I've never seen them but check the label and make sure it is whey Protein.< /p>

I haven't found one that uses whey Protein yet... all the ones I have seen use collagen.

O.T.R. Sleever is a good person to ask about this if you see him around.

Is it okay to do the Protein Shots instead of the shakes?

Here is a link to one of the many discussions on these Protein Shots.

My surgeon is really against them. What you to get your protien from food. Dr. Garth Davis in Houston. Beans fruits and veggies and some meat. They do taste horrible!

I just tried one,it was okay,a kind of bitter sweet taste,but I can tolerate it. I'm three wks post op and just can't get in all my Protein, so I guess I'll have to settle for this,at least I will get a large amount of protein in one shot.

I am also taking Protein shots(started yesterday). I know people are against it because its not completely whey isolate protein but there are some of us out there who just cannot consume the amount of protein that our respective surgeons have told us to. I'm 17 days post op, can barely get in half a bottle of Isopure and can barely drink 12 oz of water..there has to be an alternative to ready made Protein Drinks and shakes. These Protein Shots seem like a better alternative because there's less to consume.

My nut said its fine to use them to add more Protein to my diet. I struggle to eat meats in an amount that gives me my protein for the day so I drink a half of a shot a day to add to my diet. I also drink a shake first thing in the am that it 30 grams. Just remember your body can only absorb 30 g at a time.

      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.

        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!
