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



Recommended Posts

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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
