It's 15 grams of Protein in 70 calories and 2 carbs. I saw them at my local grocer and picked one up. I have to say that they taste way better than Isopure and are a lot less expensive. I wonder about Protein quality, though, as it is a whey/ collagen blend. Any thoughts?

These are at GNC. 40 grams of Protein. These are nice for me because it's hard for me to eat protein. I don't like meat.

A lot of people are turned off by the Isopure because of the taste/after taste. Someone here recommended halfing it w G2 which is fantastic. I drink 10oz everyday now to get my protein in.

I'm curious why collagen based Protein is not recommended? I haven't heard this, so I am just curious on their reasoning. Maybe it is a quality thing or an absorbability thing?

Sorry it took me a month to see this... My dietician told me that collagen, while technically a Protein, isn't absorbed or isn't absorbed as well.

      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!!
