Have any of you tried the Isopure/Isopro?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

Just wondering if any of you have tried this type of Protein Drink? They say I could have it on my first week of post???

What does it taste like? Where could I buy it?

I'm just afraid once I"m on the 1st week of clear fluids, I may not be getting enough Protein in????

What kind of Multi Vitamins could I buy? Where could I find liquid adult tylenol???

Lots of the many questions to come.....LOL.

Good day.

:)

Thank you.

Doriana

Isopure is difficult to find in Canada and it is no better than the other type of Protein drinks/powders that are out there (and it is more expensive, I believe).

I used (& still do) Flinstones chewables.....and they're yummy!

There is no such thing as "adult" liquid tylenol (that I could find) but I used children's liquid tylenol and merely asked the pharmacist how much I should take; cause you need to take a whole lot more than is on the directions!! I went through 2-3 bottles of it...it is grapey and REALLY yummy. I also recommend you get some liquid gravol...that really helped me (also cause I was fearful to get nauseous due to fear of vomiting and dislodging my band!!).

*note to La Madam* This is the Canadian area of LBT, and we don't have liquid tylenol here.

And yeah, everything Yoda said. I take Jamieson Vita-Vim chewable Multivitamins (get mine from Walmart, but I've seen them all over).

There are also 'junior' strength chewable tylenol's that I bought quite alot of. They're something like 160mg each, so it takes about 3 to equal 1 extra strength tylenol.. they're yummy too.

I ordered some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder from www.unjury.com. You can order some samples to try it out first. I tried the chocolate, and it was actually good. The good thing is that they have an 'unflavoured' one, so you can do whatever you want with it.

hmmmmm, that is why I specifically mentioned "Canada" in my post....so that the "general public" folks wouldn't wander in by mistake and start saying stuff that I KNOW isn't avail in CANADA...let alone stores like SAVON drugs.....

Oh well.....I guess they mean well....but it does get frustrating sometimes....

Hi Doriana

I actually got the isopro in GNC in Toronto. I did not like it at all. I mixed it with apple juice and I struggled to drink it. It cost $55.00 for this huge container and I used maybe 4 servings. I drank Powerade and Propel and I found they helped me so I did get all goofy from not eatting. I won't kid you I was hungry.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
