Adventures in Protein

Anyone here use protein bullets?  If so, how do you take them?  Do you just drink 'em down?  Dilute them with water and sip on 'em?  They are my next attempt at trying to get in protein!

Protein bullets.... I would rather eat dirt! LOL.. I did CIB w/ nonfat drymilk w/ milk. Have you tried any of my protein smoothies? I need to pick up some ice, I am jonesn' for a smoothie!

LOL!  I have tried CIB with Lactaid FF milk (I'm lactose intolerant - and was before surgery) and spent the rest of the afternoon in the bathroom.    Although it tasted good, I can't do it.  I have not had any of your protein smoothies.  I'll have to go back a bunch of threads to around the time of the last clothing exchange and look for the recipes.  What I've tried so far just ain't working for me....!

I have two bottles of ready mixed Isopure, and 2 New Whey Protein Bullets to try yet....   plus a few protein samples in a gift basket I got.  Most of the powders so far just haven't been cutting it for me, and I don't want to get sick or lose my hair!!

I know I can use the liquid proteins to make Jello - except Jello isn't on my list of stuff I can eat (even though it was given to me twice in the hospital!).

I bought a case of Profect to try to get in extra protein. OMG was it nasty!!! I tried two and couldn't do anymore. What a waste of money.

I heard that Profect tastes nasty.  I have two tubes of New Whey liquid protein bullets that I thought I would try today.  They're fruit punch flavor.  I guess I'll mix one with an 8 oz glass of water and see how it tastes.     Can you tell I'm not real excited about this?   LOL

Chris,

Try the Grape New Whey bullets with CL white grape, and  blue raspberry with raspberry CL amd it is very yummy.   Another is find the peach bullets (fewer gms of protein) and mix with peach iced tea CL, not as may gms of protein, but thats very good tool

Michelle!  How ya doing???  Welcome to the losers bench, and thank you for the info.  I have two fruit punch new whey bullets, and I have some fruit punch CL/SF Kool Aid tubes, so I will try that  Thanks!!

I'm doing great...I've been home about 1 hour.  Feelin' pretty good, especially after washing my hair and showering..

Have you been to http://www.bariatriceating.com/ ?  They have a great message board and you get lots of ideas in their protein section.  I get really sick of the shakes and the Nectar makes a big difference.  I put everything I mix with CL in with water and ice and shake well.  I like the texture much better too.  Some shake mixes get very sitck/gummy and I can't handle that well.


Answer me this Batman....I can't see worth s..t  now.  even my bifocals don't help.  Was the air just too dry there or couild it be one of the pain meds?   My eyes were literally crossed when I awoke in the recovery room....and there was 2 of everything for a few days after that.

I'll tell ya - I never saw double or anything like that!  However, I have not had my bifocals on at all since surgery day.  I can see just fine.  Maybe it's the pain meds??  You woke up in the recovery room?  I don't remember the recovery room or coming back to my room at all - just waking up around 3 or 4 to go walk - I don't even remember getting out of bed.  That's so bizarre, but I have a hard time waking up after anesthesia, my body just wants to sleep.

I've been to bariatriceating.com, but have not checked out their message boards.  I will definitely do that.

Doesn't a shower and washing your hair make you feel so much better?  Nothing like your own bathroom. 

I like the EAS premade protein shakes.  They come in chocolate, strawberry and vanilla.  They're easy because they're already made up.  My favorite protein is Muscle Milk Light in chocolate mint.  It's super tasty!

Another way I get protein in is to take some chocolate designer's whey and dissolve it in a little milk.  You can use water if you can't tolerate the milk.  Then I mix it up in a big ole cup of Swiss Miss No Sugar Added Hot Chocolate.  Mmmmmm.....   Make sure you mix it up before adding it to the hot chocolate or you'll have big blobs of yucky protein chunks in your drink.

Hope this helps.
