The Protein base is hydrolyzed collagen protein as the first ingredient. This form of protein is the cheapest, and least absorbed protein form on the market. I used them with my band only because the nut told me I could, I couldn't tolerate them with my sleeve. The collagen Proteins are supposedly made from boiled cow hides. Not the best form of protein, and your body won't absorb the majority of it for recovery purposes.

same reason body builders don't use it anymore

google collagen and body building.....and you can read tons of articles about why they avoid it

What about protica? your input on this one would be appreciated.

Hi,

I've been using these but Bullet Nutrition, they don't appear to have collagen, just casein and whey Protein isolate. I showed them to my NUT she said they were fine. I put half a package of crystal light and they taste like kool aid.

All of the shots are collagen, and the casein Proteins are mainly used as food additives. whey isolate or soy Protein are the most readily assimilated and absorbed by the body for recovery post-op. Along with the proper amounts of amino acids need to make assimilation possible and readily available to the body for appropriate usage by our bodies.

The shots have "some" whey isolate in them, but it's not enough for you to be able to count it as a complete Protein, plus main ingredient in most shots is just Water.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
