New whey protein bullets



Recommended Posts

I am 6 days post op and am having a hard time getting the required amount of Protein in because of the size of the rtd shakes. I went in Vitamin Shoppe today and they sold me a New Whey protein bullet. It has 42g of protein, 180 calories, 2 carbs, 0 sugar. It does have a protein blend. Has anyone used these? Thanks.

Years ago I had ones in a test tube like plastic container. I don't remember which brand but they were fruit punch flavored and had an ok taste when cold, at room temperature I couldn't tolerate them.

I spoke to my nutritionist about these and she said it was a combined Protein so it won't give you the full 42 grams but she said it would be somewhere in the 30's. I have a blue raspberry in the fridge now. They are good to have on hand. Found them at the Vitamin Shoppe.< /p>

No, they are not pills but a 3.8 ounce shot of Protein. It is a liquid. From what I understand they smell and taste bad but for a boost of protein it's doable.

Room temp they are nasty... The way I recommend do it is holding your nose and just drink it. I tried mixing it with Water and it was NASTY!

i have them, I use them when I go out to make sure I have my Protein, well now that zi am eating solids again I will replace a meal with it, for emergencies. The taste is not that bad, kind of medicine like, I have the grape flavor, there is a smaller one only 23 gr protein, that one taste better, like fruit punch Jello. They are not that bad.

I have found these to be very helpful right now as I'm on full liquid diet. I agree they are not tasty but very effective as a quick "meal". I had a case of fruit punch flavor. I just ordered a case of assorted favors from vitacost.com to try other flavors.

When did you get banded since your still on liquids? I was banded on the 9th and am trying to find a way to get my Protein in. Having problems with that.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
