Recommended Posts

Hey all Im finally getting sleeved on Tuesday 11/1 :) Im excited and very much freaked out too.. normal right?

Im curious to see if anyone on here has used RTD Isopure as soon as they get home... ? my post op diet is 1 wk clear fluids (isopure?) then 1 week full liquids if Im cleared at my 2 wk apt then I can start purees...

Im stocked on all the propel zeros, crystal lights, sf popcicles...

Thanks!

Yes I sure did! I liked the Orange and Purple flavors. However I did have to Water them down a lot because the flavor was a bit much for me post surgery.

All the best on your surgery day!!! :)

I was going to buy them on Amazon.com but the local GNC store here normally has them on sale for $1.00 each so its a way better deal to do that! I've been drinking Protein drinks for the last 6 months and Im TIRED of them, I just recently found these.. pretty tasty!

Yay for your first pureed meal!!! :) I cant wait to be excited for that!

How I wish Amazon would ship to me!! I am envious. :)

I loved having a bit of warm chicken broth- pick up a can to try too. After 10 days of fluids I was pretty sick of everything though.

Good luck on your upcoming surgery!

I have some and I couldn't get past the texture. I thought they felt really gritty in my mouth. I never tried the watering it down thing though, maybe that would be helpful.

Isopure was the only Protein I could tolerate right after surgery. Two bottles a day for the 2 weeks post-op liquid phase. After about 3 weeks I could drink Pure Protein.

I am 3 months out and still drink a bottle of Isopure a day. I get it at GNC. If you go the GNC route make sure and get their "Gold Card". It gives you a pretty big discount the first week of each month. Experiment with the different flavors, some are better than others and make sure that you get the zero carb ones. They have an Isopure smoothie too, but I found it was pretty high in calories. Good Luck.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
