Nature's Best® Isopure Zero Carb Rtd Fruit Flavors



Recommended Posts

I'm not posting this in the Protein subforum because it's likely a short-time thing and I think it may benefit people out there.

I finally stopped by a GNC yesterday to try one of these drinks. Normally $5+ per bottle, "apple melon," "grape frost," and one other flavor that I can't remember were marked down to $1.34 each. I asked if it was a nation-wide markdown or just for my local store and was told, "Probably nationwide." This is a significant savings and I know a lot of people here rely on these drinks, so it might be worth a call to your local GNC. I stopped by a 2nd store thinking I'd stock up more and they only had the "apple melon" but it too was marked down. So it's at least more than one store (though they could have the same owner).

I tried a grape frost lastnight and thought it was pretty good. The thickness of Protein Drinks has been making them very hard for me to drink, my sleeve doesn't like thick things at all. This goes down nicely. And Walmart carries a generic Mio that comes in plain grape. Together, I'm actually digging Protein Drinks again. Haven't tried the apple one, and I didn't buy any of the third flavor that was marked down because it didn't sound like something I'd like.

I tried some before surgery & didn't like the aftertaste, but for that price maybe I could deal with the aftertaste! That is a great price if it's nationwide.

Last night I looked online and the best price I could find still averaged out to $2.90/bottle (with a coupon) or $3.32 standard. So that price is definitely great.

I didn't think I'd like them, but I'm kinda digging the grape. It's a bit weird, but with that Walmart Mio stuff, it's good. I did put it in the freezer for a bit to get it as cold as possible. I don't think I'd like it neary as much if it warmed. It just had "that" taste to it.

Best is that so far I can drink it almost like Water & drink several mouthfuls at a time. Regular RTDs or home mixed usually take me over an hour.

My GNC is just across the street from my house so of course I ran straight over lol but it was a no-go here :( I'm in southern West Virginia. Thanks for the heads up anyway!

I will be stopping at GNC on my way home from work. Grape is the only flavor I can tolerate but I think I will take your idea and add some Grape Mio to it. Hopefully this deal is going on here! Thanks for the tip!

I drank those for 2 weeks following surgery. I swear by them. Maybe I will pick up some more for those days when I don't feel like eating much.

Vitamin store has then on sale here in Ohio as well. I only drink then after putting mio in them. Then they taste great.

      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! 😞

      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.
