This reminds me... I need to get back to doubling my scoops and getting 50+ in one shot of 8-12 oz. prefer the 8oz less is better but the thick gags me. And to have to do two shakes kills me!!!

Yes, I prefer to get in as much at one time and be done with it! I've tried freezing it but didn't care for it but it might be cuz it's strawberry and it gags me anyway!

I'm doubLing the powder on my shake...i can get 52g in one 8oz shake

Your body can only process 30 grams of Protein at a time so you are wasting the other 22.

Just remember that you're body can only absorb 30 grams at a time. Unless you're splitting the shake up into 2 servings you're wasting 22 grams.

I drink the already made my Protein Shakes you can buy at Sams Club. They are 30 grams in once can and they taste like chocolate milk. Also low in sugar. I figure one for Breakfast and another around dinner would be 60 grams. And plus food if be set for my Protein for the day.

I split that into 3 servings...there's no way I could drink all that at once

Ok, great! Would hate to have you waste any Protein.... It's hard enough getting it in!! I have to try some other flavors because its getting boring!

      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.
