Not all Protein is the same. The shots have "animal" Protein not all whey. Do some research you will be surprised at all the stuff that is put into some products. Myself I don't think they are worth it. But whatever works for you is what matters.

I love the Protein shots! I mix a fruit punch shot with crystal light fruit punch! They are $ 1.99 each. I prefer them over the Isopure. Yuck.....

Some Protein shots contain bad Protein your body can't absorb (collagen). You're just throwing money away. I believe "New Whey" shots available at Walmart and other places was the main culprit. "New Whey" being the name of the shot, not necessarily the ingredients. :P

The bariatric shots posted earlier in this thread also contain collagen as their first ingredient.

My mom bought these for me immediately post op. As someone else said, more tolerable than Isopure but still pretty nasty. I had to majorly dilute it with Powerade 0 and still couldn't drink much of it. I'm not the best to talk to, I didn't do well with my week of clear liquids... didn't cheat, just didn't get the Protein I needed. I cannot attest to anything the other posters mentioned, not sure. Ironically, I'm getting my gallbladder out tomorrow and on Clear Liquids again for 24 hours. My mom mentioned buying me some more of the shots. I'm going to have to have her check things out before she buys them now.

the shots to me where sooooooooo gross they are thick and have this sour weird taste to them I could hardly ever get them down but maybe you can do it!!! Try the Unjury Protein Shakes I think there really good compared to other protien shakes!!

Sorry y'all...but whether they taste good or not is irrelevant. They are of no nutritional value to you. The collagen Protein will not be absorbed and you will not receive the protein your muscles need to prevent a catabolic state...meaning your body will burn your muscles for fuel. You need high quality, fast absorbing protein to prevent this. whey is the best, fast absorbing protein you'll find. Collagen is of no use.

I was about to chime in and say the same thing, but BTB beat me to it. Yep, those shots are a waste of your time and your money. Investing the time and energy into finding a Protein shake you like and want to drink is worth it because the Protein will help you in the long haul. It's HARD to get enough protein in on diet alone, and it's worse if you're hitting the gym to get fit at the same time and need even more.

There are hundreds of options out there - don't quit just because you've tried one or two things made one or two ways and didn't like them.

Good luck,

      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.
