Has anyone used the Liquid Protein drops?



Recommended Posts

I am starting my preop liquid diet on Wednesday Jan. 8th :0 I have been researching many different methods of Protein drinks. I came across a liquid drop which gives you 42 grams of Protein in a 3.8 oz. serving. It is made by New whey Liquid Protein. I found it along with many other Protein Drinks.Needles to say, I have filled my basket! Anyone tried these? I found these on a website called Bariatric Choice.

I am purchasing my Protein for the post op phase as well. I have seen how difficukt it is to get enough Water 2-3 weeks postop and the inability to meet the 80gtams of protein as well. This Liquid Protein would be great to helpeet those protein requirements. I know it is important to eat your protein nut additional liquid protein supplements just may help me keep my hair!

If you look at the ingredients listed, collagen Protein is listed first, then whey protein isolate. I was told to look for Proteins that list whey protein isolator or soy protein isolate as the first ingredient. Collagen protein is not absorbed as well. Also, this product claims yo be heat stable, but all good proteins will clump at higher temps like the white if an egg will change when heated. Also like cooking hamburger meat...heat changes the consistency, I would be leery of any protein that doesn't change consistency when heated

I bought a bunch of these for post-op and they're absolutely disgusting. Seriously. Don't waste your money. They're thick like maple Syrup and sickly sweet. Plan on regular old Protein shakes and later post-op, Protein Bars.

Also, it's misleading that they call them Protein Shots. I was thinking it would be really small but they're huge. And, did I mention, sooooooo gross. Blech. It makes me shudder just thinking about them.

Don't waste your money. It's thick and gross. I could barely get down half of one. I tried getting it ice cold, but that just made it thicker which made it worst. Drink Isopure from GNC. 40 grams of Protein and the grape and green apple really aren't that bad. You can dilute them at first to help.

      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!

      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!!
