Has anyone heard of or used Isopure? I'm talking about the liquid drink that comes in fruity flavors. If so, what do you think of it? And what is your favorite flavor? I picked up icy orange and am excited to try it!

I like the punch. I wish I had known about this at the beginning. So much better than all those powder Protein that I tried.

I tried the Isopure and it was yucky. I had to doctor it up(with crystal light drops) to choke it down. Still have the other 1/2 a bottle in the fridge glaring at me.

It had a really off taste, like a funky tang.

I hated it. Won't buy again.

I can't stand any of them!! I made the mistake of buying a case preop and then couldn't stand them postop. I wasted $55

As with any Protein drink I would try not to buy too much stuff preop. Your taste may change, like mine did.

Try the Premier Protein. Available at costco. It has 30 gms Protein in 11 ounces.. It is ready to drink. No mixing and it tastes the best.

I drink 8oz of the Isopure grape first thing in the morning to get my day started. I'm 7 months out. One bottle lasts 2 1/2 days and I just drink it while getting dressed for work and I get 15g of quick Protein for only 60 calories!

To me it has a dry aftertaste kind like drinking cranberry juice. Does that make sense? But the flavor isn't bad...it's just a matter of your taste buds!

Its gross and the aftertaste is pure whey, like it tastes the way milky baby vomit smells.

LOL I bought a case also and I new before I bought it what it tasted like. After surgery I opened 1 bottle mixed it with Water and crystal light and could not finish it. My husband likes them so I am giving them to him, he will be sleeved in June.

I bought two of the ready made bottles today..mango peach and blue raspberry. I have been able to gag down half of the mango peach one. The initial taste isn't awful but the aftertaste is bitter to me and so terrible. I'm really disappointed because I'm having a hard time getting all of my Protein in. I was hoping the Isopure would be tolerable as I can drink regular fluids just fine, at two weeks post-op, but thicker drinks are harder.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
