Any suggestions on good clear protein drinks?



Recommended Posts

There is Pure, which is flavorless if mixed correctly in Crystal Light or broths. You can order it online. Some of the Isopure is yucky, but I was able to drink the Alpine Punch and the Pineapple/Orange one. Not too bad. Some of the Nectars are kinda clear. My doc was OK with me drinking those.

I mixed the Isopure grape frost with lemonade.

I think Isopure is the only option.. are you sure you can't have regular ones? I had Protein shakes with my Clear Liquids, not only isopure.

But yes, put some SF Kool Aid or Crystal lite in it, makes it taste better

I used AMP Wheybolic Extreme 60 from GNC- chocolate is great, vanilla- had to force it. :) I tried the Isopure drinks and couldn't do them. This one gives you 60 grams of Protein, 280 calories in just 12 oz. I spaced mine out throughout the day and had no problems. It helped keep me full. Good Luck!

Is that a "clear liquid" or a shake? I need clear for the first few days.

I use Jillian whey Choc. Protein, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup 1% milk, 1 big scoop smooth Peanut Butter, ice and Water. i blend mine and it makes one of the best Protein Shakes ever. For you, you will need to keep adding water so it is at the consistency to get down easy. I am out 3 1/2 years. I hated Isopure. No matter how I tried to conjour it it still sucks.

My surgery was yesterday. I am on clear liquid Protein drinks only. I can't have any of that stuff that you add. Protein Shakes are a few days away. When I can it does sound good. Thanks.

I also like the Special K Protein Drinks - 5g's

Unfortunately I never found one I could tolerate, so during my 5 days on clear liquids I got very little Protein. Oh well

Me too. The Isopure was just awful. It had the worst aftertaste I'd ever experienced. So I tried the Biggest Loser protein Water powder and the same problem. I was okay with the Special K protein water powder, but there's only 5g in one packet. Even with that, I could only drink the iced tea flavor. The strawberry kiwi was nasty and also had an aftertaste.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.

      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
