I just started drinking Isopure a couple days ago. It took me 12 hours to finish the bottle - I'm 10 days post op. The Alpine Punch and pineapple Orange banana is really good! I really like the amount of Protein in them and you get a third of your Fluid intake, even if it takes all day!

^ those Protein shots are not made of quality Protein. They are made with collagen and not whey. Your body does not process collagen the same way as whey isolate and will flush it through. Don't waste your money.

Go with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury (unjury.com) or Syntrax's nectar sweets (vitacost.com or vitaminshoppe) they are smooth and palatable and easy to mix with yogurts, cottage cheese, Water, milk, kefir, pudding...

I could not tolerate the Isopure either.... Until they suggested that I mix it with Water 3:1 ratio - water:isopure... It really helps...

I love Isopure. I drink one a day. I stick to grape and coconut the most. Yes the do smeel bad just dont smell them. Any type of Protein Drink is going to smell bad. if you can drink them for a few days the after taste will start to go away.

I live on those Isopures. Get the grape or peAch mango. Pour half into a 20 ounce plus sport bottle and top off with ice and Water. You will get over 40 ounces of fluids and 40 grams of Protein. Took a while after surgery to stomach them. Cyclosport has some as well that are pretty good and a bit cheaper.

I lived on the Syntrax shakes for the first few weeks, and they're still my go-to 8 weeks out if I need a protein boost. Love the Roadside Lemonade with 16 oz of Water and ice!!

LOL, I don't like Isopure either! But yesterday I bought a bottle of Icy Orange flavor, mixing it with some V8 tropical something or other and Water. It almost tastes like an orange creamsicle. Or maybe I'm just getting desperate. ;) It still leaves a nasty film in my mouth though...

My doc recommends 40-50 gr of Protein per day, so as long as I finish one/day, I'm good. But even then, I don't worry about. This early post-op, I drink as much as I can, stay as hydrated as I can, and choose to not stress over a few grams here or there.

I bought those and after I opened the first bottle and tried to drink it I poured it out and took all the rest back to GNC

Some people really... and I mean REALLY like it. From my experience (both personal and with others) many go with unjury or to vitacost for Syntrax's nectar.

I wasn't too fond of the nectar juices but I will try them again now, that I am post op. I do still enjoy the Nectar chocolate Truffle, vanilla bean torte, and strawberry mousse

      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.
