Isopure unflavored protein tips



Recommended Posts

I’m one month post op! The last week or two I haven’t been getting much Protein down due to not being able to hold diary or creamy based Protein Drink and it’s kicking me in the butt now so I’m back on track and focused for success!

I’ve tried the Isopure protein juices, no good yuck. I couldn’t stomach it. I know I don’t NEED to like it but I wanna atleast drink something that doesn’t make me dry heave lol.

I bought the Isopure unflavored protein! I’ve added it to my fruit and veggie smoothies so far, I’ve heard people just mix it in with their Water or water + crystal light.

What are some of your favorite things to put it in to meet your protein requirements?

I tried Isopure, but the taste was awful. My wife seemed to like it. I used Muscle Milk Light (Vanilla Creme) powder blended with Water and a half a banana. That was the closest thing I could find that I could tolerate.

I add the Isopure Unflavored to homemade chicken and beef broth, then stir in a spoon of cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, or other creamy Soup.

I also stir it into spicy V-8, then heat the V-8 and add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or brewer's nutritional yeast to taste like Tomato Soup.

I also use it to make Protein pancakes (but you probably can't have that yet).

This is my favorite smoothie. You can probably handle it now, but check with your doc:

1 scoop Isopure Protein Powder

1/2 tsp extract (love banana)

1oz frozen blueberries

1oz frozen spinach

3g benefiber for Fiber

12fl oz Water, or unsweetened vanilla coconut milk, etc

4 cubes ice

Blend to smithereens and add ice cubes, then blend until smooth.

I add to coffee and oatmeal. It adds a little creaminess.

Before you buy this be sure to check in with your Dr or Nutritionist. But...I a huge coffee drinker for sure. BTW BariatricPal Store has a new product, it is NO ACID COFFEE Even my hubby likes it. LOL So back to unflavored Protein: I put GENEPRO in my Espresso every day. No taste at all. Win-win for me!!! It definitely has no taste at all. I tried Isopure and personally, it was so gross!! I commend anyone that can drink it!! GROSS!! I tried a Protein unflavored called PROTEINEX!! According to my DR. that is why I ordered it. He was wrong!!

      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!!
