OMG how in the hell do people drink this?!?

@@Sajijoma I've never tried them but I'm going to take your expert opinion and steer clear of these. My current fave drink is the Protein2o Water. I love the mild taste but sometimes I'll enhance it with flavored liquid Stevia. You just can't beat 15g of Protein, 70 calories and 2g carbs in a 16 oz. bottle! Not only that but now my Walmart has them in stock. If anyone is interested, just go to their website drinkprotein2o.com and do a store search in your city. If they aren't local for you then you can order a 12 pk from them or Amazon for the same price. Thanks for posting this :D

It would suck all the moisture out of my tongue and even my lips if it touched them. I hated it. I thought it was just me, but my son tried it and had the same thing happen. They taste gross......on a different note, I bought the alpine punch powder and it was really good.

I had tried the Isopure ice tea with lemon before surgery and liked it fine, but it has caffeine so I didn't get any more for post-op. But I wanted something that was clear, for the Clear liquids days. They are just so sickeningly sweet - like jolly ranchers someone said and I definitely agree!

However, I've been using the Isopure Zero Carb powder, both vanilla and chocolate, for over a year now, mixed with almond milk and I like them, as well as the Syntrax chocolate truffle and Peanut Butter cookie I recently bought. I've tried most of the Syntrax fruity flavors (with water) in my pre-op liquid diet and they were OK, but none I wanted to go buy a giant bottle of.

I have been adding small amounts sugar-free Jello or pudding mix to my vanilla isopure to give me some other flavors.

I really enjoy the Syntrax Nectars over crushed like snow cone ice. I can't take a big drink or it hits my eject button and spews out, but if I sip it(like I'm suppose to eventually anyway) it's actually very pleasant and not a chore like the Premier Protein. I got some Matrixx samples recently too. I think the names like Peanut Butter cookie and chocolate cake lured me it! ???? I haven't tried them yet though.

Lol all these posts about Protein sampling is cracking me up. I'm glad I'm not alone in my search. I wonder how much money is spent searching for a protein that can be tolerated.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
