so i went to support last night and was telling my fellow bariatric surgery people how i'm on the three week pre-op diet. i was talking about how sometimes i have to choke down a shake because i can't finish it. someone suggested drinking Isopure instead of a Protein Shake because it's "like gatorade". would this replace a meal? i don't know much about isopure so i'm curious to try it. i am going to email my NUT about it too. just curious! thanks!

My nurse told me they tasted like Jolly Ranchers. So I invested over $50 in a case of them from GNC.com. They taste nasty. Worst thing I've ever put in my mouth. Hubby likened them to bad meat juice.

Just buy 1 and taste it to see if u like it. You can get them at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe. They're expensive.

I have the Isopure unflavored powder 30 grams of Protein that I mix with G2, put in applesauce and yogurt oatmeal anything im allowed to eat, I have vanilla that i mix with skim milk I will add a banana or a sugar free choc pudding. I like the powders much better and not near as costly.

I mixed them 50/50 with water, G2, or Hint essence water. Just on their own they are too hideous. Obviously you won't get quite the Protein bang for your buck if you dilute them, but I figured it's better than no protein at all.

I bought one bottle to try, took once sip and dumped it out. But some people say they are good. So for sure buy just one to try first. Maybe it's an acquired taste, lol!

i just tried the apple melon one and i didn't think it was that bad. i'll try the blue raspberry tomorrow. they're definitely pricey, but i didn't mind the one i had. so, that's good. it's nice to not have that creamy/milky consistency of the Protein Shake. i was getting sick of it!

yeah the after taste was sort of gross but it was the typical Protein aftertaste that I feel all the products have.

I liked Isopure and they where my lifesaver the first month as I couldn't stomach the Protein Shakes.< /p>

      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? 🤷‍♀️
