My surgeon and nutritionist say stay away from Protein shots. I can't think at this moment what specific ingredient is in this that we shouldn't have. If I read the label I would know. But off the top of my head I don't remember.

Plus we only absorb 30grams of Protein (max) at a time.

If I remember the ingredient I will get back to you. If someone can help me remember that would be great too.

Yeah, they have them at Walmart. That's not whey isolate. (i don't think. I think that's why I skipped them)

The Ingredients are "Water, Complete Protein Matrix (Ids Proprietary Blend of collagen Protein Isolate, whey Protein Isolate, Casein Protein Isolate), Phosphoric Acid, Natural And Artificial Flavor, Sucralose, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Acesulfame Potassium, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Red 40, Calcium Disodium Salt. Contains: Milk." Idk what percentages are, but "blend of collagen protein isolate" comes first, and whey protein isolate comes second. So Idk. It probably isn't really 48 grams that we can digest, but some. I'll ask my nutritionist.

Yup collagen is the bad stuff....would depend on how much whey....my guess is much collagen and little whey....that's just a guess!

Collagen Protein is an incomplete protein meaning that it does not have one or more of the nine essential amino acids. Essential because your body requires them but cannot synthesize them on its own. More importantly, collagen protein has a PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score) score of 0.08 which means that it is virtually indigestible. All the protein in the world is useless if your body can't digest it. The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act requires that ingredients be listed in descending order of predominance and weight. So if collagen is listed first, it is the most predominant ingredient.

      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.
