Liquid protein shots
Those are not the right kind of protein. Protein shots are an incomplete form of protein that our body will not absorb. It's basically like not having any at all. It does have some whey, but not enough. It's mostly collagen, which is not the protein you want. Stick to Isopures and other trusted protein shakes.

I thought I had read that they were bad on here, but then I keep seeing the ads for them on the sidebar while I am here. How annoying.
yea, I bought them because they advertised "liquid gold for bariatric patients" I bought a case before my surgery thinking what a great source of protein to add to water....but reading on these boards educated me....I tried to run it by my NUT, but she hasn't responded yet! I did purchase nectar packets, waiting for them to arrive....I should have done my homework first...live and learn!
The main protein source in these are from collagen. Collagen is an inexpensive source of protein derived from skin, hair, connective tissue, and hooves. It is not a complete protein source and completely lacks some amino acids that your body cannot synthesize. I highly recommend you pass on them. The New Whey company will try to trick you by advertising that they also contain whey and casinate protein forms, but the bulk of the product is collagen.
I've seen those ads listing them as the "gold standard for bariatric surgery" - bunch of crap!
