I just ordered the punch flavor. I have not yet tasted them but I purchased with the mind set of making popsicles and adding it to jello...I hope it works out ????

This may seem like a really dumb question but has anyone tried using any of the "non flavored" Protein powders with Powerade zero, crystal light or anything like that?

I just started drinking the Is oPure drinks. I found it heavy by itself so I dilute it.

I found them to be very chalky and bitter, I think I will try adding sweetener to them. It could be because I was only a couple of days post op. I bought 12 of the grape frost and 12 of the punch, have yet to try the punch. I am only 5 days post op and can only stomach about two ounces at a time. I will not buy anymore I dont care for the flavor very much, but everyone is different.

I have made shakes several different ways in the past. I would use the unflavored mix with almond milk, banana, strawberries and fruit juice. It always turned out great, but be sure and add plenty of ice.

I really like the small bottles in the Four pack from Amazon. I mix a bottle with Water 50/50 everyday and I get my fluids and 15g of Protein just by sipping all day. I like the alpine punch.

Icy Orange is good. Sometimes I add a packet of sugar free Water flavor to enhance it. The kool aid sugar free packets.

I can drink the Isopure grape and alpine punch but only if they are super cold....if I have 5 ice cubes in the glass it works well for me. I am pre-surgery but I have been replacing one snack a day with about 8oz of Isopure.

I also found a variety of non flavoured Protein powders at whole foods so I will try some of those to see which ones I can tolerate.

I learned I do not like unjury unflavoured. I love their chocolate...but the unflavoured had a smell that I couldnt get past......

I tried GENE PRO unflavoured powder and it worked well b/c I didnt taste a thing. They sent me a sample of 2 packs for just a few dollars.

I used them when I was on my pure liquid diet. I actually liked them... some flavors more than others. I just bought the Black Tea flavored one. It's not bad, if you like your tea on the lemony side. I may just mix it with some regular tea to temper the lemon. (I like black tea).

So today I got the alpine punch and is ok so far I see what everyone means about the after taste but so far is better than the Protein shakes!!

I have tried Grape, and Iced Tea Lemon. Both need to be diluted, or mixed with something. It is a great source of Protein, and fluids. :)

I just picked up a bottle of passion fruit and a bottle of coconut. I got about 1/8th ... I lie, 1/10th of the way into passion fruit (if that) till I couldn't drink anymore. Capped it and since it's high in Protein and clear, and seems perfect for when I'm post op, I will give it another good ol' college try again tomorrow. I'm hoping coconut will taste better.

Side note: I also picked up a canister of Unflavored Isopure and tried that with Water. It's got that same taste that I'm picking up from the passion fruit drink that I do not like (a bit "plasticy"), but I'm going to try and make the best of it since I can't take it back. Maybe I'll add some orange extract or vanilla extract to give it a diff flavor w/o adding sugar...

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
