Question about specific protein bullet...42g protein

And before someone says it...yes, I have have used the search feature!! I found many posts saying protein bullets in general are bad because it has collagen protein, but I found a specific brand saying that these are good for bariatric patients and there does not appear to be collagen in the ingredients list:

Ingredients: Purified water, (Proprietary blend of Biopeptide, casein protein isolate, WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE), malic acid, phosphoric acid, citric acid, natural mixed berry, sucralose, sodium benzoate (less than 0.1%) to preserve freshness, potassium sorbate (less than 0.1%) to preserve freshness

I am only asking about this because I am really having a difficult time getting all my protein in.  I'm over 2 weeks out and it's still taking me about 1.5 hours to get a shake down, sometimes more.

 

Whoops...actually typed the website into the search field and found info on it...sorry.  You can still answer if you want if you have any experience with this particular brand of protein.

Also...I need some other protein ideas...I'm in puree stage and I can't seem to get enough in.  My stomach feels painful if I do more than sip, I can only eat about a tablespoon of puree, there has only been one day since surgery that I got both water and protein in...really struggling here and need some suggestions. 

Ohhhh this looks exciting... expensive, but exciting...

Casein protein is a slow absorption protein.  I drink it at night as recommended by the gym folks.  Whey protein is recommended for post workout/exertion and faster absorbing, so I drink this during the day.  I also mix the two from time to time.  I'm waiting for the doctor to request my labs to see if the Casein has been a benefit, but I believe I read somewhere in the forum that it is lower on the list of desired proteins, but higher than collagen.


Edit: I should add that I do not drink the bullet, but instead bought a casein powder that I mix.

I'm six weeks post-op tomorrow. I have a hard time getting my protein in. I have bought the non-collagen bullets from netrition.com 42gm for 3 oz. They taste bad just by themselves. What I do is buy the sugar free clear drink from walmart,pour 8-10 oz in a glass stir to make it flat, then add the bullet to taste. Sometimes I will add ice, sometimes I will drink it warm. There are different flavors of water, black cherry and peach aren't bad. Still goes slow to drink it. Now you can buy only one bullet at walmart for about 2.50, and a bottle of flavored water for .69 to see if you like it.
Trying to get all my protein with food is so hard right now, this just helps. Good Luck

First, I understand your concern about not being able to get enough protein. That would be a big issue for me, too.

Since the ingredient list says the proteins are a "proprietary blend", I am curious what percentage is Whey Protein Isolate and what percentage is Casein Protein. Two different types of protein. One absorbs very easily (whey) and the other is a very slow absorbing protein. The amounts are not broken down, but the whey protein is last on the list, which to me indicates the smaller amount. . I'd hate for you to spend $42.00 on 12 bottles only to find you're still not getting enough protein because there is a far higher percentage of the casein protein. Just my thoughts.

No, it's much worse.  There are THREE types of protein, and whey is listed as third.  Their brand "Biopeptide" is the first ingredient.  It's likely to be collagen.

Kairk you are always so sweet and thoughtful!

Early out hydration is thre most important thing to concentrate on. I ordered the chicken soup from Unjury.com 21g of protein and had 1 shake (30g) and drank water. The more you sip,sip,sip the easier it becomes to get it down. It is tough early out but getting the liquids in will save you a trip to the hospital.

I just did a quick search for whey vs. casein and found an interesting article where they did a small study. I thought it was interesting. Not scientific, but interesting...

edit: Research published in the March 2011 issue of "The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" indicates that whey can promote increased calorie burning and fat oxidation than casein, although casein may provide more satiety (fullness)
