kphoping 47 Posted October 15, 2013 I am 6 days post op and am having a hard time getting the required amount of Protein in because of the size of the rtd shakes. I went in Vitamin Shoppe today and they sold me a New Whey protein bullet. It has 42g of protein, 180 calories, 2 carbs, 0 sugar. It does have a protein blend. Has anyone used these? Thanks.

Leena 108 Posted October 15, 2013 Years ago I had ones in a test tube like plastic container. I don't remember which brand but they were fruit punch flavored and had an ok taste when cold, at room temperature I couldn't tolerate them. 1 B-52 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Laneyb_00 81 Posted October 15, 2013 I carry those with me when I travel....hold your nose and swallow... Tell me more !!! So they are pills ? And sounds like they taste bad ! I need a boost on my Protein and sounds like these are perfect ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kphoping 47 Posted October 15, 2013 I spoke to my nutritionist about these and she said it was a combined Protein so it won't give you the full 42 grams but she said it would be somewhere in the 30's. I have a blue raspberry in the fridge now. They are good to have on hand. Found them at the Vitamin Shoppe.< /p> 1 JOANNE M HOLL reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kphoping 47 Posted October 15, 2013 Tell me more !!! So they are pills ? And sounds like they taste bad ! I need a boost on my Protein and sounds like these are perfect ! No, they are not pills but a 3.8 ounce shot of Protein. It is a liquid. From what I understand they smell and taste bad but for a boost of protein it's doable.

southernqt 236 Posted October 15, 2013 Room temp they are nasty... The way I recommend do it is holding your nose and just drink it. I tried mixing it with Water and it was NASTY! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kphoping 47 Posted October 15, 2013 Thanks for the info. Are they any better cold? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
southernqt 236 Posted October 15, 2013 Thanks for the info. Are they any better cold? Not diluted in Water but just putting them in the fridge I'm not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathytej 134 Posted October 16, 2013 i have them, I use them when I go out to make sure I have my Protein, well now that zi am eating solids again I will replace a meal with it, for emergencies. The taste is not that bad, kind of medicine like, I have the grape flavor, there is a smaller one only 23 gr protein, that one taste better, like fruit punch Jello. They are not that bad.

catfish87 3,471 Posted October 16, 2013 I buy them by the case at GNC ....as B-52 said....hold your nose and swallow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimipotpie 10 Posted October 16, 2013 I have found these to be very helpful right now as I'm on full liquid diet. I agree they are not tasty but very effective as a quick "meal". I had a case of fruit punch flavor. I just ordered a case of assorted favors from vitacost.com to try other flavors. 1 JOANNE M HOLL reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was banded on the 9th and am trying to find a way to get my Protein in. Having problems with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
