Thinks i enjoy Crystal Light, Diet Snapple, Tea, Gatorade is ok, and especially Water. broth is very good if you like things warm.

I couldn't bare the thought of broth so I chose to buy chicken noodle Soup and strain it. Basically I love buying Soups and straining them. I hate throwing out the good bits but the broth tastes so much better!

Was anyone able to have Isopure sugar free drinks on the clear liquid stage?

I'm post op and that's what I drink immediately for the day. I get my 40 grams of Protein in immediately. You have to sample a few flavors to find one tolerable. :)

It is considered a clear liquid.

I saw some ensure drinks that were Clear Liquids AND had like 9 grams of Protein today at Target! They had peach and promegranate berry.< /p>

I'm looking at more of the nutrition facts for the ensure and I think it has too many carbs and not enough Proteins. Just a second thought!

My doc said no to ensure. I think for the reasons Dobeigh says above. Isopure really high in Protein but you have to taste the different flavors to find ones you like. They are tolerable but not great. Healthy Shot is another but I haven't tried it.

I am, in fact my doctor suggested it! I bought a whole case. It's a purple liquid! They are decent, have a slight gritty after taste. It's better for u then Gatorade.

My neighbor said he lived on Isopure RTD and Miso Soup. Miso is soy-based, so there's Protein there. I went looking for it yesterday at the local grocery store where he said he got some instant packets, but didn't find it. I'll be on the hunt, because I like it.

You gave me a craving and man was it good. All I had to do was run it through a strainer. It was a wonderful change for my taste buds. I was a bit down this morning as I had tried some skim milk with Protein for the first time and let's just say I doubt an ounce was consumed. I'm really hoping it was the protein that didn't agree and not the milk. I so wanted to still be able to drink milk. Miso made my day!!!!

Just an idea for your broth. I bought the resealable broths and before I drink them I add either the beef or chicken bullion granules. It gives it a much needed flavor boost. The Wylers brand bullion is the best

I strain Soups as well. Wonton Soup and egg drop soup a d and soup from Thai restaurants should all be good.

I personally didn't like Isopure (I call it Isopuke, sorry to it's fans) but I tried another one called Cytosport whey Isolate. It's a ready to drink (RTD) bottle with I think 32g of Protein in it. It's a clear liquid and comes in watermelon, tropical (it's green) and tangerine. I like the tropical and tangerine ones. I found them at Vitamin Shoppe.

Miso Soup rocks!

You can also make Jello and add Protein powder to it before you refrigerate. I think on unjury's site they have recipes for this.

Good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
