Has anyone used the Liquid Protein drops?



Recommended Posts

I am starting my preop liquid diet on Wednesday Jan. 8th :0 I have been researching many different methods of Protein drinks. I came across a liquid drop which gives you 42 grams of Protein in a 3.8 oz. serving. It is made by New whey Liquid Protein. I found it along with many other Protein Drinks.Needles to say, I have filled my basket! Anyone tried these? I found these on a website called Bariatric Choice.

I am purchasing my Protein for the post op phase as well. I have seen how difficukt it is to get enough Water 2-3 weeks postop and the inability to meet the 80gtams of protein as well. This Liquid Protein would be great to helpeet those protein requirements. I know it is important to eat your protein nut additional liquid protein supplements just may help me keep my hair!

If you look at the ingredients listed, collagen Protein is listed first, then whey protein isolate. I was told to look for Proteins that list whey protein isolator or soy protein isolate as the first ingredient. Collagen protein is not absorbed as well. Also, this product claims yo be heat stable, but all good proteins will clump at higher temps like the white if an egg will change when heated. Also like cooking hamburger meat...heat changes the consistency, I would be leery of any protein that doesn't change consistency when heated

I bought a bunch of these for post-op and they're absolutely disgusting. Seriously. Don't waste your money. They're thick like maple Syrup and sickly sweet. Plan on regular old Protein shakes and later post-op, Protein Bars.

Also, it's misleading that they call them Protein Shots. I was thinking it would be really small but they're huge. And, did I mention, sooooooo gross. Blech. It makes me shudder just thinking about them.

Don't waste your money. It's thick and gross. I could barely get down half of one. I tried getting it ice cold, but that just made it thicker which made it worst. Drink Isopure from GNC. 40 grams of Protein and the grape and green apple really aren't that bad. You can dilute them at first to help.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
