I am pre-op diet and Dr told me to replace meals for the next 5 days with high Protein low calorie shakes. Went to GNC and they told me Isopure was the way to go. Any feedback on isopure drinks?

That is what I used and it was on the list of Protein Drink I could have from my Dr. Office.. I would get the vanilla Flavor and put frozen fruit and blend it in my blender... Was pretty good! if there is a Vitamin Shoppe near you I would buy Isopure from there. GNC is just way TOO EXPENSIVE! you would be amazed in the price difference between stores!

Thanks for the input on stores. The Isopure I purchased comes in a clear bottle, you do not mix it?

I ordered a case of Isopure fruit flavored Protein drinks before I had surgery cuz my nurse told me they tasted like Jolly Ranchers. They don't. I drank one (took me all day to get the thing down) and gave the rest to my brother in law. If you bought the frut flavored ones, make sure you taste them before that's the only thing you have to drink.

I LOVE the Isopure zero carb Protein Drinks. The ones in the clear bottle that aren't milky. My fav flavor is the blue. My only problem with them is the cost. They are a bit pricey at $6 a bottle. Everyone has different tastes so your best bet is to get one and try it.biggrin.png

I agree the drinks are hard to get down, the only one I could stand was the grape flavored one, try diluting them with a little Water.

For Protein powder drinks, you can get Pure Protein 100% whey for $17.00 for a large, large jug at Walmart. One scoop with 1 cup skim milk, 1 splenda and a handful of ice blended in your blender make a nice, chocolately shake that tastes great at about half the price of the Isopure. However, I too really enjoy the Isopure clear protein drinks in the bottle, especially grape. I drink at least 1/2 a 20 oz bottle daily to boost my protein intake (I am just 16 days out from surgery). They are expensive but you can shop around.

Buy the least amount possible in case you dont like them...and stand next to your sink or a bucket when you try them! I had to yak it right back up, it tasted like old bones and I think I saw sea monkeys in it! But some people love it!

I buy the Premier Protein drinks at costco. They just taste like sweet milk. Not thick and no mediciney taste. They are 160 cals and 30 grams of Protein and I still drink one every morning.

I tried all the flavors of the RTD Isopure and they all had a horrible after taste (chalky). While the Protein amount is great, I just could not take it!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
