Hello,

Isopure when you buy is it tjust sold in packets and you have to make it or does it come in bottles? Where is the best place to get it as I called GNC locally and they sell only by the case for like 36.00 no flavors and will not sell individual bottles.

If you are in Chattanooga do you know where I can get them locally? So I have it ready for my surgery.

Hello All,

dI ecided to be creative and I put the vanilla glucerna in the blender with ice and added sugar free banana creme powder to it and boi does it taste good:Banane23: :wow2: What other kind of flavers can I add to it?

I tried the butter pecan and don't like it very much trying ot think how I can doctor that one up too? Also the chocolate ? It does not say I can add any fruit such as strawberries or bananas? Would that be considered cheating ? If put them in the blender as I am new so want to make sure that won't defeat the purpose or is sugar free pudding a better idea.

Thanks Larry I know I have posted alot over the last few days but it is helping me to get through :)

I've been able to buy Isopure from local GNC stores in the individual bottles. It comes in several flavors. I'm not that crazy about any of them, but the Apple Melon is drinkable and is even better if I cut it about 1/3 with white grape juice.

I also believe that Isopure makes several powder Protein drinks that come in the larger containers. It was quite pricey and I decided on a different brand that suited my needs at a somewhat lower price.

If your surgeon is suggesting you to use the Isopure liquid, I would call their office and ask them where you could by it by the individual bottle. All band doc's are different, but mine only suggested I use it for about 3 days, so a case would be waaaaaaay more than I would want to buy.

I'm not in your state (but hey, my mom was born in Tennessee! is that where you are?) but, I hope this helps a little bit.

Terry :D

I get all my supplements/shakes/drinks at www.nutricraze.com

They're quick, the prices are competitive and the shipping is reasonable!

Try bariatriceating.com they sell samples. nectar- fuzzy navel is good, they have several brands. You will find people either LOVE or LOATHE their supplements. Personally I do not like Isopure. There are several on the market I do like but it is one of those things you have to do a trial on. My suggestion to you is not to buy too much of any one product.

post op your mind and stomach do not agree. What tasted good to me pre-op doesnt sound or taste too good now that Im post op. One of the most important things post op is to NOT VOMIT. That takes some work if your trying to force yourself to drink Protein that is yucky. Get some samples for post op if you can tolerate them you can always get more.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
