collagen Protein Isolate is not a "whole" form of protein. It lacks I believe 3 measures of the protein family (amino acids), which is lacking in tryptophan, isoleucine, threonine and methionine.

These Isopure Protein shots were recommended by my doctor and nutritionist -- especially in the first week for Clear liquids. I can't find on the website if it's whey Protein isolate or concentrate -- I know the isolate is supposed to be a better form of protein.

I'm planning to have some during post-op but I've tasted one and BOY are they nasty! I think I'll have to mix it in with a ton of Water and just choke it down.

OK -- just saw it's a blend of whey Protein isolate, collagen isolate and casein isolate. It doesn't say how much of each.

Regardless, these were recommended by the name brand by my doc and NUT so I will be using them .

Some people can't take anything else, lots of Proteins make them sick. If this is all you can stand then go for it, something is better than nothing. It's probably a good idea to search for whole proteins however in the mean time.

Have you tried Isopure? Watered down it is high in all Protein families and tho it is a bit chalky it doesn't taste too bad.

I used these early on often. 1 thing I found though is you DO NOT want to drink them all in 1 sitting. Space it out over time. If I drank it all in 1 sitting they gave me the shitz. :blink:

I get my Isopure from GNC. They are clear and in glass RTD. Yes they are a better form of Protein. I have to Water them down because the flavor is very over powering and ever since my sleeve surgery which is going on 4 years ago now my taste buds can't take so much flavoring in drinks.< /p>

these 'shots' were also recommended to me by my dietician for the first 3 days immediately post op, simply to get some Protein in when it will be a hard struggle to get ANYTHING in!

i went to wal-mart and got two Acai berry flavor and one Watermelon flavor. i am going to fun to the wal-mart in my parent's town and they have the green apple flavor and fruit punch flavor there.

i was told 1.5 of these each day for 3 days...

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
