Protein Shots (2.9 oz)-anyone tried these???



Recommended Posts

I am anticipating my first fill on the 28th and wondering how tight I will be and how will I get in enough Protein if I can't drink an 8 oz shake. I found these "protein shots" at walgreens. Has anyone tried them???

Yes, to me, they have a bitter after taste. So, I bought the orange flavored and added them to my orange juice. Personally, I just prefer to use the UNflavored Unjury Protein Powder. I add it to my o.j. and NO after taste ~ good luck ~

How much Protein powder do you have to put in your juice? Is it 1 tablespoon or 2 or 3...? The protein powder i tried tasted terrible and barely would dissolve even in Soup because I had to use so much.

I was told by dr and nutritionist that the shots do not contain the right Protein and do not absorb well in the body. I also had a bad reaction on my tongue. If you have the new whey the first ingredient is not even protein its Water.< /p>

I think the Protein Shots taste horrible. What a terrible thing to force yourself to do. On the Protein shakes... don't drink all 8 oz at once. If you drink 3 oz an hour during waking times you will get your needed protein. Don;t force large volumes at one time. Sip, sip, sip!

Yes I tried them and no matter what you put them in or what flavor you get they are horrible. Mine came up as fast as it went down. YUCK

The liquid Multivitamin I got at Complete Nutrition was $42 a bottle and I literally almost throw up every day when I drink it now. I can't take it anymore! Totally gross to me.

I take them with me when I travel....being able to eat good band friendly foods on the road is difficult, so I use these to

get my Protein and not worry about eating all that much.....

Centrum now makes an adult chewable...it's cheaper than the speciality Vitamins. As bandsters we don't have any mal- absorption , so a general multi usually is sufficient ...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
