I see your point, but my goal isn't to get more protien in one sitting it''s to get more coffee! LOL I guess I will have to play around with the RTDs, although I really love the inspire protien 4oz of coffee just ain't gonna cut it and I dont want to go back to creamer it has way more calaries and carbs because I use so much because I need my coffee creeeeaaaaaammmmmmmyyyyyy!
Thanks for all the help and advise,

I've seen folks who like the "double scoop" method with their protein powders. My train of thoughts tends to be, why get it all in one drink and put all those calories in just one, when I could break them down into 2, and enjoy one in the morning, one in the afternoon?
Later in the weight loss journey, a lot counts on CALORIES. Early on when we aren't able to eat much, and depend so religiously on our protein shakes... double scooping may have its advantages (though, I have never practiced double scoops). But, later when we are able to eat more, able to enjoy food more, yet have to watch calorie ingestion... double scooping tends to be a bad idea, IMHO.
Have you tried using any of the RTD proteins in a larger cup of coffee? You may like Pure Protein, Oh Yeah, Muscle Milk, or Labrada RTD. That would still give you 20-25 grams of protein but with more coffee.
You can find these RTDs at The Vitamin Shoppe, Whole Foods and online. I'm not sure if GNC carries any of them or not as I don't shop there. Someone else may be able to tell you if GNC carries any of them.

P E A C E - It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
Thank you Michael. I knew I'd read the study before, just didn't remember where to go to find it and haven't had time to search again.

There has been a study and it does state that the body will only absorb (in general) 25-30g per sitting, but still determined by the individual as we are all different.
here is an article to the study: jn.nutrition.org/cgi/content/full/128/10/1716
ALL patients should be following the guidlines of their own surgen/Nut on all food intake and choices.
Most centers state that 25-30g is all that is obsorbed. You are basicly "wasting" the rest of protein. There is no benefit or ill effect if you eat more than this amount.

Since the malabsorption with RNY is different than that for VSG, I will continue to follow the guidelines of my nutritionist and surgeon concerning protein and vitamin intake.
In the 4+ years since my surgery, my labs have been great by following their guidance and I've had no other issues related to my surgery.
Carry on....
