiser West LA but I'm on a wait list if there's any cancellations soooo.... Yippeeee!!!!!

[mczoo33 72]

Dont think we will be able to take those watermelon bullets, they are 3.8 oz and requlations is 3.4 oz...so might have to buy them after the plane ride down....but I am also confused when you can even use them...maybe it is just incase as they do say bring them so need to find some under the weight, heck even bullets need to weigh lol.....

here is the plane regulations..

All liquids, gels and aerosols must be in 3.4 ounce (100ml) or smaller containers. Larger containers that are half-full or toothpaste tubes rolled up are not allowed. Each container must be 3.4 ounces (100ml) or smaller.

All liquids, gels and aerosols must be placed in a single, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag. Gallon size bags or bags that are not zip-top such as fold-over sandwich bags are not allowed. Each traveler can use only one, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag.

Each traveler must remove their quart-sized plastic, zip-top bag from their carry-on and place it in a bin or on the conveyor belt for X-ray screening. X-raying separately will allow TSA security officers to more easily examine the declared items.
