Any suggestions on getting this down? I'm in the hospital and they brought me a few ounces of the alpine punch flavor. I've got it chilling over ice, but everytime I take a sip I gag. I'm pretending its medicine that my body needs. Can I mix it with anything to make it taste better? BTW this isn't the Protein shakes, but the light colored stuff in the tall glass bottle.

Sadly, the alpine punch is the best one!!

I just sipped and sipped and tried not to think about it! It is VERY DRY huh?? Pretty soon you will not have to drink that stuff anymore. I was so glad when I didn't have to!

Get better soon!! Hugs,

Kelly :)

I got a couple samples of the Isopure alpine punch and grape once I was released from the hospital. I am a fruit punch kinda girl so I was hoping it would be good but it does taste like medicine and is horrible beyond words. I had purchased this stuff called MiO, it is liquid Water enhancers with no calories and no sugar. It is also tropical fruit, it helps but it is not yet made it good. Hope this helps and hope your recovery goes well. :rolleyes::rolleyes: I am loving my sleeve!

Being lazy and not retyping...

Cathy - ask your surgeon if clear liquid Protein is OK. "New Whey" makes a Protein bullet drink that is clear' date=' IIRC. I don't know how it tastes. My parents (have both had WLS) add them to Crystal Light to thin them out - they are pretty thick. There is also a protein Water that Kellog makes, which I believe is clear.

I tried a couple of the Isopure drinks, grape & something red, both were disgusting!! The sucked all the moisture out of my mouth and had a horrible aftertaste. I have no desire to try any of the other flavors from them.

      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.

      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!
