Now I'm worried...I bought some grape frost and alpine punch (just an 8 pk of each) for later on. Hopefully, I can choke it down :)

Agreed. I couldn't even finish one bottle. Disgusting.

I had planned on using Isopure clear RTD for the first week after surgery but had a very strange reaction: I got very flushed soon after drinking it and within 12 hours my fingernails (I have thin "eggshell" nails) began peeling. After the first bottle, I didn't make the connection but after the third I stopped drinking it and the symptoms went away. My hubby had to finish the rest of the bottles I had purchased (took him a month...)

I personally love it. I like the mango peach.

It's the WORST ever. I tried a few pre-surgery. gag. I bout a CASE of the coconut as it wasn't as bed as the others but I am 5 days out and haven't even gotten through ONE bottle, and I mix it with (real) coconut Water, regular Water and some white grape juice.

I know I am not getting enough Protein (about 20g/day) should I be worrying? I know it will be WAY easier once I am on full liquids (10 more days).

Im on pre op liquids... surgery is in 8 days

Your taste buds will be completely different after surgery. I will eat things now that you could have never convinced me to in the past.

Lots of people like Isopure, but I didn't. My fav Protein drinks were GNC Gold Standard whey in vanilla, which I drank plain or mixed with Starbucks Via Decaf Italian Roast, or powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken. Not nuts about the chicken, but it sat well and was a nice break from sweet drinks. I didn't like the Unjury Plain. I could taste it in everything I tried it with.

I tried the orange pineapple banana and the grape. The first sip was OK, then yuck..... horrible. I've got 10 more assorted bottles. I guess post op I'll convince myself it's medicine to help heal my sleeve. :rolleyes:

I found a way to make it tolerable. Mix it half and half with Water. Then it's not half bad (or only half good)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
