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.

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
