Protein Pills and chewables



Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm new. Sleeved on August 14 and the absolute only issue is getting in the Protein. So, I did some (a very small) amount of research (meaning, I found out it existed) and found out there are protein pills and chewables!! They are fairly inexpensive. Someone, anyone!!!, have any experience of these or knowledge as to why I should continue to struggle down Protein Shakes instead?? Obviously, I will consult my surgeon, but not today! It's a Friday night. And he's on vacation. He's probably lying on a tropical beach eating protein!!! Anyway, there has never been any mention of these little jewels so I'm wondering if they're too good to be true....

The tablets have VERY LOW Protein grams and contain Phenylketoneurics: which contains Phenylalanine, this chemical is in diet soda and will stimulate your appetite. What Protein Shakes are you drinking??? I drink (2, 11oz) Premier Choc - 30 grams protein, and love them! I also drink (1, 20oz) pineapple Orange banana Isopure - 40 grams protein (the only one I tolerate - taste wise).

Oh, I do not want anything to stimulate my appetite!!! Lol. I've tried Visalus which isn't bad but doesn't have enough Protein in each one to warrant me drinking them. I have to drink 6 to get enough. I've also tried the whey powder from Walmart. Need I say more? I just today tried the Unjury unflavored with no success. Tomorrow, I'm headed in search of Isopure. Someone said the unjury flavored wasn't bad. Where do you get the premiere chocolate? I'll be on the lookout for that, too. I live in a very small town so unless walmart has it in stock, it's an hour drive to find something. That's why I hope I find something I can do quickly!!! Thanks for your response. I really figured it was too good to be true; otherwise why would there be shakes? ??

I have several friends who like the shakes sold at Walmart. I believe they sell the Premiere shakes and EAS shakes.

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

      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! 😞
