The only thing I have heard about these Protein shots was that the ones containing collagen are not good. That information I found on this site.

My dr & NUT told me only whey Protein with less then 5 carbs. I use Premier Protein...I like it best very cold.

Hopefully one of the experts will have more information...I will be 5 wks on Tuesday.

I got them figuring if I was having issues getting all Protein in I would use them. I tasted one and it is like syrup.... Sweetness and thickness!!! Blah!!!!! I did decide that I would use them by added a couple ounces to my crystal light and it made that taste like a Popsicle. Really over powered the flavor of the crystal light. I didn't mind it mixed up the flavored and gave me some extra protein. I wouldn't buy them again but will try to use what I have already in this way!

I got one in my 'going away goodie bag' the day I went home. I hated EVERY SINGLE Protein Powder I tried. I took three different ones back to GNC. The bullets saved me. The whey Protein is probably 'the gold standard' but my physician said these are fine. I never had a hair issue and was healthy. IDS brand at GNC is 42 grams of protein in just a little over 3 oz. I'd hold my nose and take a couple of sips 3x's a day, rinse my mouth out afterwards. Beat the heck out of a big Protein Shake that took me three hours to gag down. I started getting ALL my protein with food by two months out. Cottage cheese, eggs, tuna, Cod fish, chicken. I still keep a bag of frozen shrimp, it's easy to steam and easy to eat!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
