That makes two of us crazy, cept I love the grape

I am so glad I am not alone. I drink them straight up; cold or room temperature. What I like most about them, is that I can slam one down quickly and feel full fast and longer.

They are perfect for when I am at conferences or training, when they are serving high calorie foods that I do not want to consume. Plus, when I am stuck in freeway traffic on my commute, which is more often than not, I can drink one of those bullets and not feel like a raving starved craved lunatic when I walk in the front door. It really helps me manage my hunger.

Yesterday was my education session with my Drs nurse right before my surgery on the 23rd. One of the things she highly recommended was a product thet gives 42 grams of Protein in just 3 ounces. She stated that females need at least 80 grams of Protein a day and this made it an easy way to get over half. Theres a website I ordered from earlier today liquid Protein Information and Product Listings - Fitness First USA I purchased 48 vials for $56.00 which seems expensive but if your doing the shakes for protein then you know its about the same only this has a lot more protein. She highly recommended them for right after surgery and those days when we know we won't be eating right and protein amoints will fall short. Personally I felt a little vain but I want to loose lots of weight not lots of hair so I ordered some for me. Theres a lot of other products as well that look good you might want to consider. They do have a referral and bonus program, please if you decide to order I would appreciate it if you used my name (Saundra Rotherham) and you can do the same. I also have a promotional code which brings the shipping down to only $1.00, as far as any one knows it doesn't have an expiration date and it did work for me its OCONUS1. She did say that right after surgery a lot of people split it in half. She also said while she likes the taste as it is some people put in it Water, sugarfree koolaids and such to help with their liquid intake. Lots of luck everyone I hope some of you find this helpful:thumbup: I should add they throw in two vials free and if 24 is more than you want to start with they have a 12 pack in each flavor as well. I'm gonna start with grape in case I want to add to my grape crystal light.

Saundra

When I go to the website that you have listed .. it shows me 24 vials for $56 .. not 48.

Sorry the storms knocked out cable, internet and my phone so I just now saw my mistake. I typed both and it should have been 24 with 2 free at Liquid Protein Information and Product Listings - Fitness First USA Thaniks for pointing out my typo. I was banded on the 23rd and when my dr was releasing me he was real glad I had ordered them. I drinl half in the morning and half in the evening. It helps with the hunger some to which right now has turned out to be a major thing, my post op was canceled with all this bad weather so I'm still on broths till I see dr Tuesday now, I might be strange but I don't find them hard to drink at all, at least not the grape ones, thats the flavor I've stuck with so far in most things. If you all do oreder and don't mind I'd really appreciate it if you used me as a referall, my name is Saundra Rotherham my Customer Number its 0125199. With the diet I'm on phase 1 I've been having a shake mid day so thats 42 from bullet and 15 from shake, not bad considering I'm stuck for a few more days but I gotta follow the rules. Once again sorry for the typo abd thanks for catching it. Be thinner :thumbup:

No problem, just thought maybe I had missed the boat. Thanks for talking about the product in the 1st place. I will buy some to try. I have some other samples of other things and will see what works best for me. God Bless You and thanks for sharing..

Don't forget OCONUS1 for the promo code to save some more money. I like that they give 2 free ones with the purchase and a fitness magazine as well. I can't personally say if its any goos though,after some eye surgery I will be able to but in the meantime the magazine is in the read later pile. Your welcome, I felt bad for the typo, I don't catch them as easily as I used to for now. Thanks again and I hope they work as well for you as they seem to be me.

Hi All

I am a little surprised by the interest in the bullet products.

Has there been any discussion here about the Protein quality (the value of the Protein to your body) in different kinds of supplements?

Thanks!

Jerome

Not sure what you mean, but my Dr, his nurse, the diatician (sp)and even the independant psych eval person recommends them. The nurses at the hospital did as well reminding me that my body right now can only absorb 20 grams at a time, thus the split.

Call me crazy, but I love the taste of them. I just went to GNC at lunch today and bought a case of the orange. Yummy!

I wish I had known how you felt about these. I just threw away 4 cases (fruit punch and orange) of these that I would have gladly sent your way. I could not stomach the taste of them. I tried to mix them. I tried to drink it in shots. I just couldn't do it. *shudder*

I would have gladly have put them to use. There is no way you could have know that, so don't fell bad. personally I think they rank way high to the chewable vitamins and the other diet I'm on and as I said earlier the vein side of me said earlier, I want to lose weight no hair. Thanks though, its a very nice thought. I have read on here where others have purchased different powered forms they didn't like and they past along to others to try. personally 1 1/2 twice a day works well for me.

I tried the grape one this weekend and it was sooo nasty! I am going to stomach them because they have such a high amount of Protein but really they were gross. I haven't tried mixing them with anything yet but the aftertase is just terrible.

Maybe I will learn to like them? I'm trying to stay positive!

Ah slim-n-trim say it aint so!!!! Not sure why I like them, but my doctor and nurtitionists totally recommended them. They are the only liquid Protein that I can tolerate.

It's crazy how different everyone is with the taste of the Liquid Protein.< /p>

      I'm officially no longer "obese" and now classified as "overweight!" Years ago when I was 108 lbs (my old adult holding weight until the last 10 years) would I have ever thought there would come a day that I'd celebrate being "overweight!" 
      I hit my one year surgery anniversary next Wednesday (August 21st, 2023) and just so happen to have my final bariatric clinic check up on the same day. I'm looking forward to seeing my surgeon and being officially released into the wild! 😋
      I'm curious as to what my labs will say, especially since they told me to not take my vitamins a few days before the labs. To be honest, I find this confusing since the whole point of taking vitamins is to keep your stats within normal ranges - to assure they're working as intended, yet since I quit taking them it will show I need to take them..so I'll hear "make sure to take your vitamins!" A vicious circle. Who knows why?!
      Anyway, I have 40lbs to go to meet my goal and I'm really hoping I can do it in the next 6 months (for a total of 18 months post surgery). At my starting weight the charts show only 20% reach their goal within 18 months with a starting weight of 259 the day of surgery. I'd like to add that to achieved goals. Fingers crossed!
      I'm amazed and thankful for everyone here on these forums who've supported me, answered my questions and understood the plight! Thank you all, you know who you are.

      Good morning all, how long did it take insurance to approve you?
      · 5 replies
      1. NickelChip

        Once it was submitted, not long at all. Just a few days, I think. But my surgeon's office didn't submit it until all my requirements were met, which included psych eval, dietician meetings, a certain number of visits, bloodwork, etc. As long as you've checked all the right "boxes" they require, the approval process should be very standard and easy. Your surgeon's office should know exactly what you need to get approved.

      2. juliie

        good morning , I just need one more clearance from the insurance requirements which is my basic nutrition class , and that's on the 26th of this month. I have BCBSMI insurance. my surgeon said it usually takes 4-6 weeks for them to approve but can be sooner

      3. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Once I completed all the insurance/program requirements - about a week. It seemed fairly quick, but I also contacted my insurance company several times to confirm all the requirements I needed to satisfy there paperwork machine and also nudge (nag squeaky wheel) them 😋 ! Also, my bariatric clinic is/was on top of it.

      4. juliie

        @BlondePatriotInCDA thanks, I have BCBSM hopefully it doesn't take them long to approve me, i just need one more clearance from their requirements. wow a week ? that was fast ,have you had yours yet?

      5. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Yes, my one year anniversary is this Wednesday. It will go quickly, it may not seem like it now..but trust me it will. I have BCBS as well. Good luck, you can do this!

      Long whine alert - I'm really disappointed! I saw my primary Dr last month and told her I wanted WLS and she was all for it. Said that I had to do the 6 month supervised diet for my insurance and a boatload of other tests. Ok. I understand. She started my 6 month diet last month and sent a referral to the bariatric surgeon. MY plan was to do the supervised diet, then at the end of the 6 months in January, do all the other tests...sleep study, endoscopy, ekg, psych, nutritionist, etc. because all of that would get my insurance deductible met, then have surgery in February or March. Since my deductible would be met, I'd only be paying my 20% coinsurance by then. Got the call from the bariatric surgeon's office on Friday and was told that THEY are the ones that will do my 6 month supervised diet. I explained that my primary Dr already had me on it for a month but they said everything will go thru them. Ok. I understand. So I explain about wanting to complete the diet first, then do all the other testing (because I don't want to have to pay my deductible twice by paying for all that stuff now, & then it starts over in January) but she tells me that they do the testing while I'm doing the diet. That means that I cannot even start their bariatric program until January! They made my first appt for Jan 9th & that's when the 6 month diet will start with them & they'll submit to insurance for approval in June & I would have surgery in July. Man!!! That's almost a year from now! All because I don't want to pay $4500 now, than have to pay it again in January. I don't understand why they won't let me diet now & do the other tests at the end.

        Before you assume that the testing will take your full deductible, I would make some calls to your insurance. I have a 3k deductible and my portion of the bloodwork was nowhere close to that even though I assumed it would be. I think my copays ended up being around $1k or less for all the preliminary tests. And remember, you will have extensive bloodwork multiple times after surgery, so there may be no way to get it all into one calendar year. Also, you might look into financing options through your hospital. Mine allowed me to put the $3k I owed after the surgery (because yeah, that did max out my deductible for this year) on a 24-month no-interest payment plan. Depending on your options, it may be affordable enough that you can book your appointment sooner and get this whole thing going instead of having to wait almost a full year to have your surgery.
