Zero Carb Isopure - Gnc



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I wasn't sure where to place this but, GNC is having a sale right now buy one get 50% off of everything on their site and then I found a 20% off coupon "LiveWell12" so I am going to purchase the Zero Carb Isopure for post op. I have seen a few people talk about this so I figured why not to switch up from shakes but also just wanted to share the GNC sale as well. :)

Check the price at your GNC. Even with the buy 1, get one 1/2 off, I found that they were less expensive at Vitamin Shoppe. I like the ready-to-drink because of the convenience but they also have powder available. I often split the Isopure into 2 bottles (both 20 oz). I fill both bottles up with a flavored water (many of the Isopure's have a bit of a strange taste to me). I sip on these throughout the day. Gives me 40 oz of Fluid and 40 gr of Protein throughout the day for only 160 calories....... Makes it much easier for me to get in enough protein and fluid - though I'm struggling to get above about 400 calories/day (I'm almost 3 weeks out and still on liquids only - start pureed food on Sunday!!!!! ).

They do taste a bit strange, but they are gold. I liked the orange and the grape best and that's funny because I hate fake grape anything. I wouldn't have gotten the Protein in without it and I believe it helped me heal faster.

      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.
