Isopure, is it worth $5.39 a bottle?

[jc4444 120]

Hey fellow sleevers, I just bought some Isopure, just wondering if anyone has some suggestions and comments on how it works. As in fullness, taste and hydration. Thanks

VSG on March 20th!

its ok. i bought some of the smaller 8oz bottles and they have an odd aftertaste. they seem too thin to provide any fullness, but they seem to provide good hydration.

Nooooooooo! Yuck, yuck, yuck.

That's the only filled me up when I was on my clear liquid diet ! It tastes like crap though

I choked it down when I was on clears because I knew I needed the protein!! I diluted it with Water. It just left this weird stringy film in my mouth! Yuck! But clears doesnt last long and you need that protein!! Best wishes!!!

May I suggest that you don't stock up on any one source of Protein presleeve? Your tastes are going to change along this journey. So grab different types and see what works for you.

Isopure 40gm clear Protein was my savior post surgery since I couldn't choke down those sickenly sweet and thick protien shakes post surgery. I got the 40gm protien Isopure from GNC, green Applemelon was the only one I could force down. Took me all day to drink it but at least I was getting in some protien. Isopure was taken only for nutrition and not for taste.

At 2 1/2 years post sleeve I try to stick to one day a week of liquid protien drinks. My drink of choice now is Premier Protein from costco or Sams club with 30gm of protein per serving.

I managed to drink one, once. For my pre-op clear liquid day. It left white stringy things in my throat and tasted rather... erm. I didn't pick up any more of it.

Thanks for all the info! I think I'm gonna take these back and all the powder too!

I bought it also. My thoughts on it are no, it's not worth 5.39/bottle. The green one - apple melon I think it is was probably the best. The red one - the worst. They do have a disgusting aftertaste, in general, it is an acquired taste. However, for the calorie count & for the no carbs mixed with the high content of Protein - it's pretty convenient in that sense.

I'm a stay-at-home mom that cannot afford to pay that much for my drinks. The most affordable choice with the best amount of Protein, sugar and low carb are the Premier shakes from costco. I lived off of those the first weeks.

Now I have switched to low-fat Muscle Milk. It's also affordable and comparable to Premier. It has 20 grams of protein, but I add a cup of nonfat milk because I don't like the thickness of most shakes, plus I need the calories right now. Also, it adds 8 ounces to my Fluid intake (adding the milk) and goes up to 31 grams instead of 20.

I agree with the post about not buying too much of anything until you find one that works for you. Sorry for the long answer!

I've been drinking the PREMIER PROTIEN shakes for a long time now! I love them, well the chocolate, I got burned out on the vanilla after the first 2...

I learned to drink one with a 16oz bottle of Water, and it fills me up for hours. Also if you add some of the powder PROTIEN and skim milk to it, makes the stomach happy and full a little longer!

My favorite , still drinking them !

It cracks me up how all our taste buds are different! I'm pre-op but am "under orders" to try to find at least a couple of different Protein options and Isopure is the only thing I can really handle. Not as fond of the powders as a person can only have so many shakes!

I really, really liked the Blue Raspberry one.It reminded me of kool-aid I used to have when I was younger. I didn't notice an aftertaste per-say but I did notice that my mouth felt a bit dry after every sip of it. Which I found do-able as it made me drink more of it and water! lol I've seen a lot of mixed reviews on the different flavors so don't know if I picked up one of the "good" ones.

You may want to try their powders. I haven't noticed that gross smell with it and it really did mix up freakishly well. Still not as tasty as a milk shake from Cookout but I was able to drink it and I"m apparently really picky when it comes to Protein shakes.

And the worst part about it is that even though I found Protein I liked pre-op, my taste buds and tolerance changed so much post-op that I had to go through it all over again!

Noooo! Braving GNC is bad enough now as it is! But to do it again?! ~dies~ lol I'm seriously hoping that my taste buds don't change or, if they do, they allow me to choke down some of the Protein that's cheaper!
