I bought a pack of 12 in the orange flavor off of Ebay and tried one today...YUCK!!!!

Maybe if I keep it cold or if I dilute it with ice or water the taste will improve?!

I thought it would be a good investment with each tube containing 42g of protein.  Anyone drink them???

they're NASTY... they picked that shape because they taste like ...
yeah this a G rated forum so I'll leave it at that

From what I've read they don't have the right type of protien in them either

maybe try mixing them with water or juice?

just a suggestion... I have that whole "Don't throw food away" stigma

LMAO!

You're right about that...I'll have to try diluting them somehow.  I'll have to read about the protein content too.

Thanks!

I never could drink those nasty things, no matter how I tried, but my former partner loved them.  Everyone is different I guess!

There is some controversy over the quality of the protein in the bullets. Some folks say never use them, others say they use them with no problems, some nutritionists say OK, others say No Way.
I used them early on, granted I have the sleeve and not RNY but I did use them so can perhaps offer some suggestions of how to get them down.
I did not like using them right out of the tube, felt like warm jello and not that was just not right.
I found that if I chilled them and poured them in with my water (I used the half liter water bottles) that they flavored the water and I could not really "taste" them per se. Other folks have mixed them in with their crystal lite and that worked for them as well.
My favorite flavor was the blue raspberry.
Whatever you do is it truthful, necessary and kind?

There supposed to be the wrong type of protein.  I wasn't able to tolerate the shakes in the beginning, so my NUT had me try them.  I mixed one with 32 oz of water and sipped on it during the day and kept adding ice.  I thought the orange was the worst, the grape and fruit punch were what I used the most.

 Tried it once and never again! There are some out there that love them and I was not one of them.

I bought a bunch of them too.  No way can you eat them right out of the phallic container but I have had success mixing half of one in an 16.9 ounce bottle.  You can hardly taste it that way.

Tell me more about the bad protein.  I have not heard about that. I am relying on these to make sure I get in all my protein but if it is bad protein, well, I need to find something else.

The best protein for us (supplement wise) is whey protein isolate...it is supposed to be the most absorbable and highest quality.  The bullets get the majority of their protein from cellulose, which isn't as beneficial.

Some people swear by them.  A lot of our successful longer termers, though, give them a nutritional thumbs down.   Do some searches and you'll find the past threads on them.

Here is such a funny story about theses.......I was one week out from surgery and I  started to buy a few things to get ready for WLS the next week.  I ordered  New-Whey liquid protein.  It comes in individual containers and has 42 grams of protein per serving.  On the website, the container looked like a small test tube size container and I thought it would be perfect for traveling.  I travel on a plane a lot for work and I thought the protein shot would be small so I can put  a couple in my clear quart size travel bag to take on the plane (I typically do not check luggage) so I can always get my quota of protein even when away from home.

WELL, when the mail man dropped of my package from GNC I was so excited to check out my goodies.  I opened the box of the individual serving sizes of New-Whey liquid protein shots and almost fell off my chair.  There is no way that I am going to put even one of  these things in my clear zip lock bag and go through security at the airport.  These things look like a woman's sex toy.  Oh my gosh, I am still laughing so hard that I can hardly type.  Now, why would they do that? Hmmmm....
