The only thing I have heard about these Protein shots was that the ones containing collagen are not good. That information I found on this site.

My dr & NUT told me only whey Protein with less then 5 carbs. I use Premier Protein...I like it best very cold.

Hopefully one of the experts will have more information...I will be 5 wks on Tuesday.

I got them figuring if I was having issues getting all Protein in I would use them. I tasted one and it is like syrup.... Sweetness and thickness!!! Blah!!!!! I did decide that I would use them by added a couple ounces to my crystal light and it made that taste like a Popsicle. Really over powered the flavor of the crystal light. I didn't mind it mixed up the flavored and gave me some extra protein. I wouldn't buy them again but will try to use what I have already in this way!

I got one in my 'going away goodie bag' the day I went home. I hated EVERY SINGLE Protein Powder I tried. I took three different ones back to GNC. The bullets saved me. The whey Protein is probably 'the gold standard' but my physician said these are fine. I never had a hair issue and was healthy. IDS brand at GNC is 42 grams of protein in just a little over 3 oz. I'd hold my nose and take a couple of sips 3x's a day, rinse my mouth out afterwards. Beat the heck out of a big Protein Shake that took me three hours to gag down. I started getting ALL my protein with food by two months out. Cottage cheese, eggs, tuna, Cod fish, chicken. I still keep a bag of frozen shrimp, it's easy to steam and easy to eat!

      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.

        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.

      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!
