Has Anyone Tried Isopure Protein Water

Has anyone tried the Isopure Protein Water? The bottle has 40g of protein. They are at GNC but didn't want to buy if its crap

I've tried them & actually went to buy some more today. However, I don't really "like" them, but can tolerate them. They taste good going down, but have a horrible aftertaste! You can add some Crystal Light or Mio flavoring to cut down on the aftertaste some, but it's still strong - at least to me. Some flavors are more tolerable than others. I didn't buy much, but I wanted something different since I still have 9 more days on Clear Liquids.< /p>

The grape frost is ok and the Orange Ice...they are fruity but Protein makes the liquid a little thick - like thinned out Jello Water. I added lots of ice and sipped it throughout the day. It counts as liquids too. As the ice melts it thins it even more, some people added a little extra flavor to theirs like a few drops of MIO. It's a great protein source if you don't like or can't have the Protein Shakes.< /p>

I have tried a few of them. After surgery my surgeon puts us on a 10-14 day clear liquid diet and in the hospital we will be given Isopure too. It's like $5.50 a glass bottle, which is suppose to be one serving but at first we won't be drinking all that much. I was actually surprised it didn't have that many Vitamins in it, but of course after surgery they suggest the multi-vitamins. I purchased the optisource chewables and they were like $28.00 from Walgreens - which is only a month supply but the register spit out a $4.00 off next purchase coupon, which will come in handy.

The Green Tea with lemon reminds me of wheat grass, which isn't too bad. The Orange I am not that fond of, but I am going to purchase MIO Orange flavored and that will help it. I tried the Grape, which most people seem to deal okay with and I think if I can find a MIO that will go with it, I will try that.

It doesn't taste that great, but for the clear phase, after surgery, nothing is going to taste all that great anyhow.

My suggestion is to ask your surgeon if they have any small plastic sample bottles and figure out which one you like. It's such a small amount of time you have to be on the clear phase, that I'm sure there will be ways to mask it. I know one thing, I will be looking forward to my Pure Protein 100% whey Protein Frosty Chocolates after the clear liquid phase.

I heard to supplement the clear liquid phase that the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken broth was good, and I have a sample I am going to try this weekend before I start my 3 shake pre-op.

Thank you both! I have a hard time getting all my Protein in. I'm on full liquids right now .

Perhaps buy unflavored 100% whey Protein and add it to your liquids. It's not 100% unflavored, there's still a taste to it - but it's not like a vanilla or a chocolate flavored.

I'm planning on purchasing it and when I go to mushy or pureed phase, add it to cream of wheat, add it instant mashed potatoes, or even add a little extra to my Protein shakes.

I am extremely vain, and with Lupus my hair is a bit fine, and I'm terrified of not getting enough protein, so I'm trying to plan ahead. I have purchased the Biotin and as soon as I get the green light to take I will start taking so I don't hit the 3 month Hair loss situation other's have talked about.

Also referred to as Isopuke. It's terrible. I cannot tolerate it. It's the aftertaste which is like vomit. Save your money.

[dianac29045 2]

Mina what is Biotin for?

[mesaucedo 207]

Biotin is supposed to help with Hair growth. It has mixed reviews from people on here.

[dianac29045 2]

Oooh got it. GNC has a hair, nails and skin Vitamin that's pretty good

[carolinagirlz 20]

tried the mango peach Isopure today. Needless to say after one sip it got poured down the drain. YUCKY!!!!!

I bought some to try before my surgery. I like the blue one. The trick is to get them really cold! My kids tasted them and said they taste like powerade! I definitely like them better than those nasty Protein shots! Lol
