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 :)

Ewww i got the apple flavor and i mixed with Water that was the only way i was able to drink most of it! I know I have been wanting to find a clear Protein drink as well with out gagging all the ones with more then 25 grams are really strong but my friend said the special k one was good it only has like 15 grams i think but hey better then nothing ya know .

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.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
