Has anyone tried them? I've been having trouble getting all my Protein in so I was thinking about trying them. I wanted to see if anyone else has tried them?

I tried them, I orderd 2 cases on line, watermelon flavor thinking they would be good. They were 42 grams of Protein. When I got my delivery I hurried up and opened them real and took a big sip and spit it out !!! OMG was it discusting, I thought something was spoiled so I opened the 2nd case and it had the same discusting taste. I sent them back. Everyone's taste is different, you may want to just try one first to see if you like it. I heard lots of comments about them and most people said they tasted really nasty.

How funny I bought the same ones last night and tried them this morning. OMG Yuck! I could only get down half. I figure at 42g I will keep trying! LOL

Be careful & read the label. Usually the quality of Protein is poor for RNY pts. We need whey isolate or blend with concentrate. Most of those have cellulose which is not good for our needs. Body can only absorb 30 gms of protein at a time so anything in excess is wasted.

Thanks for the feedback. I thought since its a shot it wouldn't be so hard to chug it fast and maybe chase it with Water, but even after 4 months i forget how small My pouch is now.I've tried so many Protein Shakes and drinks that I just can't handle taste wise. I'm running out of ideas. I haven't tried adding unflavored Proteins powder to foods so that will be my next step.

My advise- DONT DO IT- YIKES! I have tried 2 single shots (watermelon and grape) and hated them- nasty, but I am not a waster (obviously lol!) so I choked it down. I actually mixed the shot in 8 ounces of h20- still gross but not as sweet and syrupy.

My Protein Shake can be mixed with just 4oz of milk. I can handle getting that down in about one gulp. It is 30g of Protein. I got it at max muscle.

Umm, same here. I would choke down the Protein Shots cause I paid for em' and they were a good source if Protein. My nut said they were fine to use. Anyways, after almost making myself vomit, I never bought more and just tried to make the Unjury work as much as I could. They also have these shakes I've been seeing around in the dairy aisle, 3o G protein and not nasty at all to me, tastes kinda like chocolate milk really. Shamrock Farms Rockin Refuel.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
