A great solution to get our protein
This a must try everyone!!! There is a protein drink called Profect, you can order it online. It comes in little 2.7 oz individual test tube size. And there are 25 grams of protein in each drink, and no sugar and no fat, 100 calories. And best of all they are delicious, can't even taste the protein. They are very sweet, 2 gulps and it is gone. You can even carry the little tubes in your purse, though they are best cold. There are 4 flavors. I was introduced to them by a bariatric dietician. They have a website Protica.com...check it out.
I have some I am willing to part with, contact me.
I bought them pre-op and my nut advised against them.

I don't know of any stores that sell them. I got my sample from the McLaren Hospital bariatric dietician in Flint. If you do decide to order them enter the discount code PR15 at the end of the ordering process and you will get a 15% discount (if you order a case which is 24 vials.)I did not taste any after taste at all in the sample I had. If you do order it please put my name, Linda Foley, or affiliate #251 in the part where it asks you *****ferred you, then I will get a couple $ to put towards my next purchase. And you can do the same if anybody you refer makes a purchase. I really hope you try it and like it because I am really excited about finding something to fulfill my protein requirements so easily and tastily, and am hoping others will like it as much as I did!!!
Just a heads up, while they are easy to drink and taste ok, my dietician said they are amino acid based and are not considered a "complete protien." We need soy or whey based products. Too much of an amino acid based protein can lead to muscle wasting. It is missing vital elements that a bariatric patient needs.
You might wannt check up on it a little more and ask around, I thought the same thing you did (when I was pre-op) and I spent $65+ on a case that is just sitting on my counter.

I am going back to my dietician tomorrow and will talk to her about the amino acid thing. I just ordered 2 cases of the stuff, and sure hope I can use it. I will let you all know what she has to say. Maybe you better not order any until you talk to your own dieticians. Thanks for all of your comments.
