I'm really glad you didn't like it. It is nutritionally garbage. It is a collagen base and is unusable by the human body.

My cardiologist put me on Pea Protein by SunWarrior. It's the "Warrior Blend" plant based protein. It's not delicious per se, but if I do Protein Shakes, it's usually not for taste or Meal Replacement, but energy for workout or just trying to keep my protein levels up. (which usually means i'm not eating quite right. :unsure: )

Those shots are horrible. It's like drinking Syrup and like OTR said- garbage.

No way!!! (hangs head in disappointment) Are they all not usable by the body? I found one that I can tolerate. It's not the best tasting of course, though, but I figured it would help me reach the quota on some days. Please tell me more. Thanks.

In our post op care book under the Protein section our NUTs state: It is not recommended to use the Protein "shots", "shooters" or "bullets" as they do not contain the appropriate protein source.

When it comes to picking an appropriate Protein shake they said to go with something that has "Whey Protein Isolate" or "Soy Protein Isolate" as the first ingredient. This should provide you with the amino acids that your body is going to need to build Proteins.

Hey Dooter....I used that warrior blend in my green shakes for a while. Very healthy stuff but I went back to the chocolate whey powder for better taste. Still, the Warrior blend is high quality protein, and an ideal choice for vegans.

I haven't tried them yet.

PDCAAS = 100

From the makers of the first Protein shot, Yes Whey™ is the first and only to use 100% pure whey Protein -- and nothing but whey protein.

Yes Whey was designed to help consumers feel at ease about the quality of protein they consume. While other companies boldly use the word 'whey' in their brands, Yes Whey is the first ready-to-drink protein shot made exclusively from whey protein. This guarantees that the protein going into your body has a PDCAAS* of 100, the highest quality rating a protein can receive.

Yes Whey contains 25 grams of whey protein, zero fat, zero carbohydrates, and 100 calories -- all in less than three Fluid ounces.

*PDCAAS: Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score

Amino Acid Profile

(Typical g/100g) Alanine 4.37 Arginine 2.02 Aspartic Acid 9.83 Cysteine 2.61 Glutamic Acid 15.22 Glycine 1.35 Histidine 1.53 Isoleucine 5.38 Leucine 10.23 Lysine 9.03 Methionine 2.12 Phenylalanine 2.78 Proline 4.91 Serine 3.74 Threonine 5.54 Tryptophan 1.62 Tyrosine 2.88 Valine 4.84

I'll warn you in advance - they can be a little tart! I let my coworker sample some and he added Water and thought they were not bad at all.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
