Hi All,

I am 6 weeks out now, and finally able,to tolerate more things. Down 38 pounds since the day of my surgery. I finally had a bit of reduced - fat cheese, or some no-sugar-added peaches. My surgeon told me about Isopure drinks, and thinks they would be a good idea for me. My problem is, it seems you can only buy them by the case, and I'm reading so many mixed reviews. I can't afford to spend $60+ on a drink and then hate it. Has anyone tried them? Some say that some flavors have a yucky aftertaste, too.

My gym sells it or I tried mine at GNC. My mom was like "They're terrible" and I didn't mind them.

I just made a popcicle with Trusource protein water. I like it!!

I have tried several flavors of Isopure and hated them except for the two tea flavors. I was told they taste better if you water them down though.

I know the Vitamin shop sells individuals as well as GNC

I bought a 6 pack of them from Bariatric Advantage. I drank one and the taste was so bad I haven't touched the other 5. I bought a variety of Protein Drink mixes through them and have liked most of them. The liquid concentrates mix nicely and have had a great taste. I like the pomegranate flavor by ProtiDiet. (Also from BA) if you're s coffee drinker they have a delicious creamy tasting Cappaccino amaretto Protein drink mix. Most of them are 15g of protein per packet, great for in-between meals.

My surgeons office is going to have a protein drink tasting lol I thought that was pretty awesome.

It's a standard part of their preop program

Just had the tasting today and I have to say that isopure coconut is awesomesauce!

GNC has them in singles in their cooler! Don't drink them undiluted though, turn 40 gms into about 40oz of liquid.

Sure is! It's the only one I can drink.

My advice is to ditch the pre-made Isopure beverages. Get the unflavored Isopure powder and try it with Crystal Light. It vanishes in the Crystal Light. My current favorite is Isopure powder, Water, Cherry Pomegranate Crystal Light and frozen berries. I blend all of this in the blender. It is a million times tastier than anything Isopure has in a bottle. Lemonade Crystal light with some added fresh lemon juice also tastes great with Isopure unflavored.

@CharlotteKat. I'll have to try that.

Crystal Light makes me sick to my stomach now. I've heard Atkins has "water" with 20 grams of Protein and is pretty good. Thinking of trying that...

About 2 weeks post op everything sweet was making me sick...found it was because I was in ketosis. All I could drink was Water with lemon/lime squeezed in and a little salt added. Once things got balanced back out I could do my Protein drinks again, but still tasting much sweeter to me now than they did before.
