For anyone needing the liquid protein bullets...



Recommended Posts

For anyone interested in the New whey Protein bullets, I was emailed a GNC coupon that is good through tomorrow. It is a pdf file.

http://library.gnc.com/coupons/RBD/G...BD_COUPONS.pdf

That is the address to pull it up. The bullets are the 42g (make sure if you are buying the correct ones because they make some that are on 20g or so). The price is 2.09 each or 24.99 for a case of 12. That is better than the price I paid for them with my GNC gold card on bonus days. It is also cheaper than I found it online.

I found that during my clear liquid phase this was the easiest way to get my Protein in for the day. Each one is only 3 oz of liquid and contains 42g of protein.

question about the Protein bullets.. Are they gross tasting or do you mix them in with something?? can anyone share with me about them?? thanks

DH thinks they taste like a Sweet Tart. I drink them straight. Some people complain about an aftertaste, but it doesn't bother me. It is only 3 oz, so it is REALLY easy to get down. Some people mix it with Crystal Light. I get the tropical punch. It also comes in blueberry, grape, and orange.

I get the 42 and drink half of it with a diet drink powder. I save the other half in the fridge. I just had the fruit punch with Walmart's Great Value Cherry Limeade powder. I have also had the orange with orange drink powder. They are quite gross straight. They taste like salty Jello to me.

I love the bullets!! they are the only way I can get all the protien in. I think they taste like a liquid jolly rancher. I mix it with a tiny bit of Water and a couple ice cubes. Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the info! I asked my nurse about the Protein bullets at my fill appointment Friday. She wouldn't give me any names of any, because they "don't like them". Apparently, they don't have enough amino acids in them, so the dietician doesn't approve of them. They gave me some samples of some new Protein Drinks to try. I HATE protein drinks, and I know I don't get enough protein in, so I would like to try these "bullets" instead. ???? What to do????

I guess everyone is different, because it was the nutritionist who told me about them. I didn't want the other drinks for post op, because it was too many ounces to possibly get down for the week after surgery. This was easiest for me. I still use them when I need to, but that is only about once or twice a week.

      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.
