New whey protein shots



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share these "shots" that I found. They are a little pricey, but they have 42grams of Protein in 3.5 ounced of Fluid. They are very sweet and taste ok. I like they grape. They come in handy if you are having trouble getting your Protein in. I am still in my liquids phase, but beyond that I plan on keeping a couple on hand for when I need that extra protein I didnt get in my diet. You can find them at Walmart too.

Don't go there. They get their protein from collagen and Gelatin, which are low quality Proteins your body can't use. If you search this forum for "collagen" you will find more info.

I bought these too because they say whey Protein isolate and caesin protein isolate in addition to the hydrolized collagen.

I use these as well. My nut/physician recommended them. They allow me to get a large amount of Protein in a small volume and given that most Protein drinks make me gag is helpful. While I have competed in a triathlon, I don't think my metabolic needs are as high as triathlete. If you look at more research, especially bodybuilding, it is recommended. Given that I plan to use them only for a short time until I transition to a full diet, I am not too worried about the perceived poor quality.

I drink the Acai berry and watermelon for Breakfast. Bottoms up!

I will read the article.

My surgeon suggests them also...I only plan on using them while on my full liquids phase then just having them as a back up when I move into full phase of eating. But I will research them some more.

I really like your attitude :) great response.... when I was newer on this forum there was a lot of discussion about these. I never researched them myself but the general consensus was that they wouldn't be absorbed properly and best not to use them. This was back in October or before.

Thank you Seela.... If anyone ever offers advice on something and has stuff to back it up...I do look at it then make the best choice for myself. I actually haven't had one in a few days and I do have others ways to get Protein in and I would rather do it with something that is good quality.

Thank you mama spike for the information.

You all are so helpful.

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
