Success2013 186 Posted March 31, 2013 Has anyone used these long term? My Nut suggested them for only the first 2-3 days post op. she said they were not a good nutritional value long term. I couldn't stomach them that first week. Now after over 2 months post op I can tolerate them if I pour it in a glass and chug it down quickly. even still they make me nauseous, but 42 grams of Protein is hard to beat. Any thoughts? I'm thinking of ordering the variety pack from Amazon.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

makemyownluck 785 Posted March 31, 2013 Protein shots aren't good, according to my NUT anyway. perhaps you're feeling nauseous because you're chugging them down? drinking too fast, maybe? powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury makes an "unflavored" powder, you could add it to sugar free Jello or pudding. 2 Jenuine629 and No game reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted March 31, 2013 Well I'd say if you don't really like them, then don't buy them... They look kinda gross ! Lol Plus the body is said to only be able to metabolize about 30 grams at once anyway... 1 gettinsleeved reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mark! 449 Posted March 31, 2013 Actinase [Patent Pending Blend Of Enzymatically Hydrolyzed (Predigested) Collagenic Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate, Casein Protein Isolate. Yeah, the "blend" of protein isn't going to supplement your needs like many want it to. Plus the amino breakdown of a liquid Protein sitting on a shelf is going to wreak havoc on the structure of the Proteins. It's a waste of money. I guess if it's all you can do to get one of these in, it'd be better than nothing (to some people, but in all honesty it's a junk protein you're going to crap out later). You can put these in the same category as the "ultra mega fat burner pills" they sell at wal mart. But hey, if you like drinking pig skin and cow bones for the Gelatin make up, more power to ya!

makemyownluck 785 Posted March 31, 2013 How do u guys get the little body wt ticker to show up on here? hi Sherrie! To add a ticker: click your username at the top right and the menu will pop up. Go to "My Tickers". If you haven't already created one, create one. You can choose what it looks like and what it's tracking "actual weight, BMI, body fat, or even countdown to a specific date, if you want) Once it's done, there will be an option to "Add to my signature" and it will automatically add to the bottom of your signature. You can create multiple tickers. You decide which ones you want in the signature. If you want to move it to a different part of your signature (like mine, I didn't want it at the bottom), from settings go to My Profile, click "Edit Profile" and on the left you'll see 'Signature'. Click that and you can edit the signature. Your ticker is coded in brackets that start 'sharedmedia' so you can just cut/paste that where ever you want it to show in your signature. You can then update the ticker whenever you need to by going back into "My Tickers", click "Edit Ticker" and click "4. Properties" and change the value of your current weight. Save that and the ticker will automatically update in your signature. It may sound like a lot of steps, but really, once you create it and add it to your signature, it's just a matter up updating the properties to show your progress. Hope that helps! 3 No game, Sherriews@yahoo.com and JerseyGirl68 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wcn1970 239 Posted April 2, 2013 I use them, only to supplement some Protein. I hbe used them for years. If I drank enough shakes and ate enough meat to reach my protien goals I would ingest 2000 calories a day. Don't slam it. Sip it over an hour and make sure they are cold. Nut's don't want us drinking them so we don't really on them solely. 1 a day isn't bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggychic 1,405 Posted April 2, 2013 They are not a Protein your body can assimilate in the way it needs to for healthy weight loss. You might as well chew on your dog's nails and call that a protein shot....it's a total waste and you are kidding yourself if you add it into your protein goals for the day.
