Has anyone else been told not to use the protein bullets as a way to get your protein in because it is not easily digested??

I haven't heard that. I use them all the time.

thanks for your reply. I know every clinic is different in their likes and dislikes. I just hate it when I don't know if it is truly something the surgeon discourages (I don't get to talk to him - haven't seen or talked to him in 1 1/2 years-since surgery)or if it's something the dietician doesn't like. I know they don't want you getting your entire daily protein from these; they'd rather you get it from solid food; however, that doesn't always happen. Do you use them every day, or just occassionally? Where do you get yours? thanks

What are the bullets

Bullets are 3oz of concentrated Protein drink. for those of us that don't care to drink a big glass of nasy milk shake, the bullets are perfect.

I get NewWhey from GNC if I have to buy them locally otherwise I prefer to buy them on line.

I haven't noticed any adverse reactions to them. I don't take them every day, but I probably should. I like to drink one first thing in the morning before going to the gym.

So are they bad to use as our protein supp? I cant stand those other shakes, it takes me 3 hours to drink one

I asked my nutritionist about them and she said the problem is with the 40-something gram ones, not the 26 gram ones. Your body can only absorb about 30 grams of protein at a time, so if you're using the 40+ gram ones, it's a waste. I'm going to buy a flat of them soon.

My nut also doesn't like me using them. I only use them when I know I haven't gotten enough protein in a day. Usually 2-3 times a week. I just can't eat that much food. I do buy the 42g of whey protein bullets and only drink 1/2 and put the other 1/2 of it in the fridge. It's more economical to do it that way. That way it's only one swig at a time. I get the fruit punch flavored ones from GNC online.
