ISOPURE....wtf am I supposed to do with this?

Never figured that out myself - other than trashing it. UGH

I thought the same thing! Could never "stomach" the stuff.

I thought Isopure was terrible too. I haven't touched the stuff since my first week post op. The 2 bottles I had leftover I gave to a friend that was having the surgery.

I can tolerate the fruit punch in the 8 oz bottles.< /p>

I tried it and didn't like it. But at 40 grams of Protein per bottle I thought it might be a good alternative. It took me almost 2 hours to drink one bottle, it tasted that bad. I let my wife have a taste and she liked it. Others seem to praise it. So it is all a function of your taste buds.

Depends on your taste. I like the grape and my husband likes the coconut which I haven't tried.

Isopure was a godsend in the first few weeks after my surgery- I didn't find anything else other than "New Whey" Protein shots (which I found were dreadful from the first sip, but when I was drinking from a 1-ounce medicine cup, I could tolerate nearly anything) that had more bang for the buck as far as Protein content. However, I do agree with @@James Marusek- my tastes changed, and what was palatable at first became very metallic tasting. I see those bottles now and my stomach instinctively knots. I'm sorry you didn't have a better experience with them :(

I used Isopure powder for the first 6 months post op and loved it. If anyone is wanting to get rid of their supply, let me know and I will it buy it from you.

i bought the vanilla low carb one. i don't love it. But these days, i add 1 tbs of Peanut Butter, some ice, and almond milk and a pack of splenda just so i can finish the bag and move on. -_-

This stuff is nasty! Horrible! What do you guys mix it in?

Which one do you have? I buy the unflavored and add it to pretty much everything. I also like the ice tea.

That said, if you don't like it, try something else. There are a million different Protein powders/drinks/waters/etc..... on the market. The key to success is finding one you like.

I could tolerate it on over Ice, I was told to Water it down AND put it over ice.....It sounded like to much work and I only had to use it one day and then I went back to my regular Premier Protein shakes.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
