Whey Liquid Protein Shots - Which Are Best



Recommended Posts

Its a long story but between my taste buds and EXTREME stress off the charts i'm not getting hardly any Protein and go days without eating.

I was thinking about trying the Protein liquid shots they sell at GNC or Walmart. Has anybody tried these? I figured I could take it like a little kid with medicine but would prefer the best product for the nasty taste (i'm sure).

I know they're expensive but my health is really starting to suffer.

Thank you.

fruit punch and Watermelon were my favs. Mixing the fruit punch with some diet V8 and Water to dillute it...TASTED GREAT. none of that funky Protein after taste.

The Vitamin Shoppe. If you don't have one near you, I know they have a website you can order from and the orders are supposed to go out same day and if u spend $25, shipping is free. I've heard GNC sells them too.

Just make sure they are whey Protein with no casein Protein. That stuff is worthless to us sleevers.

Search the site and Google for casein

As far as I know, even the ones that say "whey" in the name of the shot contain no actual whey Protein in them. They are of no nutritional value. The protein will not help you. Don't drink them. Even my NUT didn't know this.

Hey butterbean could you please explain? I was thinking of getting some of these too. Why is this way useless to us. I thought that we should be consuming whey protein and not others.

thanks

My NUT said to stay away from those ...she said what Butterthebean said. Have you tried the Isopure Zero carb drinks? Those have 40g of Protein a bottle and it will help get liquids in too so you dont get dehydrated. Your best bet is to dilute those and ive heard on here people add a little crystal light. My fav is the alpine punch. I hope you figure something out and starting feeling better!

You should be consuming whey Protein, but the Protein Shots don't actually contain any whey in them, at least none of the ones I've seen. They have "whey" in the name but if you read the ingredients they will have some other type of protein....usually casein or some proprietary blend that doesn't contain enough whey to make a difference. Whey Protein should be the first ingredient on the package if you are wanting whey protein.

Again, unless there is some brand I'm not aware of. Check the ingredients to be sure.

They will say "Whey" in the name and contain something like 5% Whey Protein and the rest is casien, which is fine for body builders, not sleevers who need absorption a little quicker than what casien provides.

REALLY?! well now I've sat there and looked at the bottle, it doesn't give a percentage but yeah I spose that's true. My doctor told me these were the better option, hell, he sells them at his practice. I used them the first week. I havent used them since then but REALLY!? WTH? lol I need to do some research now. Why would the doctor suggest them though? lol

If he is selling them in his office, he is getting a cut of the action. Needless to say, never buy stuff out of the Dr office. Same thing goes for hair salons ... know what I mean?

I tried the shots at Walmart - I think they were called New Whey. They tasted like fruity prune juice left in a jug in the sun for 8 hours on a August afternoon in Texas. Even holding my breath couldn't help me get them down. But maybe that's just me. I stick with the Premier Protein from Sam's with 30 gms of Protein.< /p>

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
