I'm looking for things that I can have during my first week after surgery because I am only allowed to have Water based things such as popsicles,jello,broth and water based Protein for the first week before I can move onto thicker liquids such as yogurt and shakes. I found something call Isopure at GNC, it has 40 grams of protein in a 20oz bottle and 0 carbs. I think thats pretty good. I wanted to know had anyone tried Isopure before and did it leave them with a full feeling? And also what flavors did you enjoy the most?

I am currently using the ISo Sensation and it is pretty good. It does leave me feeling full. The flavour I have is banana. Does not taste like a pizza, but fills the void when hungry :-)

I think the Isopure is great for when you're feeling hungry, it definitely takes away the hunger pains. I've only tried the apple, I like it diluted with ice and Water. You could probably put it in the blender and make a slushee. :)

My surgeon recommended it to me. He drinks it when he works out!

Occasionally I use it as a supplement between meals. I haven't noticed that it makes me feel any more full than, say Water. But it definitely has the Protein we need!

Best wishes on your exciting weight loss journey!

I liked the grape, passion fruit, strawberry/orange/banana and alpine fruit punch the best.

I bought 2 bottles and it has white stuff floating in it. Is this normal?

Isopure filled my pouch easily and I was full. It was a great protein option for a light liquid. The texture to me was horrible. it was very slimey and then chalky even with vigorous shaking. The actual flavor was not bad. I had a mango flavor I believe. Once I could move to shakes on day 3 I went back to my EAS Myoplex AdvantEDGE.

The white fibers are part of the Protein complex I believe. It may actually be a sugar substitute that solidified.

When you shake it they go away but come back.

It was part of the reason I did not like the texture.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
