Watered down Isopure



Recommended Posts

Like many bandsters I have a hard time getting in my Protein. I am 10 days post op and just started the mushy food phase. I am so SICK of milky sweet Protein Shakes. I cannot wait to eat my protein...because those shakes make me want to gag :smile: Anyways, I headed on down to GNC today to pick up a bottle or two of Isopure (clear Protein Drink, 40g of protein per bottle). I took a sip...ick! It was too "proteiny". So when I got home I put a few tablespoons of it into Water and bam! My nasty isopure turned into refreshing light tasting water drink.

I am hoping that If I add the full amount of the bottle into my regular water intake that will help me get in the majority of my protein without exercising my gag reflex.

Does anyone take the term "mushy" very liberally? I do. I am eating baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, yogurt, refriend Beans, hamburger Soup, sugar free popsicles, creamy soups....ect.

What do you think of this? Everything is going done fine. No pressure, no getting stuck. I do get full after 6-7 ounces of "food". Keep in mind that I chew it up so it is almost a liquid.< /p>

:wub:

Let me know what you think :scared2:

PS- should I just try Kellog's protein water powder packets? Maybe this would be cheaper...:thumbup::tt2:

I cannot stand the Isopure, but maybe if i add a little to Water it wouldn't be so bad. The grape flavor is so sickly sweet, (with a really bad aftertaste) and i normally like sweet things! thanks for the tip!!

      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.
