These are liquid Protein shots. They contain 42g of Protein in only 3oz. I'm very curious.

I bought those months before I was even enrolled in my current health insurance, not knowing if I would even be approved for surgery or not. I hated them. I tried one, and had to throw it out. I don't think I could even swallow it by holding my nose. I may try Isopure after surgery to get a little extra Protein in, but not those Protein Shots ever again.

I used them the first week post-op when I was on Clear liquids. I poured half of one into my Vitamin Water Zero and it was fine taste wise. They have a mix of proteins: collagen Protein, whey Protein isolate, and casein protein.

My doctor was fine with them, but as soon as I was on fuller liquids I started using whey Protein Isolate powders... this is supposedly the most easily absorbed and used protein. I love the Syntrax Nectars, Fuzzy Navel and Cappuccino are my favorites.

I tried these but since I am sensitive to dairy the Casein Protein affected me. They fruit punch flavor was sweet but not too bad but the blueberry one was awful. It is a good concentrated protein if your system can handle them. I was just sleeved on April 7.

      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.
