I was just like you and actually used it in my first couple months post op (because I had already paid for it), but there has been a lot of reports out there that they are being sued due to their labeling. Their Protein measurements are from a clinical trial, its not anything that has been tested and studied outside their company. Anyway, I'm not spending that ridiculous amount on something that I don't know for a fact that I'm getting "medical grade protein". From what I've read, it seems sketchy. @Matt Z could probably provide more info.

I would recommend Isopure for unflavored powder.

Wow, Ash. I just noticed your stats! Wow! You are doing amazing!

Thank you! I've got about 45lb more to go before my first goal. I'm hoping to make it by November 1st. Fingers crossed!

Here is the link to the lawsuit

And there is no industry standard for "Medical grade protein" it's just a made up term they've concocted to sound more impressive than they really are, that's in the lawsuit as well.

"Further, Plaintiff maintains that GenePro's marketing and packaging statement that it contains "medical grade" Protein is incorrect, false, and misleading, as no industry or FDA standard for "medical grade" protein exists. (Id. at ¶¶ 23-24)"

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
