How The Hell Do You Drink Isopure?



Recommended Posts

If you are in my area, I would give you some for free to taste. Sorry I won't ship... but I loved them. They are a bit tart at first, but not puke-y like Isopure IMO. I liked these in a 28 oz mug with ice and it was do-able!

I must still be really wiped out from surgery. I'm five days out and Isopure clear is all I've had. That said I can't meet my goals for liquids or Protein so I guess I should try to shake things up tomorrow. After a horrible surgery I'm sort of afraid to leave clears.

That stuff actually looks really good on paper. How does it taste?

Is it considered a clear liquid?

If you're not able to get all your liquids, then don't worry about Protein yet. Focus on Water, keep hydrated. The protein will come as the swelling reduces.

:wub: :ph34r: I have your answer... http://www.cytosport...-ready-to-drink << it's a link to Cytosport's RTD whey Isolate drinks. Straight up... yum!

I was on a clear liquid diet for a LONG time and it sucked. I hate isopuke (my apologies to anyone who likes it but YEEEEAKKK) and I hate Protein bullets. But this drink in green (tropical) or orange (tangerine) ROCKS. I bought them at Vitamin Shop. They have a refrigerated section where you can buy these individually and try them. Try anything, but keep your receipt. You have 7 days and even if it's open and you hated it, bring it back for a refund. (hello, Protein bullets... how do you think I know their return policy?) And yes, your tastebuds DO change, so remember Vitamin Shop has a great refund policy (that stuff is expensive, any of that stuff that is!).

Good luck!

I think I will take a trip to the Vitamin Shop this week and try one or two of the Isopure and Cytosport. I will report back with my findings. Fingers crossed!

I think I'm going to take your advice :). I gained 17.8 lbs between the hour before surgery and release from the hospital so I think the bloating is making it harder. I only have about 20oz in today and I think I'm working hard on it! Maybe tomorrow I'll just give the Protein a break and see if that helps. Thanks :)

I'm not a fan but I would mix it with crystal light. Okay make the crystal light first then mix it with the Isopure. I put the crystal light directly in a bottle of Isopure and it didn't mix well.

I drink Syntrax fuzzy navel with crystal light.

The cytosport whey isolate's RTDs are "clear" liquids. Yes.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
