Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

So as a complete n00b I walked into my local GNC...first time since high school which was 20 years ago...and bought what I was told was a "very clean" Protein. I purchased 16 Isopure bottles with an assortment of flavors.

***These are the nastiest tasting drinks I have ever tasted.***

The aftertaste leaves you wishing death on the makers of Isopure. Sure, 40 grams of Protein and zero carbs sound good….but it sure doesn’t taste good.

Anyone know if you can take unopened product back to GNC?

yes, you should be able to return the unopened product to the store. Any chance you still have your receipt? They'd appreciate that. It's funny because I don't find them that disagreeable. only the apple melon and passion fruit. the others I find quite tolerable (at least pre-op). Sorry you had a bad experience. I do believe that Isopure puts out an unflavored powder that you can add to just about anything. Ask your GNC rep for a good alternative. :)

You might try diluting it with Water. I know, means more liquid! Or adding crystal light powder to the container. It makes it a bit more palatable.

I tried all the flavors and Grape Frost is the only one I can tolerate. I like it actually.

I have tried the grape frost, the banana pineapple & the apple melon & I liked all of them.

It's funny how subjective taste can be. I really haven't found a Protein drink or bar so objectionable that I couldn't finish it, but some are definitely much better than others. Muscle Milk being the prime disgusting example I can think of.

Nice thing about the Isopure Carb Free is you can mix it with Crystal Light and drink it over the course of the day. A nice break from the thicker chocolate and vanilla Proteins.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
