Sleeve_Me_Alone

My 13yo son has chronic GI issues and has to have EDGs every 3 months. He's had to get a COVID test before every one for the last 16 months (6ish times total...?). He says that it makes his eyes water and feels like he got a little water up his nose, but its not as miserable as people make it out to be (his words, not mine). I will have to do one ahead of my surgery and having watched him do it like a champ half a dozen times, I'm sure it'll be just fine!

Actually, for skin/hair/nail/joint support, the studies are pretty encouraging and the emerging science wholly supports collagen as a viable supplement. There is less data around collagen for muscle building/repair, but that's not my goal in taking it, so not a concern. I understand it's not a complete protein and therefore not a suitable sole source. Just wondering if, generally speaking, it should count towards overall protein goal. I don't want to short change myself, but also don't want to constantly be striving to hit a goal that I might already be achieving. Sent from my SM-A205U using BariatricPal mobile app
