I have....they r very tart...and u should only take 1/2 at a time because we cannot absorb all 50g of Protein at once.....but watch out...if u r using them immediately after surgery they can cause diarrhea .....fyi!!

From the ingredients listed, it is collagen base Protein as the #1 ingredient:

Purified Water, Proprietary Protein Blend [Hydrolyzed Collagenic Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate And Casein Protein Isolate], Malic Acid, Natural Flavors, Branch Chain Amino Acids (Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine), Acefulmate-Potassium, Sucralose, FD&C Blue #1 Contains: Milk Contains No Preservatives.

From the ASMBS guidelines: Page S93 starts the protein talk and it warns against collagen protein consumption considering it's not a complete protein:

http://s3.amazonaws.com/publicASMBS/GuidelinesStatements/Guidelines/bgs_final.pdf

This medical documentation also proves that there is ZERO scientific evidence that we can not absorb a specific amount of protein per serving/per meal. Our bodies absorb ALL the protein we eat, how it is assimilated and broken down by the body thus how it used by the body is more important. The XX amount of protein per meal/per sitting is complete myth with zero medical or scientific evidence to support that theory. Our bodies simply need a higher quality of protein than what collagen can offer for recovery purposes, and to protect our lean muscle mass and organs after major surgery and extremely limited capacity for nutrient and protein dense foods.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
