Recommended Posts

Hey all Im finally getting sleeved on Tuesday 11/1 :) Im excited and very much freaked out too.. normal right?

Im curious to see if anyone on here has used RTD Isopure as soon as they get home... ? my post op diet is 1 wk clear fluids (isopure?) then 1 week full liquids if Im cleared at my 2 wk apt then I can start purees...

Im stocked on all the propel zeros, crystal lights, sf popcicles...

Thanks!

Yes I sure did! I liked the Orange and Purple flavors. However I did have to Water them down a lot because the flavor was a bit much for me post surgery.

All the best on your surgery day!!! :)

I was going to buy them on Amazon.com but the local GNC store here normally has them on sale for $1.00 each so its a way better deal to do that! I've been drinking Protein drinks for the last 6 months and Im TIRED of them, I just recently found these.. pretty tasty!

Yay for your first pureed meal!!! :) I cant wait to be excited for that!

How I wish Amazon would ship to me!! I am envious. :)

I loved having a bit of warm chicken broth- pick up a can to try too. After 10 days of fluids I was pretty sick of everything though.

Good luck on your upcoming surgery!

I have some and I couldn't get past the texture. I thought they felt really gritty in my mouth. I never tried the watering it down thing though, maybe that would be helpful.

Isopure was the only Protein I could tolerate right after surgery. Two bottles a day for the 2 weeks post-op liquid phase. After about 3 weeks I could drink Pure Protein.

I am 3 months out and still drink a bottle of Isopure a day. I get it at GNC. If you go the GNC route make sure and get their "Gold Card". It gives you a pretty big discount the first week of each month. Experiment with the different flavors, some are better than others and make sure that you get the zero carb ones. They have an Isopure smoothie too, but I found it was pretty high in calories. Good Luck.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
