Hi! Has anyone got any advice on these? I have heard mixed reviews. I hear they are a bit tart and not all that great. Also that they should be cold when you drink them. I just haven't seen too many posts on them. They are 42g for some and 26g for some others. I was thinking it may be good to have on hand early on. I can drink 1/2 or a 1/4 of one at a time to get in the most Protein I can while on the liquid phase. Can anyone share their experience with these.... good or bad.

thanks so much,

I tried the 42g shots and think they are absolutely DISCUSTING !!! It my just be my taste buds but I would rather stick a fork in my eye then drink one of those shots !!! I returned the empty bottles that I drank and they gave me full credit. It tasted like sour/rotten prune juice to me..... yuck !!! Maybe you could just purchase one to see how it tastes, I say this because I know everyone has different tastes.

Yes, try them first because all the reviews I read the majority said they were horrible. But I ordered anyway, I should have tried one first but the company was good enough to refund the entire case. I just stick to my Protein Shakes, cottage cheese, yogurt and nuts to get my Protein.< /p>

Those things are gross!!! And they don't have the Protein that we need.... They say 42g but we don't absorb all of because its collagen. My nut gave me one called yes whey. It has 23g of the right protein. It costs the same and tastes just as nasty but if your going to take it anyway might as well take the right one.

I have some egg Protein which is 100% egg Albumen which I mix into stuff with my Benefiber. tip though for egg based protein: don't heat it unless you actually want it to cook... its powdered egg (but refined) so will cook like egg too.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
