Most people hate Isopure and call it Isopuke.

Omg Isopure is so disgusting. I can't even choke it down. I bought a container of the vanilla and today I went out and bought stuff to add to it cuz its just that bad. Body fortress is pretty good. I got the chocolate Peanut Butter. You can get it at Walmart and is way cheaper than isopure

I like the grape and alpine punch quite a bit, but who knows if I will after sx.

They are talking about the powder. The clear stuff is very drinkable. It's sort of like Gatorade. It does have an aftertaste at first, but mild and you get used to it. It's worth it. i haven't met many on here that manage to get in all their Protein during the first couple weeks. I did and I think it made a huge difference. Also the are 24 oz each right. That's almost all your Fluid intake too.

Towards the end of the second week you will be sick to death of them, but as the guy at the GNC store said: "You gotta do what you gotta do."

The Alpine punch and grape are the only two flavors I like. I've tried the rest and barely finished the bottles.< /p>

I buy the neon blue drink... It is a life saver, but to be honest I ice mine down and put a little bit of Water. I bottle usually last me about 2 days. Hope this helps

Try mixing it with crystal light, or one of those Vitamin waters. They taste way better if they are not straight out of the bottle.

Ooh! I never thought of that! Crystal light seems to save the day a lot lately! :)

I can't use the powders (no matter what they are mixed with) post-op. The milky RTD drinks also make me physically ill. The Isopure Zero Carb is the only non food Protein source that my sleeve tolerates. Is it yummy? Hell to the no! Does it help me get closer to my healthy me goal? YES! Clean protein + zero carbs + liquid EQUALS success!

I gagged when I tried to drink the Isopure Clears after surgery. I bought a case that was 50.00 and drank 1. The rest are sitting in the cabinet! :(

      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.

      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! 🤣
