Don't - it is disgusting, and not a good source of Protein. It tastes like hay, or dirt, or something. It's absolutely disgusting, and I still have a package in my kitchen. It's also collagen protein which isn't like animal or whey protein. Save your money in my opinion.

What @@rolosmom7 said. It's not the good sort of Protein and besides your body can only process about 30 g of Protein at a time so the 42 though it sounds awesome really isn't benefiting your body as much as you would think it is. I say stick with the Protein shakes ( i personally love Premier Protein) and get some good flavorless Protein powder and add it to everything you can. Good luck!!

I bought a variety pack, thinking that the low volume/high Protein may help during my first week or two post op. I tried the orange earlier this week and IT TASTES TERRIBLE. I've tried a lot of Proteins over the last 2 years and this is easily the worst ever.

I'm not concerned that it's over 30g because I will only be drinking it if I can't get down more than a few sips at a time, so it'll be spread out. Also my NUT said that I can use non-optimal Proteins (like pea proteins or collegean) as long as I only have one a day, and have some whey Protein during that same day to make sure I get the micronutrients.

      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?
