Hi Everyone!

I am having my sleeve surgery on Januray 3rd and my nutritionist told me that for the first 10 days after surgery to drink one Isopure Protein drink a day. She also said that the taste isn't too pleasant, but I will put on my big girl pants (no pun intended) and tough it out....

My question is....What flavor is the least gross??? Do you have any other suggestions for a clear Protein Drink??

Hi - I tried the blue raspberry and it wasnt too bad. Good luck!

I have the alpine island. The small 8 oz bottle has 15 gr of protein. I tried the Grape Frost bottle which was 40 gr but that was way to sweet and left such an aftertaste. I even tried watering it down and still not good.

Contratulations SIMI on your upcoming surgery.

I like the Apple Melon Isopure 40grm- think close to a green jolly rancher. Got it at GNC but hard to find as I was told at several locations that this is the first flavor to sell out. . Drink cold because at room tempature it is not as appealing IMO. I still drink these a couple times a week to ensure 60 grm of Protein a day when I am running around unable to preplan my meals. Try sipping half in morning and half in afternoon. Use G2 gatorade in between to get ride of funky aftertaste. Good luck!

Syntrex nectar has some clear Protein. Go to the food section and look for a thread called something like places to order samples. You can get samples of all the flavors that will get you through the post op liquid phase. Also ungury has a chicken Soup that is a clear protein. You can get samples of that too.

I used GNC unflavored Protein powder and put it in anything sugar free I could find. I would say it isn't flavorless, but the taste didn't really bother me if I put it in something strong tasting like crystal lite lemonaide.

Well good luck and you can do it!!! I was on isopure exclusively until soft/puree stage. I did the chocolate. I bought it online from vitamin shoppe. it was a little cheaper than gnc. i would mix it with a little milk, instant coffee and a sprinkle of splenda. YUM!! put it in the blender and super yum. add some ice and Milkshake. with the isopure it is 50grams of protein per shake so i only needed 2 per day. well good luck and you can do it.

I liked the cytomax brand better than the isopure brand. The tangerine flavor reminded me of tang. It wasn't too bad. I also like the cherry twist Syntrax powder mixed with 20 oz of Water. it is 24 grams of protein.

The blue raspberry and the grape are the best as far as isopure. You don't have to buy the large 40 gm protein bottles. They do sell the smaller 20's but go to their website to find out what stores are closest to you. There is an aftertaste but it's not too bad. I can't say enough about Unjury unflavored. Can mix it with just about anything. Good Luck to you!!!

I bought a case of the grape pre-op and post-op so far have only had 1 bottle...I am drinking coconut water(which has NO protein) and water and Crystal light and my shakes, seriously the Isopure and I don't get along but I love grape Koolaid! LOL

My sleeve is being done tomorrow and I just found the alpine punch by isopure yesterday. I wish I would have found it weeks ago. It doesnt taste bad at all. It tastes a little like watered down kool aid.

Yep I tried the Blue Raspberry Isopure today- it was VERY sweet- and made me think of something they make you drink for like a glucose tolerance test or something that you have to try to chug down some way- I couldn't handle even the sip or two I took- gag-

I dunno what brand that is but I'm partial to canned Ensure chocolate flavor. It's good stuff and has everything you need.

O - I don't know about Ensure- my doctor said NOT to take that and everything I read said its a no-no. So I am not sure- have to do more study on that one.

Doing a alpine punch today. Grape is my favorite but I find that if you pour it over ice and leave it to dilute alitte they are all better. They taste very sweet to me.

pat

Why would multi-vitamin and mineral supplement drink like Ensure be a no-no ? Haagendaz Green Tea which I also eat would be a no no I understand. Unless you're still in phase I liquid only diet, in which case I don't know why they want you to get protein supplement becuz its too early to worry about that.

I am a huge fan of the Isopure drinks. I've had the Fruit Punch and the Alpine Punch so far, and i'm going to get more tomorrow. I take a hot/cold thermos, fill it up about half way with sonic ice (or crushed ice), then half of a 20 oz bottle of Isopure, and just work on it for however long it takes to get it down. The thermos keeps it from getting warm, which is VITAL. I do it twice a day, and there's 40 grams of Protein right there. It's so much easier than sweet creamy powdery shakes, and I've gotten used to the taste.

I get dry mouth a little, but I just keep a small bottle of Water with me and sip on that as needed.
