Bullets are like syrup, one word of advise - dilute dilute dilute.  You need more water then 8 oz to get it down.  Add lots of ice and water and dilute dilute dilute. 

I liked the ISOPURE.  It takes me all day to drink it, it is very filling but I can tolerate it. 

I am lactose intolerant also so I use Genisoy protein powder with juice (no sugar added**** and some fruit and blend.  I can tolerate that.  I cannot handle any of the whey products or I am in the bathroom forever and it aint pretty.

I was told I could not use the bullets because they have something in them that we do not need.  Hydro something.....  So I too do the ispures and even make popsicles out of them....Lots of flavors, best advice drink it cold and shake well before drinking lol

An update:  I am now on my second Body Fortress New Whey Protein Bullet.

I got out one of my prettiest glasses and filled it to the top with crushed ice.  I poured the protein bullet in, and topped it off with cold water.  (probably only about 1/4 cup in these glasses)  Stirred and sipped all afternoon, and I'm now on number 2!!

I'll be going out to get me some more of these!!  It's actually quite good, and I have had no ill after effects.  Each one is 26 gms of protein.

That was going to be my suggestion.  Lots of ice and add cold water until it's tolerable for you.  I loved the bullets pre-op, but unfortunately I haven't been able to drink them since surgery...I can't stand the taste anymore.  It's frustrating!!

The ones I drank had 42 g of protein in each so it's an easy way to get in protein and water doing it the way you are.  Glad it's working for you!

I like the grape bullet with juicy juice grape juice.  You cant tell its even in there and its good.

As for your hair falling out.... TAKE BIOTIN NOW!!!!  I hope someone else already told you.  I missed that whole deal and my hair is very very thin now.


I am glad to see you are trying so hard and pluggin along.  That pretty pink suit is gonna fit you before you know it!

Huge hugs,
Tracy

I've been taking Biotin 1000 mg per day since way before surgery.  Should I be taking more?

Don't know for sure.  My hairdresser says up to 5000 is ok.  But I didn't start on it until a month ago... you may be fine with 1000.

I just hope your hair does better than mine.  You have such nice hair it would be a shame to lose it.

You seem to be doing really well! Keep it up girl!
