OK, I can't stand Isopure, any other ideas



Recommended Posts

I am two days out from surgery and I tried to drink Isopure, and Cytomax but I can't get past the smell of Isopure and Cytomax is too sweet, even cut with Water.

Any other Protein thoughts? My nut says clears until next Thurs, but my doc said shakes were Ok, not sure what the story is??

I did Unjury unflavored mixed with crystal light (to hide the flavor). I dont think you can buy unjury in stores though.... maybe you could have it overnighted

I too couldn't get past the smell and taste of Protein powders. What FINALLY worked for me was the unjury chicken Soup. It's a little salty in flavor, but none of the issues I had with other Proteins. It is 21 grams of Protein.

I also use [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Instantized-Protein-2-7-Pound/dp/B000GIUQOG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1276226079&sr=8-1]Amazon.com: 100% Any whey Protein: Health & Personal Care[/ame] and add 1/2 scoop to my yogurt and or sugar free Cocoa powder. I cannot taste it at all and it boosts my protein by 8.5 grams.

Good luck in finding what works for you. I know it was a struggle for me and many others.

Are you using the Isopure ready-made (which are clear liquids)? It took me trying several flavors to find a couple that I could tolerate. I liked the grape frost, and have even mixed some grape kool-aid to "beef-up" the flavor. I bought several brands of Protein powders, and would drink them when I forced myself, but really preferred the ready-made. One think I found I could drink in the beginning was cold coffee mixed with a chocolate powder and shaken with crushed ice. My doc considered that a clear liquid.

The Vitamin Shoppe and GNC have lots of Protein drinks in the cooler that you can buy just one of to try. That's what I did with the Isopure to find a flavor I liked. Good luck in your quest!

Glad you asked I feel the same way! okay, Vitamin Shoppe is where i got it. Jay Robb unflavored whey Protein Powder. It disolves in cold and warm Water but not hot water. Melt your buillon cube and wait a bit. Put a scoop of the powder in a large enough saucepan with the buillon in it and use a wisker to break it up. Takes a few minutes but totally melts! and no taste at all except the buillon!!! I am so excited. I am 5 days out. good luck

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
