I've tried them & actually went to buy some more today. However, I don't really "like" them, but can tolerate them. They taste good going down, but have a horrible aftertaste! You can add some Crystal Light or Mio flavoring to cut down on the aftertaste some, but it's still strong - at least to me. Some flavors are more tolerable than others. I didn't buy much, but I wanted something different since I still have 9 more days on Clear Liquids.< /p>

The grape frost is ok and the Orange Ice...they are fruity but Protein makes the liquid a little thick - like thinned out Jello Water. I added lots of ice and sipped it throughout the day. It counts as liquids too. As the ice melts it thins it even more, some people added a little extra flavor to theirs like a few drops of MIO. It's a great protein source if you don't like or can't have the Protein Shakes.< /p>

I have tried a few of them. After surgery my surgeon puts us on a 10-14 day clear liquid diet and in the hospital we will be given Isopure too. It's like $5.50 a glass bottle, which is suppose to be one serving but at first we won't be drinking all that much. I was actually surprised it didn't have that many Vitamins in it, but of course after surgery they suggest the multi-vitamins. I purchased the optisource chewables and they were like $28.00 from Walgreens - which is only a month supply but the register spit out a $4.00 off next purchase coupon, which will come in handy.

The Green Tea with lemon reminds me of wheat grass, which isn't too bad. The Orange I am not that fond of, but I am going to purchase MIO Orange flavored and that will help it. I tried the Grape, which most people seem to deal okay with and I think if I can find a MIO that will go with it, I will try that.

It doesn't taste that great, but for the clear phase, after surgery, nothing is going to taste all that great anyhow.

My suggestion is to ask your surgeon if they have any small plastic sample bottles and figure out which one you like. It's such a small amount of time you have to be on the clear phase, that I'm sure there will be ways to mask it. I know one thing, I will be looking forward to my Pure Protein 100% whey Protein Frosty Chocolates after the clear liquid phase.

I heard to supplement the clear liquid phase that the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken broth was good, and I have a sample I am going to try this weekend before I start my 3 shake pre-op.

Thank you both! I have a hard time getting all my Protein in. I'm on full liquids right now .

Perhaps buy unflavored 100% whey Protein and add it to your liquids. It's not 100% unflavored, there's still a taste to it - but it's not like a vanilla or a chocolate flavored.

I'm planning on purchasing it and when I go to mushy or pureed phase, add it to cream of wheat, add it instant mashed potatoes, or even add a little extra to my Protein shakes.

I am extremely vain, and with Lupus my hair is a bit fine, and I'm terrified of not getting enough protein, so I'm trying to plan ahead. I have purchased the Biotin and as soon as I get the green light to take I will start taking so I don't hit the 3 month Hair loss situation other's have talked about.

Also referred to as Isopuke. It's terrible. I cannot tolerate it. It's the aftertaste which is like vomit. Save your money.

I bought some to try before my surgery. I like the blue one. The trick is to get them really cold! My kids tasted them and said they taste like powerade! I definitely like them better than those nasty Protein shots! Lol

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
