Isopure (Yuck!)

[Angelica90 13]

So far I have tried apple melon and iced tea and I feel nauseous afterwards, this is pre-op. My surgery is 8/24. Any other alternatives? Help!!

Are you required to be on Clear Liquids? If so, Syntrax Nectar fruit (and tea) flavored powders are good. Mix them with ice Water and a sprinkle of Crystal Light. For RTD, I have heard good things about Atkins Lift.

I found the Isopure much easier to tolerate if I mixed it 50/50 with a similar flavor of G2 or Powerade Zero. That helped a lot.

If you don't have to be on clears, you have a world of possibilities.

In addition to Syntrax Nectar, I also liked ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates. They are good undiluted over crushed ice.

pre op I was only allowed to use unjury.

It was nice to have the chicken Soup for something savory.

Mixing the strawberry with lemonade crystal light made it pretty good.

vanilla and chocolate wasn't too bad with just milk.

I didn't use much of the unflavored.

Thank you for the tip. I have to be on clear liquids one day before surgury and two days after surgery. So I am trying these shakes now. But if they are yucky now imagine post op lol

Thank you! I need to drink everything with ice, I will give it a try later on

I wanted to get the unflavored one but I don't want to go overboard buying things. I have the chicken broth one. How do you usually prepare it? @@cindyw41

I prepare mine with my Keriug coffee pot Water, or microwave the Water, boil it. Pour in about 8-10 ounces water in cup, put ice cubes in to bring water down to 140 or a bit less. Then put 1 scoop of chicken broth into cup and stir good. Done!

I have put a scoop of unflavored into my coffee, I have to use 1 tsp sugar and Creamer. But the water has to be 140 or a bit under or it won't mix well at all. I have a meat thermometer I got when I started I go by.

I couldn't stand the Isopure or Syntrax nectar..yuck ???? I relied on Unjury chicken Soup ...it was the only clear Liquid Protein I could stomach.

I ordered the sample pack from unjury. It came with a mixing cup and a thermometer. If it's not hot enough or too hot the Soup will not mix properly. I also used my Keurig but still checked the temp. Sometimes it was too hot and needed to cool down a bit.

Currently in the middle of my liquid diet. The Isopure coconut is good chilled... if you like coconut.

I also do what @#9grammy does... put a scoop of Isopure unflavored powder in my decaff coffee with a little Stevia.

Make sure you follow directions and do not mix the powder in a liquid that is over 140 degrees otherwise it destroys the integrity of the Protein.

Good luck to you @@Angelica90 !

It isn't a cheat it's a choice.

Next time, you feel the urge to "cheat" try to reach for something on plan (sugar-free Popsicle, a Protein Shake, even a piece of turkey). You can do this. It isn't forever and it is for your benefit.

I did the unflavored Isopure in Water with lime juice. Best Protein water i had as the flavored ones really have a chemical and too sweet aftertaste to me.
