I had a terrible time with the shakes too and ended up going to GNC to get 'protein shots' that come in 12 vials that are 3oz each. They contain 42 grams of protein per shot. Give it s try... Made by New Whey and several other brands.

BTW I am post op May 2008

Most protein "shots" or "bullets", including New Whey according to their nutrient list, include collagen protein. The high protein amount (usually 40g or more) combined with low volume (usually 3 to 4 oz) is extremely attractive to us RNY types but...

The digestibility of different protein types is ranked by the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) which has been adopted by the FDA, the World Health Organization, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The PDCAAS uses a scoring system of 0 to a maximum of 1 according to the digestibility of different types of protein by the body. Whey protein has a score of 1.0, milk protein 0.94, and soy protein 0.97. Collagen or gelatin protein has a score of 0.08.

Collagen is also an "incomplete" protein meaning that it is missing one or more of the nine essential amino acids (essential because they cannot be manufactured by the body). Any incomplete protein could result in developing protein deficiency and is not recommended for weight loss surgery patients.

So collagen has extremely poor digestibility and is an incomplete protein. For these reasons, I would discourage anyone from using products containing collagen protein. All the protein in the world is useless if it cannot be digested by the body. There are many alternatives made with far superior whey, milk or soy proteins.

DL,

Thank you in advance for sharing you hard work putting the list together. Would you kindly forward me a copy to czink@rochester.rr.com.
