I'm 10 days post op and my doctor has me on clear liquids for 3 weeks post op. So far the only protein drink I can find that meets the requirements my nutritionist has given me (less than 15g carbs, more than 11g protein) come from Isopure. And I LOATHE Isopure, every flavor. I'm worried that my complete lack of energy is coming from my lack of protein, but I just can't seem to make myself sip something so horrible. So I've just been focusing on keeping hydrated. But I think I'm sabotaging my own recovery. Does anyone have any alternatives to Isopure? Or should I be ok for another week and a half just staying on top of getting my liquid in? I'm starting to get really depressed about this whole situation. :-(

I used the protein shots from Walmart. Its about $10 for a six pack, but they're 2.9 ounces and easier to get down than regular protein. That's what I used a few weeks after surgery because I couldn't stomach the regular whey protein.

My doc allows Syntrax Nectar. Only the fruit flavored ones once I have the surgery for my 'clear liquids' week. I havent had one since I havent had the surgery but others have said they are good. I have also heard you can use unflavored and add crystal light to it but as I said before I havent had surgery yet. so good luck

Unjury chicken soup flavor was good. Like drinking broth. It's online order only at www.unjury.com They also have strawberry sorbet which counted as a clear, but I never tried it.

I use the Unjury chicken and unflavored. I am getting to hate the Isopure but trying to use it so my hubs doesn't get upset for paying so much for it.

I just got a sample of that. But I wasn't sure if I could use that yet til I talk to my doctor on Monday. I'm hoping that will work and taste better. :-) Thanks!!

Hmmm. I think I might look into that. Yeah I'm having the same problem with the whey protein. Are they in the diet food section?

I just ordered to unjury chicken broth right now. I hope it gets here quick lol! That sounds lots better. I ended up taking the Isopure back to Vitamin Shoppe and they were cool about it and refunded me for every bottle as long as it was unopened.

_{here are two sites you can check out. I have tried several of there drinks and like them. https://www.dietdirect.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/114403/ https://www.bariatricchoice.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/113961/.}

I couldn't stomach the Isopure either. I'm 3 days out and I have to stay I haven't found one decent flavor. They are beyond gross. They're going back to GNC
