Okay I'm reading great things about this stuff. I like that I hear its more of a watery base than creamy like a shake. Ill start off by saying I haven't had a single shake that didn't come back up within an hour, pre op or post op, so I think these would be great for me... BUT they are SO expensive!!!!!! Are there any websites that sell them wholesale or cheaper or something?!? I'd love to try them but man I can't afford that!

BARFOLA!

Don- I thought you could have 30 grams of Protein an hr?

Amen! I bought a whole case from GNC.com cuz my nurse said they tated like Jolly Ranchers. Not sure where she gets her Jolly Ranchers but they don't. managed to swallow maybe 1/3 of a bottle before chucking it. Gave the rest to my brother in law, while weight training. That was before I knew about gnc.com's taste guarantee. If you don't like something, they'll take it back and give you 100% of your money back.

I wouldn't buy a whole case either. You might want to go to your local gnc and see if they have a bottle you can try. It must be an acquired tasted. I sure never acquired it...

Please buy individual bottles first to sample. I could have managed the flavor (which IS weird) but they made me break out and my fingernails broke and split. My hubby had to finish them......

Isopure is the only Protein drink I'll drink.

The key is to always try before you buy with this stuff.

People rave about Quest bars and to me they taste like a chewy blob of dookie.

I have no way of buying an individual bottle so I will just pass on them. Ill rely on my unflavored Protein because the nectar shakes are revolting.

Per nectar comment, have you tried the sweet line? They have double cookie, chocolate truffle, vanilla bean and more. I think you might like them. I did not not like the fruity flavors much, especially the fuzzy navel.

Yes I have tried chocolate cookie vanilla bean torte Cappuccino lemonade wild cherry fuzzy navel Caribbean cooler and chocolate truffle. They all had a very sickening medicine taste to them (I'm assuming the protein) and no matter what I made them with, milk Water or almond milk, I could keep them down for more than a half hour.

I am sorry to hear that. Truly I am. I hope you find something you can keep down. You might try muscle milk lite. There are a ton of flavors and I am hooked on birthday cake flavor. Love it! One thing you want to be aware of is the carb count per serving. Try and aim for 3 g carb or less. Another good Protein shake I have tried recently is Synth 6. Actually, it is my preferred recovery shake because it is a super all around protein matrix. And it tastes really good. I do NOT like the Isopure RTD bottles. I will drink one if I have to, but the tastes is a turn off for me.

I'm with you, Shelby! I bought a ton of Protein powders pre-op, most being nectar....I can't stomach them post op!

Have you ever seen one of the older garbage trucks driving down the road during a late summer record breaking heat wave, and there is this awful smelling and looking liquid trailing from the truck..... that is the ISOPURE fountain... stuff tastes foul and is slimy.

I got a 3 pound tub of powder online with vitamin world for $44 which I thought was a good deal. Sounds like you may just be intersted in the pre made bottles I refuse to by those, I just mix mine (unflavored) with G2 or powerade zero. Of course Im still pre op so my taste for it may change....but so far so good

Muscle milk was very good pre op just haven't tried it post op yet. That for me is a good pick because its readily available at almost all of our gas stations here in town. And hy-vee has sales every once in a while so I can bulk up. I'm worried about trying dairy post op though. Has anyone had any adverse reactions to a milk based Protein Shake? I have some Special K strawberry flavor protein shake I may try tonight just to see if I can keep down the dairy. Before I buy a lot of muscle milk anyway. Thanks for all your help!!!

So I've looked online all day and can not find a single place that sells less than 6 pack cases of isopure!!!! I would really just like to try one bottle!!!

Is there a Vitaminshoppe near you they sell bottles for $4.19 each...I bought fruit punch and grape frost the other day. Punch was ok I kept trying to sip it. Have not opened the other one yet

No we have only GNC and Walgreens and neither carry them but that's ok I think I would rather mix my own unflavored with juices or shakes. A previous post said they mixed with g2? Did that taste ok? I'm a huge water/flavored water/Gatorade/powerade lover so that would be ideal!!

This loooooong website has packs of Isopure for 39 dollars (12 bottles)! I like the icy orange (kind of taste like a dream bar Popsicle to me) and the coconut (piña colada)! I take these on the beach with me. It's perfect because 40g of Protein and not milk based so they can be out in the hot sun! Hope that helps! If the website doesn't work let me know I can repost it!

I like the mixed berry with the isopure and if you want more flavoring you can get the sugar free bottles of snow cone mix and add a few drops...
