Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I have a post GB patient who does not prefer any of the protein supplements that she has tried. She asked about protein pills that she could take and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations. I have only tried " Proteinex? " and I believe they were only 3 grams per pill and tasted not that great. Thanks for any input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 if you think about the size of a gram and the size of a pill there is no way a patient will ever get the protein they need in pill form...I tell them pills are not appropriate for their needs. I would work with her more on reasons she does not like them and varieties that may have different flavors/textures. -----Original Message-----From: [mailto: ]On Behalf Of jeborgengoetzSent: Wednesday, September 24, 2008 3:23 PM Subject: protein pills I have a post GB patient who does not prefer any of the protein supplements that she has tried.
