It's 15 grams of Protein in 70 calories and 2 carbs. I saw them at my local grocer and picked one up. I have to say that they taste way better than Isopure and are a lot less expensive. I wonder about Protein quality, though, as it is a whey/ collagen blend. Any thoughts?

These are at GNC. 40 grams of Protein. These are nice for me because it's hard for me to eat protein. I don't like meat.

I was told to stay away from any Protein containing collagen.< /p>

A lot of people are turned off by the Isopure because of the taste/after taste. Someone here recommended halfing it w G2 which is fantastic. I drink 10oz everyday now to get my protein in.

I'm curious why collagen based Protein is not recommended? I haven't heard this, so I am just curious on their reasoning. Maybe it is a quality thing or an absorbability thing?

Sorry it took me a month to see this... My dietician told me that collagen, while technically a Protein, isn't absorbed or isn't absorbed as well.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
