Jessiegurl2686 104 Posted May 16, 2013 I just took my first drink of Isopure like 5 min ago.. I almost lost it !!!! I hope I have a different experience because I don't think I can't handle that stuff the smell just made me nauseous.... Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica H 79 Posted May 16, 2013 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! 1 SheWins1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kulita 243 Posted May 16, 2013 ^ 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...

blackie220 92 Posted May 16, 2013 Ohhh...thank you.....ill return them...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livingforme2013 17 Posted May 16, 2013 I could not tolerate the Isopure either.... Until they suggested that I mix it with Water 3:1 ratio - water:isopure... It really helps... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TapSnap 357 Posted May 16, 2013 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. 1 SheWins1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcn1970 239 Posted May 16, 2013 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.

Love the Roadside Lemonade with 16 oz of Water and ice!! 1 MIJourney reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cinward2001 141 Posted May 18, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rosa 29 Posted May 18, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kulita 243 Posted May 19, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
