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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
