Mbain 29 Posted January 13, 2016 Has anyone else taken New whey liquid Protein shots? I am having a horrible time getting all my Protein in (nothing new there), and I have a suspicion that this is causing me to not lose faster, anyway.... The shots have 42 grams of protein per 3.2 oz shot (they are 15 dllrs for 6 shots) so I bought some thinking, this would give me over half of my required protein intake, and beside I am sick of Protein shakes. Any advice on these? The nutrition label claims no sugar added and 170 calories per shot, which is not so bad. Any input and experience would be appreciated it!

meltravlr 19 Posted January 13, 2016 Hmmm. I have no answer for you but interested in responses... I had my surgery 11/22 and have hardly lost any weight and am also having a hard time getting my Protein in and feel this may be part of it. I am getting 50-60 grams a day consistently from food but the Protein Shakes make me want to puke... Which is funny because I drank them pre-op just fine. If these get a good review they may be that answer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meltravlr 19 Posted January 13, 2016 Well.. A quick review about the Protein they use does not bode well. It's collagen protein, not easily absorbed. Looks like it may not be the answer. Interested to see what others think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mbain 29 Posted January 13, 2016 @@meltravlr I don't trust product reviews online because people get paid to give them, a lot of times anyway. Since pre-op to now I have lost 37 lbs in 7 weeks which I thought I would lose more, but I am getting better at understanding this is a slow process, and that losing 2 lbs per week is better than nothing. Hope we get someone who has taken them; I will start taking them and tell you how it goes. They are fruit flavor so they may be a nice change from chalky Protein shakes. I will check with my NUT, see what she thinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heather5565 959 Posted January 13, 2016 Almost 40 lbs in less than 2 months sounds like a pretty great loss to me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't tried them yet, but I ordered them from the Bariatric Pal Store, they should be in this week. I am like you, had no issues drinking the Protein drinks prior to surgery, but can't deal with them anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted January 13, 2016 My surgical team doesn't allow collagen Protein, what is what the "New Whey" shots mostly are, despite their name. They say the protein is just about worthless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susan66 128 Posted January 13, 2016 I have them in my fridge now. I purchased them to have on hand in case there was a day I didn't get all my Protein in. I have only had one and I didn't care much for it. I had the watermelon flavor, it was very thick and sickening sweet, that coming from somebody who "had" a love of sweets. I had to mix it with Water to get it down. An hour after I drank it I had awful stomach pains & had multiple trips to the bathroom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Mac 6,262 Posted January 13, 2016 I was given a couple of those Protein shots at the hospital. Blech!!!!!!! Worse than if I made it from liverwurst cough syrup......at that was the peach flavor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christine99 69 Posted January 13, 2016 I read about these here on the forum and was soo excited...started drinking them (a little bit in Water like an enhancer) My NUT said they are garbage...its collagen Protein, not easily digested and we would only be absorbing a fraction. Not worth it and I havent used them since I have at least 6 of them I should bring back to Vitamin shoppe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cstew21 10 Posted January 13, 2016 Lesson learned in Protein Shakes. Got the wrong kind of Protein from cvs the other day. Idk if it was the shake or what but I was super nauseous all day :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
