I accidentally bought the wrong protein. I bought sustained release protein blend. I was just wondering if this was ok to use. I'm 7 months out don't know if that makes a difference.

You did not necessarily buy the wrong protein.  There are some kinds of protein that just take longer to digest/absorb than others (and both kinds are ok).  The protein that is a problem is the collagen protein which won't get absorbed at all.  Some of the Syntrax protein powders, for example, are advertised as "sustained release protein", but they are whey protein blends and are perfect for us.  Always look at the ingredients list rather than the advertising on the container!  If the FIRST protein listed contains the word "whey" you are good to go.
