I've never seen them but check the label and make sure it is whey Protein.< /p>

I haven't found one that uses whey Protein yet... all the ones I have seen use collagen.

O.T.R. Sleever is a good person to ask about this if you see him around.

Is it okay to do the Protein Shots instead of the shakes?

Here is a link to one of the many discussions on these Protein Shots.

My surgeon is really against them. What you to get your protien from food. Dr. Garth Davis in Houston. Beans fruits and veggies and some meat. They do taste horrible!

I just tried one,it was okay,a kind of bitter sweet taste,but I can tolerate it. I'm three wks post op and just can't get in all my Protein, so I guess I'll have to settle for this,at least I will get a large amount of protein in one shot.

I am also taking Protein shots(started yesterday). I know people are against it because its not completely whey isolate protein but there are some of us out there who just cannot consume the amount of protein that our respective surgeons have told us to. I'm 17 days post op, can barely get in half a bottle of Isopure and can barely drink 12 oz of water..there has to be an alternative to ready made Protein Drinks and shakes. These Protein Shots seem like a better alternative because there's less to consume.

My nut said its fine to use them to add more Protein to my diet. I struggle to eat meats in an amount that gives me my protein for the day so I drink a half of a shot a day to add to my diet. I also drink a shake first thing in the am that it 30 grams. Just remember your body can only absorb 30 g at a time.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
