Isopure is great. it's a clear liquid 40g Protein. 0 carbs. I like all the flavors... kinda expensive but worth it. GNC and Vitamin shop

What to do??? I am 1 month post-op tomorrow and haven't been able to stomach Protein Shakes AT ALL. I am eating small amounts of food. Was in the ER for minor dehydration, a UTI and low Iron. Haven't felt good at all since surgery, along with hardly any energy. They did a bunch of tests and my Protein level was good...

Hoping the iron helps pick me up... Doing my best to get all my Water in, but vomit every time I try a Protein Shake. The doc said that once our stomach heals and we can eat normally, that we shouldn't have to rely on drinking the shakes for protein... Help??!

I also couldn't handle the Protein Drinks. I've told my surgeon I'm done even trying and just always try to eat Protein. My surgeon said he'd rather you get protein from food vs. shakes anyways. My protein is lower than what it should be each day, but I'm losing weight pretty steadily. I'm not too worried about it and my surgeon doesn't seem to be either.

I really like the Isopure that is ready to drink. It's expensiveat GNC, but cheaper if you order a case from Amazon. I'm still drinking 1/2 a bottle each day to boost 20 gramsof Protein to my daily total.

However, the Isopure powder I have tried is disgusting, in my opinion.

I read this thread earlier, and went to buy some Isopure to try. Can't say I cared much for it :( we tried the blue raspberry. I also got the alpine punch and apple melon. Maybe one of those will be better :) you can get singles to try at Vitamin Shoppe. They are $4.19 a piece. I like the banana creme muscle milk, poured over ice with just a splash of orange juice... To me, that tastes amazing!!!

Hiya!

I could not tolerate the Protein Shakes too well until I tried the nectar brand...it is VERY light & I have been able to tolerate it VERY well...just seem to be soooooooooooo hungry, so I have to drink it every couple of hours. I have tried the fuzzy navel (peach) and the lemon tea (tastes like Lipton's lemon tea to me). Just be careful with the lemon tea bc it does have caffeine in it and I did not realize when I purchased it and I did not sleep at all last night :angry:. So just a heads up! The Isopure is really good also, but it just seems to dry my mouth out lol...I get to begin blenderized foods in 10 days AND COUNTING lol

You may want to try it first before you buy a bunch. It has a very distinctive aftertaste that I found slightly unpleasant pre-op but utterly intolerable post-op. It's a great way to get your protein if you like it though.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
