I'm trying to stock up before my surgery next week and I wanted to do sort of an informal poll. What flavor of Isopure (or the nectar brand that everyone's always talking about) did you find most tolerable right after surgery? TIA!!

They're all pretty bad but orange and grape are a bit less bad than the others. I recommend you cut it with Gatoraide or Vitamin Water to vastly improve the taste.

Don't stock up on too much. What you like now, you may detest after surgery. I hated the orange pre op, but post op it was the only one I could tolerate.

Syntrax Nectar caribbean cooler is my fave right now. I blend it with 8oz fat free milk and 5 or 6 ice cubes. To me it almost has a piña colada type taste, less the rum. :-)

It's funny because I put off buying Isopure because everyone said it was disgusting. I like the grape and the fruit punch. They are a lot better than the powder Protein drinks that I forced. Myself to drink early on. I also do not find that anything tastes any different than before surgery.

Best of luck.

I held off buying Isopure & after tasting it know why. That stuff was a waste of $$ & I could hardly even take a sip of it w/ out wanting to vomit. To each his own though.

I've tried the orange, and it tastes ok, but smells weird, if that makes sense. I think the best way to drink it is with a straw, so you don't inhale it as you're taking a sip. I agree that mixing in some low-cal gatorade would probably help it.

It's trial and error with the Isopure. The grape and orange are pretty mild. They do have funny smells and odd tastes and will leave your mouth and teeth feeling weird/ cotton mouth. Make sure they are cold.

I noticed that they don't have sample packets of the flavors only the huge tubs.

anyone know where to get the Syntrax Nectars in smaller quantities so I can try them out?

Also, they had a oreo one that looked really good and a chocolate mint one too!

They do actually have the variety pack. I found it on Amazon. I think it costed like 45 bucks for 20 shake mixes.

I personally do not care for them but the have 50 oz of Protein and good for me to keep in a pinch.

Mix Isopure 50/50 with Gatoraide or Vitamin Water. Taste will be fine.

      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.
