The Protein base is hydrolyzed collagen protein as the first ingredient. This form of protein is the cheapest, and least absorbed protein form on the market. I used them with my band only because the nut told me I could, I couldn't tolerate them with my sleeve. The collagen Proteins are supposedly made from boiled cow hides. Not the best form of protein, and your body won't absorb the majority of it for recovery purposes.

ditto...that is what I was told too....avoid the collagen

same reason body builders don't use it anymore

google collagen and body building.....and you can read tons of articles about why they avoid it

What about protica? your input on this one would be appreciated.

Hi,

I've been using these but Bullet Nutrition, they don't appear to have collagen, just casein and whey Protein isolate. I showed them to my NUT she said they were fine. I put half a package of crystal light and they taste like kool aid.

All of the shots are collagen, and the casein Proteins are mainly used as food additives. whey isolate or soy Protein are the most readily assimilated and absorbed by the body for recovery post-op. Along with the proper amounts of amino acids need to make assimilation possible and readily available to the body for appropriate usage by our bodies.

The shots have "some" whey isolate in them, but it's not enough for you to be able to count it as a complete Protein, plus main ingredient in most shots is just Water.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
