Recommended Posts

I just googled it and went to their website. http://www.sunkistprotein.com/products.html

It then tells you that you can order them from this website - http://www.europasports.com/

I just wonder how good of quality Protein they are...

Most Protein Shots or bullets are made with Protein collagen and NOT whey isolate. Some are a combo of both but it isn't entirely regulated by the FDA so it could be a mix ratio of 1:10 swinging in either direction and in between the ratio. My point is that even though they seem attractive, if they are made with collagen it is not going to help build and sustain muscles fibers and you may end up losing valuable muscle tissue, giving you a "wasted away look". Something to keep in mind is that vital organs like your heart and diaphragm are muscles and NEED good quality protein in order to function at its best. If it is the smell of Protein Shakes that you can not stand tell your NUT ASAP so you and her/him can work together at finding proper nutrition for your needs.

I was told by a sales person at GNC to stay away from the Protein Shots, its all hype and not what we need, still pre op so I havent tried any but I have got a few sample of the mixes

FDA approval is useless IMO. If you dig you will find independent research on them. There a couple of these types out there that are fairly reputable. They do in a pinch.

      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.
