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.

I couldnt drink it this morning... has a weird aftertaste

How far out are you?

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)
