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.

      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!!
