Where Can I buy clear protein?



Recommended Posts

I remember someone here mention they have used a "clear" Protein called Natures Best Zero. Is that the correct name? I can not find it locally. Where did you purchase yours?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks guys. That's why I LOVE this cite. Everyone is so helpful!!!!!!! I figured I could use this while I'm on Clear Liquids. Does anyone think that will be a problem? It's the last thing I need to pick up before my surgery(4/24)

Alexra: Your my new idol. Girl you look sexy. 125 lbs lost- that is outstanding. If I can get half those results I'll have my DH panting like a dog!!! LOL

Thanks again,

Roberta

I was wondering how you are doing and if you are getting all your supplies in. You'll be able to tell me by the time I have my surgery what I need. I'm going to be pretty lost I think. I'll be thinking of you on the 24th and sending prayers your way.

Hi Dody,

I actually finished picking up what I needed 3 weeks ago. The clear Protein was an after thought for when we should be having clear liquids. However, the Isopure has Bovine Serum in it , so I'll pass on that. No Steer blood for me. YUK

Thanks so much for your kind words. I'll PM you before I go in.

I use Isopure zero carb liquid (already prepared bottles) not poweder. It does not contain Bovine Serum but whey Protein from milk. It has really helped me. Some taste better than others and a few I put just a small amount of 100% juice in. They are great for me. One bottle has 40g of protein and I can take it and go all day. I buy mine at GNC. I believe it's Nature's Best brand. I also bought things ahead and found out I didn't need them. As they were unopened, GNC took them back with no problem.

SRaeM, you are a life saver. Thank you, thank you, for replying. I have bought other Proteins but none have as much protein as the Isopure. That Bovine serum had turned me off and I couldn't find anything else. I will go tomorrow and get some from GNC.:clap2: :clap2: I'm now totally prepared for my surgery 4/24

You are in my thoughts each and every day waiting for this big event...selfish cause I'm looking for you to help guide me through the first rough days. There's a method to my madness!! In all seriousness I will be thinking about you all day and sending out prayers for you. As soon as you are able please PM me and let me know how you are. I'd appreciate that. I know you will do just fine, and the cupboards are surely stocked well it seems. You are right on the ball. Good luck and lots of prayers going out to you.

Packing for this trip to Tennessee, along with the thoughts of seeing the surgeon and hoping he approves me just fine with all my paperwork, have me more nervous then when I had open-heart surgery. ;)

Hi, I just got back from GNC. I know this is really a matter of taste; but which flavors did you not care for? Thanks again for all your help.

Personally, I like Isopures grape, blue raspberry & pineapple orange bannana best. I tried one of each. The ones I didn't like I mixed with a little 100% juice or Gator Aid to down (you could also add Crystal Light) because I didn't want to waste them. I then went in and bought larger quantities of the ones I like. I don't know about all GNC's, but mine offers a card you can purchase then you get 20% the 1st week of each month. They are also selling the Isopure at buy 5 get 1 free (this is actually cheaper than a case of one kind).

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      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.
