Collagen Protein Isolate is not a "whole" form of protein. It lacks I believe 3 measures of the protein family (amino acids), which is lacking in tryptophan, isoleucine, threonine and methionine.

It says its whey protein I thought thats all I had to look for.....thank you for your help im still new to all this and learning

These Isopure Protein shots were recommended by my doctor and nutritionist -- especially in the first week for Clear liquids. I can't find on the website if it's whey protein isolate or concentrate -- I know the isolate is supposed to be a better form of protein.

I'm planning to have some during post-op but I've tasted one and BOY are they nasty! I think I'll have to mix it in with a ton of Water and just choke it down.

OK -- just saw it's a blend of whey protein isolate, collagen isolate and casein isolate. It doesn't say how much of each.

Regardless, these were recommended by the name brand by my doc and NUT so I will be using them .

Some people can't take anything else, lots of proteins make them sick. If this is all you can stand then go for it, something is better than nothing. It's probably a good idea to search for whole proteins however in the mean time.

Have you tried Isopure? Watered down it is high in all protein families and tho it is a bit chalky it doesn't taste too bad.

Yeah im going to talk to my doctor/nut and see what they say I start regular food on Thursday and I would love to be able to get all my protein in with food but i dont see that happening for a while and I nees to get mt protein in im so tired all the time. And if this protein shot isnt good then ill just have to suck it up and drink the ones I have!!!!! Thank you everyone for your input I love this website its so amazing and so helpful ♥

I like the Isopure Grape Frost. I found some of the other flavors not so good, but I like this one. 40 grams of protein in one bottle.

I used these early on often. 1 thing I found though is you DO NOT want to drink them all in 1 sitting. Space it out over time. If I drank it all in 1 sitting they gave me the shitz.

And here I was thinking it was the 2 stool softeners I took this morning lol

Is the isopure something similar buy with better nutrition value?

It is recommended by my surgeon. You find it at the Vitamin Shoppe. It is clear drink.

I get my Isopure from GNC. They are clear and in glass RTD. Yes they are a better form of protein. I have to water them down because the flavor is very over powering and ever since my sleeve surgery which is going on 4 years ago now my taste buds can't take so much flavoring in drinks.

these 'shots' were also recommended to me by my dietician for the first 3 days immediately post op, simply to get some Protein in when it will be a hard struggle to get ANYTHING in!

i went to wal-mart and got two Acai berry flavor and one Watermelon flavor. i am going to fun to the wal-mart in my parent's town and they have the green apple flavor and fruit punch flavor there.

i was told 1.5 of these each day for 3 days...

My NUT said whey protein isolate is what to look for because it's a pure, highly absorbable, and fast absorbable form of protein. She said whey protein concentrate or blends are often up to 30% less absorbed protein than what's listed. Even if you only got 70% of the protein listed from those shots-that's still a lot of protein for small amount of fluid, but just keep in mind when adding up your protein totals for the day that you may not be getting all the protein listed for those shots.
