Where can you buy the Isopure?

I go to the Vitamin Shoppe because I've been to 3 GNC stores in my area and the workers there are ignorant and far from helpful. I found that the Vitamin Shoppe is a bit cheaper, too.

Could artificial sweetener be a problem for you? I have several of the same symptoms as you described when I have artificial sweeteners. I have found a select few Protein Shakes that use stevia instead of artificial sweeteners, and I have no problems (other than not being a fan of the shakes in general). I really, honestly like Betty Lou's Low Glycemic Shakes a lot. They technically have more carbs than I was permitted pre-op, but if you don't count Fiber, the carb count drops to 5, which was within range for me, and there aren't many shakes that have fiber anyway. I highly recommend them.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
