Isopure protein drink



Recommended Posts

Has anyone used the ready made clear version for post op Clear Liquids? ? I am starting to play around with flavors of these..I would think it would be ok..40 grams of Protein in one bottle plus you get 20 liquid.. lol just wanted to know :) ..still waiting for insurance approval..

My doctor required Isopure for the first four days after my surgery. I'm not a big fan, but I did follow my dr's orders then stopped drinking it after the four days, moving on to other Protein Drinks like Premier. My husband had the same requirement, but continues to drink Isopure now (he's five months out) because he likes it and likes the 40 grams of Protein. He likes the green and black Ice Tea flavors. :)

Isopure Alpine punch is the only Protein I can tolerate now... I did Premier Protein shakes for pre and post op, and now am totally SICK of all of those sickeningly sweet shakes... I do Isopure over ice with a wedge of lime in my glass... sometimes when I am feeling froggy, I chill it in a martini shaker and serve it in a martini glass!

I tried the grape Isopure today and didn't like it. It has a funny after taste to me.

I use it daily... ALpine Punch and Grape are my go to flavors... I usually mix it with 2 parts Water to 1 part Isopure and take all day to drink it....that way Im guaranteed to get at least 40 ounces of Water plus 40 ounces of Protein with little effort...

it does have a "whey" aftertaste but by diluting it, I hardly notice it... there are days I drink it straight

I like the Alpine Punch and I can tolerate the Grape Frost. I thought I would like the Apple Melon but it's just too much for me. It tastes better when it's ICE COLD. I fill a cup with ice and pour Isopure over it and sip until I can fit more in there and just keep pouring. The days when I can get down the whole bottle (there for 40grams of protein) I lose better. I'm about to start stocking up on the stuff.

I have also mixed a little bit of crystal light Appletini to kick at the taste a little bit. it does have an odd aftertaste but the Alpine is tolerable.

      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.
