I am sorry I am so slow to respond, but here's a follow-up to my earlier posting...you can get the protein shots and bars at a pharmacy or Wal-Mart. You can also get the shots at "Smoothie King" if you have one nearby.

    Confused
    Seof, you can actually go into WalMart and buy a protein shot? Is it at the pharmacy? I have never heard of this. And, you just give yourself the shot? Where? Or, am I not understanding this? thanks!

    LOL
    Hey Leeza...I think they are shots in the sense that you would do a "shot" of liquor! You know...down the hatch!! I do caffine shots once in a while if I am wanning in the afternoon and need to finish something. They REALLY boost me!! ♥Pammy

    Sorry it is confusing
    Yes, the term "shot" is confusing, I should have clarified. It is "shot" in the term of a drink, not injection.

    Oh
    I was confused by this too when I saw the first posting about it. I couldn't understand how they would just give us injections of protein to take home and shoot ourselves up with. So, I am going to blame the absence of my brain working on rad brain. lol Thanks for clearing this up seof. I will have to check into this. I sure could use something to give me more energy.

    Hugs, Diane ♥

    I need it!
    I am going to look into getting these "shots". Can you get them at any pharmacy? Do you have to ask for them or are they just on the shelves? Ok, I am confused bad too.
