Recommended Posts

I sent for the unjury drinks and they came in 2 days, I tried the strawberry and it's good. Much better than the GNC stuff. I will try that Dreamsicle I have some orange flavored Cyrstal light.

I got some sugar free Hersey's Syrup and added a squirt into the chocolate GNC stuff and it did help. I don't want to waste it so I am using it now before surgery.

Lanakila - what is a bullet? I have only heard the individual size blenders called that, but it sounds like you are talking about a Jello type thing instead.

The bullets are made by a company called New whey. They are like a large test tube full of liquid Jello. They have 42g of Protein, but since your body cannot absorb that much at once it's a great option for post-op when you really cannot get much down at a time. I figure you get about 5g for each swallow.

Thanks Lanakila! I found them online and ordered some. It looks like a pretty good supplement to help get all that Protein in!

Hey I thought a "Bullet" was that funny blender they sell on TV.

I think this might be good for the just after pre-op. But only one and maybe a half of one of these a day. My doctors want 60 grams of Protein a day.

I thought this was interesting. You can make Protein Jello with the New whey bullets too. I got this from bariatriceating.com.

Follow the directions for speed set on a small box of Jello. Adding two 42 gram New Whey Protein bullets along with the ice. Ready to eat after a twenty minute chill.

I was having a very had time with the carnation instant Breakfast and the slim fast low carb, makes me nauseous :thumbdown: Then I found Atkins Advantage, they have several flavors and very tasty, since I have to have six a day I really wanted options.

I'm on a 30 day liquid pre-op diet with only salad at dinner for first 14 days and complete liquid remaining 14 days. Doctor wanted me on Medifast but it was too expensive. I found a great alternative for a Protein Shake and it comes in many tasty flavors. I mix mine with no fat milk. It's called Spiru-Tein and can be purchased at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe etc. Hope this help to any other looking for variety.

Tell me about it. It was not so bad the first week and a half then I kinda cheated yesterday but starting Monday is the full liquid diet no salads and I can't screw that up. I want to make sure I don't jeporadize my surgery. I have read one or two threads that when they woke up from there surgeries they reazlied that they had a full open incision. I don't want that to happen. With two young kids I need to be fully operational in a short time.

OMG! The bullets are AWESOME! I got the fruit punch and I put it in a water bottle (after drinking a little out of it first) with half a packet of crystal light fruit punch and it's so good. Not thick and yucky or nasty-tasting. It's got to be the best tasting highly concentrated Protein on the market. I figure it will be great for after banding when I might not feel so great but needing to get that protein in...and it packs a whopping 42 grams in 3 oz!

I agree...the bullets rock! Just remember that while you are pre-op, there's no point in drinking all of it in one sitting. Your body can only absorb about 25g of Protein at a time, so split it into two different sittings.

Now once you are post-op, you won't be able to get it all down in one sitting...so this won't be a problem :cursing:

I ordered the bullets, but they haven't arrived yet! I am looking forward to getting them! It will be great for Protein in those first few weeks after being banded.

I have to do liquids the day before surgery, I had my pre-op yesterday! Hope the bullets come, I can make some of that Jello.

Now I really have to try these Bullets....here is a link that I found to buy them for $27.99 for a 12 vial pack of 42gr each at supplements.Net - is this a good price? If not, let me know where you bought them from and how much they were.....if you dont mind.

      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?

      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.
