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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
