Hello everyone! I'm getting banded on October 3rd and I'm going out today to shop for my first two weeks! My nutritionist recommended I buy Isopure for protein...has anyone bought this ? I just want some feedback before i go out and buy it as it is quite pricey!!!

My doc recommended the juicy, but frozen into pop's for after surgery. That way you get the Protein and the taste good too. I hear the liquid is pretty thick but the powdered protein is good too. You can also try Matrix Mint Cookie and cream or Costco's protein too. Both are awesome!

The grape Isopure is not terrible. The worst part is it kind of has a weird after-taste. You should be able to buy one bottle and see if you like it. It does have a lot of Protein and I drank it when I needed to get in more protein than I could eat.

I bought pure Protein vanilla and mix it with pumpkin pie spice and vanilla. Today I mixed rasberry sugar free Jello in with the Protein Powder and it was good. The nutrionist told me also you could mix vanilla with sugar free orange for creamsicle. Just a couple ideas.

I like the Isopure Protein Drinks. I mix mine with 1/2 Water 1/2 Isopure. I also have to have it ice cold...I found a web site that you can order a variety box of 12 for $39.89 (about $3.32 a bottle)...www.luckyvitamin.com

Good luck!

I've only tried the fruit Isopure Protein drinks. Grape is definitely the best. (Think weak KoolAid.) Alpine Punch is alright too. Slight after taste to all, but not too bad. Green apple was beyond funky nasty to me. They are pricey though, but on buy one get one half off through the 27th at gnc... Just fyi.

I have tried the Isopure (I think it's Frosty Orange) Orange and the Alpine Punch. Both are good, but I drink them 1/2 Water 1/2 Isopure, and on a TON of ice! The weird after-taste seems to not exist when you mix it with water. They are a refreshing change from the thick Protein shakes!

      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.
