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.

      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.
