Does anyone know if the New Whey Liquid Protein shots (or any other protein shots) are beneficial? They're 3.8 oz, 180 cal, no carbs, sugar free, caffeine free, lactose free, gluten free and they have 42 grams of protein. Has anyone else tried them? They don't taste very well...in fact the taste is rather gross. But I managed to choke 1/2 of one down tonight. I had surgery May 6, 2013 and I've slowly lost 40 lbs thus far since day of surgery but I'm still struggling to get my protein in. Thought I would try these shots. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone!

My doctors told me I could use them if I wasn't getting all my protein

A lot of people on here say its the wrong protein we need. I also know our body can't absorb that much protein in 1 sitting so is best to split it up in halves or thirds.

it's still hard for me to get my protein in... and I'm 5 months out

Supposeively cause diarrhea as well....

where do you find these "shots"? I have no idea about them but they sound interesting...

walmart has them where the protein things are

Don't waste your time NUTS say they don't absorb to our bodies and they taste like crap...... I thought it would be the best thing ever but was shot down because the protein is not sustained from the sleeve. I know its hard to believe but this advice is coming from a NUT.

My nut suggested it.. Crazy how they all say something different.. And I might be crazy but i enjoy the taste of the acai berry flavor one! Lol!

Do you have a Smoothie King, its a place that sells nutritional smoothies. I tried their smoothie called Gladiator it has 400 cals which is a lot but over 60 grams of protein in one smoothie taste great,no sugar. My nut recommended this.

I am going to try one I don't get a lot of protein in a day and I do not like protein shakes

My nut suggested it.. Crazy how they all say something different.. And I might be crazy but i enjoy the taste of the acai berry flavor one! Lol!

Yea its just like the Dr's no one agrees on anything. Well go with with what you been advised. I can't see what it would hurt. This whole absorption thing is crazy to me because we still have the same bodies just a smaller stomach

Thank you!!!

it's very important to get your protein in . I have experienced the hair loss... well my hair thinning out and I have thick hair... but I heard it does come back

Thanks for the responses everyone!!! I will ask my NUT but won't be seeing her until I'm 6 months out. I previously tried them for a day or two when I was a few weeks out and they did give me diarrhea at that time. This time.... 4 months out...so far so good! I purchased mine at HEB, a grocery chain in Texas but I have seen different flavored ones at WalMart. I've seen grape and acai flavors. Tonight I tried the fruit punch flavor yuck!!! But I need to get more protein, my hair is falling out by the handfulls. I had to clean my comb 3 times after washing my hair tonight and I have some bald spots developing. It's depressing but I keep looking at the prize....weight loss.

so I have a question about the hair falling out your hair does come back right when you start getting your protein in like you're supposed to
