Where is this found? What does it taste like?

I'm really having a hard time getting my Protein in. :eek:

What happens if I don't get enough?

thanks TracyinKS, the protein slam sound perfect for a quick hit when I'm not hungry.

they tell me you can get it a GNC. My banding date is Jan7, 2008

:nervousgood luck in finding it you need alot of protein.

I get Isopute clear liquid at Vitamin Shoppe....usually buy it by the case as it's cheaper.....not the greatest tasting, but I can get it down...has 40 grams of protein, much higher than the Special K and Atkins shakes.....I'm 3 months out and still use it.....gets the protein in with minimal calories..

I am assuming since I like/don't mind the Isopure protein powder that I will also like/not mind the CLEAR drink. Is this a safe assumption?

I don't like the Protein powder (choc/van) but I can take the clear drinks...... but mainly the grape frost....

The green one I could not stomach..

(I bought the variety pack and wished I could trade them in for the flavors I could stomach)

Thanks Tracy. Think I will give the Grape Frost a try.

I agree with everyone else--buy just a little (or get samples) before you buy in bulk!

I made that mistake long before surgery, by stocking up on unjury--only to find now that I don't have much use for the unflavored (except in sugar free/fat free puddings), I'm not crazy about the chicken broth, and likewise for the chocolate (I'm using the last packet today--yay!)

Everyone has different tastes, as displayed here--I'm a chocoholic myself and can't stand the fruity drinks--but that's what makes the world go around! There are tons of websites that carry (whey Protein isolate) and I've found two that are for me--but I'll still sample others from time to time--but just a sample!

I have been trying different protein drinks to see if I like them and I loved this Isopure - Apple Melon! It tasted like an apple jolly rancher almost. Very refreshing!!! I'm going to try the Grape next. The guy at the GNC told me that they usually sell them in 12 bottle bulk too.

Bariatriceating.com has a website with an entire line of products. I ordered several things from them. I was disappointed in their sample of protein shakes. Yes, they had enormous amounts of protien, but no other vitamins and minerals. If you're doing vitamins, I guess that doesn't matter, but I just felt cheated. They have other products that are really good, and their whey protein mixes very easily.

You'll get tired of them fast once that's about the only thing you can have right after being banded. But now that I just drink them occassionally, I like the Alpine Punch, the pineapple banana and Apple Melon. I've never tried the Blue Raspberry and don't like the grape.

I think almost everyone can find one or two flavors to choose from. I prefer it really cold over ice.

I like the pineapple banana too - sometimes it is a little too strong for me so I cut it with Water - tastes pretty good.

If you have a smoothie king store near you go in and try the Gladiator shake - it comes in choc or vanilla and is 180cal with no carbs no fat and 45G of Protein...it is awesome, I usually hate those shakes, but this has worked wonders for me. Smoothie King is awesome as you can buy a shake - see if you like it - then buy the powder for home.

good luck

My update: I can do the isopure clear. It's not the best thing in the world, but I can swallow it without feeling like I'm going to gag. I have to pour about 4 oz into a cup and add about 4 oz of water ... IF I get a whole bottle down in a day, that's a lot of protein plus most of my water.
