miss_alli 9 Posted September 16, 2016 Hey guys. I am struggling with my Protein. Horribly. All the shakes and bars are gross to me. And make me nauseous. I've seen these Protein Shots on Amazon. They have 42g in them. I'm wondering if anyone's tried these? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pup 217 Posted September 16, 2016 Ive never heard of them...interesting. How long ago did you have surgery? Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaMergs 2,854 Posted September 16, 2016 Yuck. Yuck. No. They are indigestible irrelevant Proteins. They need all kinds of additives in them to even TRY to be useful, and none of them do. They are typically collagen Protein which is no where near anything you can use. From what I've seen, the only one that has any place in our lives is called "Yes Whey". It is a blend of whey Protein and whey Protein Isolate. There may be newer ones I'm unaware of that are nutritionally sound, and I'm sure others will pipe in of so.

Pescador 1,374 Posted September 16, 2016 No one loved the shakes but it is part of the process until you can eat food. There are many ways to make the shakes taste better, like Crystal Light, sugar free puddings, Torani SF syrups, Hershey's chocolate SF powder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted September 16, 2016 IF they are the ones I am thinking of they are so nasty. I still have the box from when I had surgery. Used one and decided never again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

volfan 78 Posted September 17, 2016 I have used them, I am not picky about flavor. I mean it is a shot, just do it. They are called New Whey I believe. They are a mix of three types of Protein, collogen as mentioned, whey, and I cannot remember the third. You know that your body cannot take in more than 30grams of protein at once, so no matter how much protein is in the shots, you 't all of it. Good news is they make another one that is a 28 gram shot and cheaper. They are strangely thick if you refrigerate them, which might make some dislike them. Search the internet you can find a case of 12 of them for under $24 I believe vitashoppe of something like that, then search the sites name and coupon, most of the time you will find free shipping, or 10 percent off for most sites. My doctor says they are ok in a pinch but certainly there are better sources of protein. He. question how much you might be able to use of the protein in them, he said figure about 18grams for a shot. They have 180 calories. I make a gallon of Walmart apple drink (2 bucks for 6 packets, 2 to a gallon) then I add Nector apple protein, 4 scoops, fill 4 empty G2 bottles, place in frig. I sip all day on them, 2 is 64 ozs of Water, check, and 50 grams of protein. Have some greek yogurt, cottage cheese and you are there! I flavorless protein, add it to cottage cheese, or Decaf coffee iced Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mirandama 30 Posted September 17, 2016 Try unflavored Protein powder, it is literally tasteless and you can add it too any food or drink! I also like Premier Protein drinks!
