Keep in mind that even though the name is "New Whey" it is mostly collagen Protein, not whey. If you are looking for true whey protein, you'll have to keep looking. There is a lot of debate over whether collagen protein can really be effectively absorbed and used.

collagen is a poor form of Protein that is not absorbed well by the body. Also there is some belief that it is not beneficial to consume more than 30 grams of protein at any one time. It can be taxing on the kidneys and not fully absorbed.

I agree with the other answers but before I actually researched Protein I bought some of these in Orange. I barely took a sip and it was the most horrid thing I'd ever tasted in my life. I gave them to a co-worker that uses protein powders as he's trying to aid in gaining muscle when he works out. Even he said he couldn't finish it it was so bad. You've been warned. :)

I eat their Protein bars. They are the best thing ever!

Everything I read says they're not a good option, but my program actually stated these were what I should drink during the first week to get Protein (clear liquids only). I stopped drinking them after the first week when I could add Protein Shakes.< /p>

When I'm on the clear liquid diet I'll be using this one:

I will probably mix it with coconut wate. I also plan on adding it to my bone broth and making homemade jello/gummies with it.

ETA: When I actually go shopping to find a low sugar juice (diluted with water) to use to flavor the jello/gummies, I think I'll also make some popcicles. Someone on FB mentioned cranberry juice but I haven't looked at the ingredients yet.

It was disgusting. I added some crystal light to dilute it but still couldn't drink it.

      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?
