protein bullets



Recommended Posts

thanks for your reply. I know every clinic is different in their likes and dislikes. I just hate it when I don't know if it is truly something the surgeon discourages (I don't get to talk to him - haven't seen or talked to him in 1 1/2 years-since surgery)or if it's something the dietician doesn't like. I know they don't want you getting your entire daily Protein from these; they'd rather you get it from solid food; however, that doesn't always happen. Do you use them every day, or just occassionally? Where do you get yours? thanks

Bullets are 3oz of concentrated Protein drink. for those of us that don't care to drink a big glass of nasy milk shake, the bullets are perfect.

I get NewWhey from GNC if I have to buy them locally otherwise I prefer to buy them on line.

I haven't noticed any adverse reactions to them. I don't take them every day, but I probably should. I like to drink one first thing in the morning before going to the gym.

I asked my nutritionist about them and she said the problem is with the 40-something gram ones, not the 26 gram ones. Your body can only absorb about 30 grams of Protein at a time, so if you're using the 40+ gram ones, it's a waste. I'm going to buy a flat of them soon.

My nut also doesn't like me using them. I only use them when I know I haven't gotten enough Protein in a day. Usually 2-3 times a week. I just can't eat that much food. I do buy the 42g of whey protein bullets and only drink 1/2 and put the other 1/2 of it in the fridge. It's more economical to do it that way. That way it's only one swig at a time. I get the fruit punch flavored ones from GNC online.

      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.
