Protein Tablets?



Recommended Posts

At 5 months post - op it's clear to me that I simply cannot get all the Protein in that I need. I've seen some protein tablets advertised but I haven't heard any one talk about them here. Has anyone had their NUT recommend them, or taken them, or is there some reason we shouldn't?

Any advice would be appreciated.

These are a VERY expensive alternative, the ones I've seen are 1 gram of Protein each which means you'd have to eat 20-30 of them to get 20-30 grams of Protein.< /p>

I'd recommend looking at the protein whey shots (drinks in a vial) they are way cheaper and although taste nasty can be downed in a few gulps.

Yeah or you can also mix the Protein whey shots into your Water or cranberry juice or whatever and they don't taste as strong. I like the watermelon and blue raspberry ones best. 42g each.

I'm so glad I found the shots. I was struggling on Protein bad. They are gross, but not nearly as bad as the powders. Put them in the fridge and they are tolerable. I've never found blue rasberry. Where did you find them?

What are the brands y'all are using for the Protein shots? Is it something to buy online or do certain stores carry it? I'm so sick of Protein shakes!!! The brand I have tastes amazing, but I only like it with milk and milk is just so filling I can't stand it.

It takes your body hours and hours to process more than 20ish grams of Protein at a time. So if you use those shots, take only half at a time, and wait at least two hours, and then take the rest

I bought the Whey Protein Shots but my dietician and surgeon stated that they are not the protein needed since they are made mostly of collagen which is does not absorb well. The Protein needed must be animal based not collagen based.

Those Protein shots are expensive! $3 a peice! I'm just thinking if I'm drinking something once or twice a day that adds up! and maybe I'm a little frugal lol ;)

I just tried one called carnivor Liquid Protein and I like it better than whey. Got it at GNC.< /p>

I periodically get Protein to Go shots. 28 grams per shot. Walgreens, Dollar General or online at proteintogo.com. (get the ones without caffeine!)

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

      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! 😞
