Has anyone ever seen chewable protein vitamins (or tried them)?  I'm wondering if we are allowed (I lost my nutritionist's email)

We probably are as we can do most any chewable suppliment but I would check with the surgeon first.

Interesting!  Looks like an easy way to get your protein, I just wonder if it's a "good" source?  Hmmm..do they taste like a grilled steak? lol! That would be nice. The thought of what they really taste like puts a little vomit in my mouth..ewe!

Its not a good source because its so low.. You would need 1000mg to make up 1 gram of protein. 
So basically you would have to take 4 of those pills just to get 1 gram of protein.

You can, however the amount of protein you are getting is so low its not really worth it. You would need 1000mg to make up 1 gram of protein.  So basically you would have to take 4 pills just to get 1 gram of protein.
