Has anyone tried these?

Men's Pocket Protein is 20grams of protein in 2oz with 80calories.

No, but I'll certainly look into them. Have you? What do you think of the taste?

The 2nd ingredient is hydrolyzed collagenic Protein isolate. I'm pretty sure I read elsewhere on this site, some time ago, that collagen Protein is not usable by our bodies. (I have not researched that statement.)

According to the website, it is 95 - 98% bioavailability, whey Protein isolate in 2 oz. Looks like a good option, especially right after surgery!

I have not tried it yet, But I think I might order myself some for after surgery.

Thanks for sharing. I'm going to try them out. I wonder why there is one for women and men?

[BeagleLover 1,020]

Yeah, that's weird. Hey, I'm getting the one for men--- 5 additional Protein grams!

[HalloweenBaby24 447]

I said the same thing, No difference but the calorie count and Protein.< /p>

Might as well get the Male one for the added protein!

Thanks for the information! I've never heard of this but I may just order the one for men as well for one of my post op ventures

Found this on the Pocket Protein Facebook page!...

Question was "what's the difference between the woman/mens PP?"

Answer from the company: "the only difference between the men and the women is 5 grams of Protein and the flavor. You'll be fine with the mens version! A % of proceeds will go towards grants to help the less fortunate get the gastric surgery they need."

How awesome is that!?

I bought these this week when I went shopping at Shoprite. I bought the women's. I will use them on my week of liquids right after my surgery. I hope they taste good.

[HalloweenBaby24 447]

They are much cheaper at the store if you can find them. I hear nothing but good thing's about the taste from other people

Update

Tried the strawberry womans flavor today, it was very sweet and a little bitter but for me manageable. It tasted a lot like a 5hr energy shot...

I hope I'm able to stomach it after surgery.
