Not Doctor Recommended
I had the VSG Weight Loss Surgery and I was told by others who had the surgery to use these "protein shots" that will add the needed protein I will need I started using them and I thought they were pretty good but after consulting with my doctor he stated they are not good at all and it is mostly collegen and is not beneficial as a protein supplement, they might state 42 grams of protein but it is not If you look at the ingredients you will see that they are made primarily from collagen protein. Not only is this a significantly inferior form of protein to begin with (compared to whey or whey isolate), but -- more importantly -- they do not have the necessary amino acids to enable your body to absorb even the crappy protein that they do have very little protein and a lot of collegen. I wasted $50 on 3 dozen of these things but you live and learn, back to the protein shakes.
