Someone just told me that their husband (who had a bypass 10 years ago) really liked the Isopure drinks at GNC. I looked at them online, and they are pricey, but it seems like there are good flavors and they are clear, almost like colored Water. I want to try some, but I am a little gun shy after having bought a bunch of powders that are awful tasting. So I thought I'd check in with my sleeve buddies and see if anyone had gotten them, and how they taste. Oh, it's day 4 of my liquid pre-op diet, and I am down an unbelievable 11 pounds. I'm shocked by that. Is this normal?

We have a place here in town that has Protein shakes-they let you taste test. So I am hitting there this weekend

Nell, where is that? Maybe we have one of those stores here... I'd love to try others... thanks! And let us know what your experience is!

I don't think I am going to try them. I found Syntax Nectar and really liked some of them. They are a thinner texture and I actually think they taste pretty good. My dietician let me try some samples today at my pre-op appt and they were yummy.

Oooh I like Syntrax Nectars too. The Roadside Lemonade is yummy. The other day I mixed some crystal light peach-tea with it and that was good as well, for something different. I have samples of the pink grapefruit and cherry on the way.

I think I like them because they aren't as thick as most of them, and they don't have that awful aftertaste. I got samples of strawberry Mousse, Caribbean something, fuzzy navel, and vanilla bean today. But their chocolate truffle is absolutely delicious as far as I'm concerned! Have you tried that one? YUM!

If dirty butt crack had a flavor and a name, that would be Isopure.. I hate that I bought it, but I will not waste my money. I'm going to try mixing it with Crystal Light as someone here has suggested. Maybe that would help me to at least get it down.

I never realized how palatable the thick shakes were until I had to deal with isopure and nectars. God awful the whole lot of clear Proteins, but there's a special place in hell for isopure!

I have not tried the chocolate truffle yet but I think it's in my sample pack. I'm glad that I like them though because it's so much more flavor variety!

It's Doc's Nutrition Depot. I just went tonight. I bought ProtiZyme. I got to try a couple of samples. banana and Peanut Butter Cookie-very good. I ended up buying Vanilla Cake-it's got a hint of lemon to it. SO GOOD! It's made especially for bariatric patients and it's super fine. Mixed easily in my shaker. No funny after taste.
