Protein Pills Or Shots?

[vikkic 11]

Isnt there Protein pills or shots I can give myself, I can not stand these drinks!!!!!!!!! I can only get 2 in a day and feeling like i need to throw up and I need more protein, Im only getting 40-50 a day , im 17 days post-op. I just want to scream!!!!!!!

I hear ya! I don't think there is any pill or shot, but what a great idea!

Have you tried the RTD Premier Protein? I wouldn't say it is wonderful, but it is ok. I have resorted to these because the powders make me want to vomit. They also have 30g of Protein in each.

I have also just learned about Power Pak pudding. It has 30g of protein in each pudding. I haven't tried them yet, but I will be getting some soon. If they are anything like the Stallone puddings from back in the day, I will like them.

You can buy Protein Shots at GNC and online. I just bought some but haven't tried one yet. I'll try to report back when I do.

I mostly drink nectar protein which isn't too bad. The fuzzy navel tastes orangey and is kinda similar to crystal lite...it's not thick. With 3 of those a day I get all my protein in and 36 oz or so of fluids. So I just sip Water in between to get the other 30 oz in.

i purchased the pudding and i have to say it's really not that bad. the only draw back for me is that i have to eat over the entire day because the serving is so large...i can only eat about 1/3 of it in a sitting right now. and every single Protein shot i have tried is absolutely DISGUSTING!! im not gettng more than 30-35 grams right now and when it comes right down to it, i can't take another protein shot or shake at this point in time!!

People in our support group really recommend the flavorless Protein Powder ( Unjury? ?) and adding it to various non sweet things like Soup or v8... I haven't tried but plan on it when I start preop diet.

I didnt like the power pak pudding, but everyone is different and you're right,it is alot,about the size of the Frito lay chip dips in the can. You can by Protein Shots at most Vitamins stores and they have about 42 grams of Protein

Be cautious with protien shots. Almost all of them are garbage. Look at the ingredients, if it lists collagen, don't buy it. Your body cannot digest collagen Proteins.< /p>

I very highly recommend EAS. They sell it at target (4pack for $4.74). I prefer strawberry. It's the best I've come across in 2 years of searching hahaha!

[dpeeler28 24]

I didn't know EAS carried strawbery! the only thing the little hicktown grocery store i shop at has is chocolate......will definitely be looking for that!

I am one month post-op, and today is the first time, the Protein Shake made me queasy. To day, I was able to drink them without a problem....then BAM! UGH! Now I have to eat more meat (something I never really did before surgery).

When I was able to drink the shakes, I added black Decaf coffee to give them a mocha flavor. This really helped to add flavor. Good luck!

also, if you like coffee or chai tea go to bariatricadvantage.com they have wonderful drinks called ProJoe.... It's Protein coffee!!!!!

Ok, so I knew about the nasty drinkable shots, I thought she meant a needle shot. The ones you drink are SO DISGUSTING! It made me hurl.

You can try Amino Fuel by Twinlab. I think 1TBSP is 15g of Protein.< /p>

Agreed. I always look for whey Protein, and very few of the shots have it.
