My surgery (lapband) is scheduled for Monday, 8/29/2011. I am supposed to have clear liquid protein drinks for first week. they suggest isopure, bariatric advantage, prostat. which are better and where can you get them. I see I can get isopure at GNC.

Isopure is pretty good. I haven't tried the others. Good luck with everything.

Isopure seems to be an acquired taste. When I had my surgery I had the protein shake Unjury. I tried all of the flavors and the Chocolate Splendor was the best. It has 20 grams of protein per serving. I however wanted to get as much protein as possible so I actually double my scoop per serving on meal replacements. you can get it on unjury.com. Good luck on Monday

Did your doctor say the protein had to be clear? I was only allowed clear broth but the protein shakes did not have to be clear and could even be made with fat free milk. NO FRUIT. I would get a confirmation. Premier ready to drink chocolate protein shake tastes very good and is very thin (160 cal. 30 g protein). Good price at Costco.

For my 2 week liquid diet before surgery I used the Bariatric Advantage chocolate flavored drink which I thought was very good. I mixed it with Water or skim milk. The milk gave it a little more flavor and made it slightly thicker.

For my first week post-op, I am using Isopure. The flavor is Strawberries and Cream. Mixed with water it doesn't taste bad at all and it is filling which is good.

For my post-op second week, I just plan on using whatever I have leftover from the two mixes above. No sense in going out and buying something new since I like both of them.

Isopure is so gross. DONT GET IT. Although I LOVE UNJURY I love all of them but the chicken soup flavor.

I've tried a few different ones. unjury, Boost high protien, Glycerna (for diabetes), Atkins. I agree with honk. The best one I've had so far is Premier Nutrition Protien drink. http://www.premiernutrition.com/

I like the fact that it contains 30g of protien per 11oz container. You can find them at costco for around $24 for 18 drinks. The only problem is the limited flavors. Costco only has chocolate. Their website has vanilla and strawberry, but I haven't tried them.

I also keep some Unflavored Unjury powder around to add to recipes like Soup, Chili, etc...

I like Isopure, but i mainly use EAS from Walmart, i get the vanilla. 20 grams and when you add milk to it, get about 28 grams. i drink one every morning as i am not hungry at all in the mornings.

I like Isopure and they have the clear drink or the smoothies. The smoothies taste the best, but I added crystal light into the ice tea drink

and it helped a lot.

I made my own. Whey powder...I have chocolate and vanilla. Turani Sugar free flavored syrups. I use ice cubes, skim milk a scoop of whey. Then add to. For chocolate I add a few slices of frozen banana and about a teaspoon and half of peanut butter....oh so good. With Vanilla.....one scoop whey, 2 frozen strawberries, 1 tablespoon jello sugar free cheesecake pudding mix and the about ice, milk and whey. OH SO GOOD!

I absolute hate Isopure. It was a total waste of money for me because I poured it out. I have been drinking the Muscle Milk Protein water for my "clear liquid" days. My favorite flavor is grape. I found it at the local vitamin shoppe.

I like Unjury that you mix yourself. I really never liked any of the pre-made shakes like EAS, Atkins, etc..I buy Syntrax Nectar powders. I like the Chocolate Truffle, Roadside Lemonade, and Fuzzy Navel. I add some Crystal Light to the Lemonade and Fuzzy Navel to intensify the flavor.
