Whey Liquid Protein Shots - Which Are Best



Recommended Posts

Its a long story but between my taste buds and EXTREME stress off the charts i'm not getting hardly any Protein and go days without eating.

I was thinking about trying the Protein liquid shots they sell at GNC or Walmart. Has anybody tried these? I figured I could take it like a little kid with medicine but would prefer the best product for the nasty taste (i'm sure).

I know they're expensive but my health is really starting to suffer.

Thank you.

fruit punch and Watermelon were my favs. Mixing the fruit punch with some diet V8 and Water to dillute it...TASTED GREAT. none of that funky Protein after taste.

The Vitamin Shoppe. If you don't have one near you, I know they have a website you can order from and the orders are supposed to go out same day and if u spend $25, shipping is free. I've heard GNC sells them too.

Just make sure they are whey Protein with no casein Protein. That stuff is worthless to us sleevers.

Search the site and Google for casein

As far as I know, even the ones that say "whey" in the name of the shot contain no actual whey Protein in them. They are of no nutritional value. The protein will not help you. Don't drink them. Even my NUT didn't know this.

Hey butterbean could you please explain? I was thinking of getting some of these too. Why is this way useless to us. I thought that we should be consuming whey protein and not others.

thanks

My NUT said to stay away from those ...she said what Butterthebean said. Have you tried the Isopure Zero carb drinks? Those have 40g of Protein a bottle and it will help get liquids in too so you dont get dehydrated. Your best bet is to dilute those and ive heard on here people add a little crystal light. My fav is the alpine punch. I hope you figure something out and starting feeling better!

You should be consuming whey Protein, but the Protein Shots don't actually contain any whey in them, at least none of the ones I've seen. They have "whey" in the name but if you read the ingredients they will have some other type of protein....usually casein or some proprietary blend that doesn't contain enough whey to make a difference. Whey Protein should be the first ingredient on the package if you are wanting whey protein.

Again, unless there is some brand I'm not aware of. Check the ingredients to be sure.

They will say "Whey" in the name and contain something like 5% Whey Protein and the rest is casien, which is fine for body builders, not sleevers who need absorption a little quicker than what casien provides.

REALLY?! well now I've sat there and looked at the bottle, it doesn't give a percentage but yeah I spose that's true. My doctor told me these were the better option, hell, he sells them at his practice. I used them the first week. I havent used them since then but REALLY!? WTH? lol I need to do some research now. Why would the doctor suggest them though? lol

If he is selling them in his office, he is getting a cut of the action. Needless to say, never buy stuff out of the Dr office. Same thing goes for hair salons ... know what I mean?

I tried the shots at Walmart - I think they were called New Whey. They tasted like fruity prune juice left in a jug in the sun for 8 hours on a August afternoon in Texas. Even holding my breath couldn't help me get them down. But maybe that's just me. I stick with the Premier Protein from Sam's with 30 gms of Protein.< /p>

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
