I'm really glad you didn't like it. It is nutritionally garbage. It is a collagen base and is unusable by the human body.

My cardiologist put me on Pea Protein by SunWarrior. It's the "Warrior Blend" plant based protein. It's not delicious per se, but if I do Protein Shakes, it's usually not for taste or Meal Replacement, but energy for workout or just trying to keep my protein levels up. (which usually means i'm not eating quite right. :unsure: )

Those shots are horrible. It's like drinking Syrup and like OTR said- garbage.

No way!!! (hangs head in disappointment) Are they all not usable by the body? I found one that I can tolerate. It's not the best tasting of course, though, but I figured it would help me reach the quota on some days. Please tell me more. Thanks.

In our post op care book under the Protein section our NUTs state: It is not recommended to use the Protein "shots", "shooters" or "bullets" as they do not contain the appropriate protein source.

When it comes to picking an appropriate Protein shake they said to go with something that has "Whey Protein Isolate" or "Soy Protein Isolate" as the first ingredient. This should provide you with the amino acids that your body is going to need to build Proteins.

Hey Dooter....I used that warrior blend in my green shakes for a while. Very healthy stuff but I went back to the chocolate whey powder for better taste. Still, the Warrior blend is high quality protein, and an ideal choice for vegans.

I haven't tried them yet.

PDCAAS = 100

From the makers of the first Protein shot, Yes Whey™ is the first and only to use 100% pure whey Protein -- and nothing but whey protein.

Yes Whey was designed to help consumers feel at ease about the quality of protein they consume. While other companies boldly use the word 'whey' in their brands, Yes Whey is the first ready-to-drink protein shot made exclusively from whey protein. This guarantees that the protein going into your body has a PDCAAS* of 100, the highest quality rating a protein can receive.

Yes Whey contains 25 grams of whey protein, zero fat, zero carbohydrates, and 100 calories -- all in less than three Fluid ounces.

*PDCAAS: Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score

Amino Acid Profile

(Typical g/100g) Alanine 4.37 Arginine 2.02 Aspartic Acid 9.83 Cysteine 2.61 Glutamic Acid 15.22 Glycine 1.35 Histidine 1.53 Isoleucine 5.38 Leucine 10.23 Lysine 9.03 Methionine 2.12 Phenylalanine 2.78 Proline 4.91 Serine 3.74 Threonine 5.54 Tryptophan 1.62 Tyrosine 2.88 Valine 4.84

I'll warn you in advance - they can be a little tart! I let my coworker sample some and he added Water and thought they were not bad at all.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
