No. Not unless something has come out recently. It would be nice though.

I had the same Question...when I was a fresh post op...The answer is yes there are protein pills...If you do a google searsh you will see that they are flavored...and even chewable....but now the down side...they are not very effective...Example...you generally have to eat 3 of these pill to give you 1.4 grms of protein....that mean you have to eat aobut 120 of these pill a day to get your needed protein of 40 grams....I think you would probably go thru about a whold bottle a day.....I have not tried them but I don;t think 100 of these a day would bee too tasty... I read that there is a new protein drink, Profect I think is the name, that gets you 25 grams of protein, in a 3 ounce shot....that might be better than trying to get in a big shake.... I hope this helps

If you are trying to find a easier way to add protein to your diet do to www.unjury.com This is a great way to add protein to your diet. This product is made of whey protein not soy. I make myself a very special shake each day that contains 32 grams of protein. The other 18 I get in my food for the day. I use 8 ounces of skim milk, one package of no sugar added (very important)carnation instant breakfast (it is in a blue box) and one scoop unjury protein powder. It takes me 2 hours to get it all down, but I know I have a good start on my day. I use it for breakfast and my mid morning snack.

Try the Profect drinks, they are new out. The are only 2.7 ounces, so it is not tough to get down. The have 25 grams of protein in them, which is all your body can absorb in 1 hour anyway and it is only 2 or 3 swallows. I drink them cold and highly recommend them. Iwon't say that they are great tasting, but anything that will get me 25 grams of protein in 2.7 ounces, with no carbs and only a 100 calories is great in my book. Try them. go to Protica.com. They have a 4 flavor assortment. They are not cheap, but the more you order the cheaper they are. Give them a try, I think they are the greatest thing I have found. Debbie
