Protein Shots instead of shakes



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried Protein shots instead of Protein shakes? I'm 3 weeks post-op and I just can't stomach the Protein shake. I haven't been able to keep them down. I need my Protein because I've been feeling so weak and tired lately. I heard Walmart carries them. Can someone please help?!!!

I tried for MONTHS BEFORE surgery to find a Protein Shake that I could drink....I took three different ones BACK to GNC....they will take their stuff back with a receipt within a certain amount of time, thank goodness!!! I struck out, I was desperate.....I know not everyone agrees, most think the Protein powder crap is the best, but not if they're so bad you aren't drinking them....so I found a bullet flavor I could stomach and that is what I did until I could get all my protein in with real food. (at about 2.5 months) The ones at GNC are packed with 42 grams of protein and are a little less than 3 and a half oz. I'd open one in the morning, take a few sips. Take a couple more sips around noon and then finish the thing up later in the day, then I was done with it. None of the nursing a yucky protein shake for two hours gagging it down!!! LOL The grape was very strong, but the Blue Raspberry was not quite as strong, I like it the best. It's worth it to buy the gold card, you get 20% discount the first seven days of the month. If you order on line, you can buy one case, which is 24 bullets and get a second for half price. (at the first of the month) I am four months out, take Biotin and this is THE ONLY protein I used after surgery.....I haven't had any hair issues. I hope this helps! :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
