jmacvgs 23 Posted September 24, 2013 That's what it's come to when trying to get my liquid Protein in. I now use the New whey Protein Shots. Some 40 grams of Protein for 4oz of liquid. I only do a quarter at a time as our bodies can only process so much protein at once, but it's a good/simple way to get in a decent amount of protein, and it usually pushes me over 100 grams of protein a day when counting the food ingested. I just can't do it anymore. Choking down chalky, slimy, nasty tasting Protein drinks. I think I just need to take a break from the shakes. Maybe introduce them again in a month or so...or whenever it is that I can look at the container and not gag. 1 NtvTxn reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just like taking yucky penicillin when you're a kid!!! It got the job done, and made me determined to get all my protein with food ASAP!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SerendipityHappens 1,594 Posted September 24, 2013 Be careful with the new whey shots, despite their name, they're not a high quality Protein and not really recommended for bariatric patients because they're mostly collegen. Yes Whey! is a better choice if you want to do the Protein Shots.< /p> 1 No game reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a good diversion from the thicker shakes. Also I'm a big fan of the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup. Good luck!

newat52 1,613 Posted September 24, 2013 I just sucked it up and learned how to like grape Isopure. One bottle a day, one sip at a time and BAM! 40 grams of high quality Protein. Made getting the rest much easier. It's worth the sacrifice. You won't have to do it for long. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newat52 1,613 Posted September 26, 2013 Is this acceptable Protein for weeks post op? Isopure is the best Protein you can take in. It will help with your healing and its just not that bad! Great luck to you! The first couple weeks are not what I would say fun, but it gets so much better! And, oh my, life is great after about a month! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can not stand powder but if I can sip small amounts of something the consistency as Water I may fair well. Where do you purchase yours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
