Feedback on Protein Bullets



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am a newbie here. My GB date is set for 8/26, I start two week pro op liver shrinking diet in two days. I have heard of Protein bullets, haven't tried them , wondering if any one has feedback on their experiences using them. I am thinking I would use post op maybe or when I am super busy. Thank you in advance for any feedback dispensed????

I haven't used the product. I did a search on the internet, but many of the links say "We no longer carry this product". Not sure why. The Bullet Nutrition Protein Bullet has 42 grams of Protein per bottle. Your body can absorb only so much protein at once. So therefore if you use this product it would be best to drink half a bottle and wait a few hours to drink the rest. It has no sugar. That is good. It has 134 calories. That is good. I cannot tell if it is lactose free. After RNY gastric bypass surgery, I became lactose intolerant. That is an important issue but I suspect this product is lactose free. One of the websites I found on the product gave it a grade of D+. I don't know why.

I just checked and it looks like it might be a Protein blend. We were told early out to stick to 100% whey protein isolate. I think blends are probably OK after you're out a few months and are getting most of your protein from food, but you may want to check with your surgeon's office. If they're OK with the bullets early out, then who am I to say?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
