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.

      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.
