Bit the bullet, tried Isopure Zero Carb

[TexasMiss 314]

So I bought some Isopure about 2 months ago in preparation of my surgery, and it has just been sitting there. Every time I opened the fridge it laughed at me, "Haha you wasted a lot of money on us!" So now that I am 8 days postop I decided to bite the bullet and try it. First out of the fridge was the pineapple Orange banana. From my readings on here, there is a very clear line when it comes to Isopure Zero...you love it, or you hate it. So here it goes. My mom laughed as I crinkled my face in anticipation of my first sip. I was expecting this horrible cough Syrup tasting concoction, but wait, it wasn't that bad. I went in for a second sip and yeah, I can do this. I can see where some people say it leaves a dryness in your mouth, but maybe that isn't so bad and it will help me sip more. I mixed it half and half with Orange G2 Gatorade and it really helped cut that dryness. I haven't tried the other flavors, so we will see how those work out.

On a side note, I keep losing track on how much fluids I'm getting in. I tried just remembering and that doesn't work. Then I tried writing it down and couldn't remember where I wrote it lol. So my uber genius and completely stupid solution was two paper cups, 8 pinto Beans, and a 1 cup measuring cup. Each time I measure out my cup, I move a bean over. I know...it's stupid, and I can't believe I just admitted it!

Hey as long as it works for you. I got myself a 24oz Tervis cup and I know I have to refill it at least twice a day. That's how I track my fluids

I ended up buying two 16oz Tervis tumblers to help me keep track of my liquids. I keep one at home and the other at work. As long as I drink at least 4 of them a day, I know I've got my liquids in.

Knowing me, I'd forget which cup was the one that indicated the cups I'd drank, unless I wrote it on there

I have a16 oz doubled wall insulated tumbler..not sure what a Tervis cup is? My problem is I fill the whole thing up, ice melts and get watery after awhile and I won't drink whatever it is in my cup. So I will dump it and get fresh, so I lose track of how much I'm drinking. Only doing half the cup now and it's working much better. it's amazing how something as simple as drinking changes after this. I could suck down liquids with the best of them...not anymore! lol.

Tervis is a brand name for the double walled tumblers. They're a tad pricey but come with a warranty that makes it worth it. They take tons of abuse like a champ.

To help me keep track of my liquids I bought bottled Water. I'd take 4 bottles every morning and set them together I knew by looking at what was left how much I had drank.

4-16.9oz(0.5L) bottles = 67.6oz

Or if you use 1L bottles you only need 2 of them. I quickly got to the point that I was meeting my minimums by 2-3pm and was getting bonus hydration after that.

I use Isopure as well. It's not all that bad and I agree its a hate it or love it thing with all of these products.

Your Fluid tracking system is great! Do whatever works for you. I just might try it myself

I love isopure! After surgery my usual shakes are too heavy and I've been using it since. Expensive but my food budget is non existent so trade off lol
