Hi sleeve fam!

I just wanted you to know, (if you don't already) there's a protein shot sold at vitamin shoppe, 3.8 ounces, 42 grams of protein, 0 fat, 0 sugar, 2g carb. If you have trouble meeting your protein goals try this as a snack. It helps me when im feeling lethargic, from lack of protein. Im 7 weeks post op and have lost 41 lbs since surgery, 50 total. GOOO me! I know my stalls are coming, (I hope not) but Im sure they are, so when the doc says more protein, this will be my secret weapon.

its called NEW WHEY liquid protein. it come sin 3 flavors, ( at vitamin shoppe) there may be more. Acai berry, watermelon, and fruitpunch. Doesn't taste too bad. Kind of taste like a now and later shot.

Please visit https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov and use the term collagen to search. Google collagen study and you’ll see tons of information and studies.

I actually went there right after I asked for links. All I found were ones related to a very small difference in the appearance cellulite that only existed in normal weight women ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4685482/ ) and a few about the effect on skin (wrinkles and elasticity) where the results were small, negligible, mixed or not statistically significant.

So maybe I am not searching the right terms? Or maybe the research you refer to is new/proprietary/hasn’t been published yet?

Could you help a girl out here?

In this study whey supplements led to weight loss while collagen ones did not—
