We tried releasing a line of pea based protein powders but they tasted horrible and we just couldn't get it to taste awesome. I haven't given up on that project but it's not at the top of our list at the moment.

We don't have many vegan options. I suggest doing a quick search like https://store.bariatricpal.com/pages/search-results-page?q=vegan to see our Vegan options.

We just started carrying the entire line of Sparta Nutrition protein in the BariatricPal Store ! Some flavors are already sold out and will be back in stock tomorrow.

Zollipops , Zolli Drops , and Zaffi Taffy are now available at the BariatricPal Store! Born from the imagination of Kidpreneur Alina Morse, Zollipops, Zolli Drops, and Zaffi Taffy are delicious organic treats supercharged with Xylitol, Erythritol, Stevia and other smile friendly natural ingredients that are actually good for your teeth! Zollipops treats are a favorite among dentists, teachers, families and weight loss surgery patients and perfect for lunches, parties and as healthy rewards or prizes.

I know Dr. Vuong for over a decade. He is a very nice and entertaining guy who IMHO gives out so-so medical and surgical advice. He bounced around from practice to practice and has never been able to make it as a bariatric surgeon.

I wrote the article.

I’m sorry but I don’t have a copy of the entire case. You can get it on Pacer. See https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/22176786/Gregorio_v_Premier_Nutrition_Corporation .

Spartan Whey is unlike any whey protein you've ever tasted. Why limit yourself to a boring or watery shake when you can enjoy a truly delicious milkshake experience with Spartan Whey ? Not only is the overall taste unrivaled, but Spartan Whey includes micro-granulated inclusions of cookies, cereal and other delicious treats to add even more flair to an already-insane flavor explosion!

Please do more research. You’re very mistaken. See http://bariatrictimes.com/protein-and-the-bariatric-patient-supplemental-protein-or-amino-acids/ . Google a little and you’ll find MANY studies showing that WPI is definitely the way to go for patients that have malabsorptive procedures.

Casein might be OK for gastric sleeve patients after the post op liquid phase. It’s most definitely NOT ok for gastric bypass or DS patients. See Dr. Rollers post above.

My personal fave is strawberries and fresh mint leaves.

You have so many other less expensive options. I'm personally not a huge fan of Unjury's Opurity Vitamin line. Check some alternatives out at https://store.bariatricpal.com/collections/multivitamins . The ProCare Health capsules are super popular at the moment. They make them with Iron and without. As a Bypass patient, I am assuming your surgeon suggested iron supplementation.

The charts should be fixed now. Thanks for letting me know about that issue. We are going to be releasing a massive update to health and fitness tracking on our app first quarter of 2019.

We stopped selling GENEPRO for a short while and many customers got very upset. They tell us that they know that they aren't getting in any more protein than regular protein but they like the way it mixes. That's what we tell anyone that asks us.

The jury went to work on Premier Protein, and the verdict is in – almost literally. Premier Protein is in trouble for its misleading label claims on its protein shakes. Not only that, but the shakes may not be all they’re cracked up to be when it comes to helping you lose weight. Here is the story. Legal Trouble for Premier Protein Premier Protein sells all kinds of protein shakes. The ones whose labels state that they have 30 grams of protein per serving are the ones in the settlement. Analysis has found that they have 26 to 29 grams. The flavors that are in the settlement are Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberries & Cream, Banana & Cream, Peaches & Cream, Cookies & Cream, Mixed Berry, Organic Chocolate, Organic Vanilla, and Caramel. While the company is not admitting wrongdoing or ceasing the sale of these products, there is a class action settlement. You may be eligible for a cash payout if you purchased any of the misleading shakes in the past 7 years, since 2011. Pre-op or post-op, you need to know how much protein is in your shakes. Not Best for Bariatric Patients Every gram of protein counts, but the deception in amount of protein per serving is not the only problem. Even if you are willing to overlook the shortfall in the amount of protein, Premier Protein has a problem with type of protein. Read the ingredients carefully, and you will see that less than 1% of the product is “whey protein concentrate.” Whey protein is the type of protein that you should be looking for because it absorbs more quickly than casein. Whey protein has been shown to increase weight loss and body fat loss in bariatric surgery patients. Another glance at the list of ingredients of Premier Protein shows that “milk protein concentrate” and “casein” are the major sources of protein. Casein is slow-acting. If you had a bariatric surgery type, such as gastric bypass, that interferes with absorption, you may not get all the benefits from casein. What’s Better? We know that you need a protein supplement, so what can you find that has the amount and type of protein you need and the great taste that will encourage you to take care of your needs? BariatricPal Protein One gets our vote. 27 grams of whey protein. 28 vitamins and minerals. Great-tasting French Vanilla, Cinnamon Swirl, and Double Chocolate Fudge. It has a few more advantages over Premier Protein. Over twice as much dietary fiber for fullness and digestive health. Choose from convenient single-serving packets or multi-serving tubs. Comes in powder so you can add water or your favorite beverage. Has an “unflavored” option so you can add it to anything, from soup to smoothies. When it comes to bariatric products, quality counts. Any purchase you make should be from a trusted source because there are a lot of poor-quality or misleading products out there. The few grams of difference between Premier Protein’s claims and reality may not be a lot, but along with the poor choice of casein instead of whey as the main protein source, you might want to seek another source for your protein. Look for a trusted vendor and name brand as you make your choice. What you put in your body really does matter.

I just looked at ingredients of Premier Protein Shakes on their website: It's been years since I've looked at the ingredients. Essentially, it's just like drinking regular milk!

I'm not a huge fan of Premier Protein, to begin with. This is what one of my bariatric surgeon friends posted about Premier Protein.

A class action lawsuit was filed against Premier Nutrition Corporation alleging it misrepresented the amount of protein contained in its “Premier Protein” branded ready-to-drink protein products and protein bars. They just settled for $9 Million. You can get up to $40 if you've purchased Premier Protein over the last few years. Visit https://www.proteinshakesettlement.com/ for more details.

How is the site and app speed going for everyone at the moment, please?
