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 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... :(
