Have any of you tried the Isopure/Isopro?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

Just wondering if any of you have tried this type of Protein Drink? They say I could have it on my first week of post???

What does it taste like? Where could I buy it?

I'm just afraid once I"m on the 1st week of clear fluids, I may not be getting enough Protein in????

What kind of Multi Vitamins could I buy? Where could I find liquid adult tylenol???

Lots of the many questions to come.....LOL.

Good day.

:)

Thank you.

Doriana

Isopure is difficult to find in Canada and it is no better than the other type of Protein drinks/powders that are out there (and it is more expensive, I believe).

I used (& still do) Flinstones chewables.....and they're yummy!

There is no such thing as "adult" liquid tylenol (that I could find) but I used children's liquid tylenol and merely asked the pharmacist how much I should take; cause you need to take a whole lot more than is on the directions!! I went through 2-3 bottles of it...it is grapey and REALLY yummy. I also recommend you get some liquid gravol...that really helped me (also cause I was fearful to get nauseous due to fear of vomiting and dislodging my band!!).

*note to La Madam* This is the Canadian area of LBT, and we don't have liquid tylenol here.

And yeah, everything Yoda said. I take Jamieson Vita-Vim chewable Multivitamins (get mine from Walmart, but I've seen them all over).

There are also 'junior' strength chewable tylenol's that I bought quite alot of. They're something like 160mg each, so it takes about 3 to equal 1 extra strength tylenol.. they're yummy too.

I ordered some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder from www.unjury.com. You can order some samples to try it out first. I tried the chocolate, and it was actually good. The good thing is that they have an 'unflavoured' one, so you can do whatever you want with it.

hmmmmm, that is why I specifically mentioned "Canada" in my post....so that the "general public" folks wouldn't wander in by mistake and start saying stuff that I KNOW isn't avail in CANADA...let alone stores like SAVON drugs.....

Oh well.....I guess they mean well....but it does get frustrating sometimes....

Hi Doriana

I actually got the isopro in GNC in Toronto. I did not like it at all. I mixed it with apple juice and I struggled to drink it. It cost $55.00 for this huge container and I used maybe 4 servings. I drank Powerade and Propel and I found they helped me so I did get all goofy from not eatting. I won't kid you I was hungry.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
