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)

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
