I bought single bottles at GNC. They had a few different flavors in single bottles.

I'm glad I was able to try them bc they made me gag...a whole case would have been an absolute waste of for me.

The only store like that I have here is GNC and they have no single bottle :( I was hoping I could find a watery Protein drink because shakes do not stay down. Since pre op. so I'm ordering unflavored Protein and hoping that'll help.

BARFOLA!

Don- I thought you could have 30 grams of Protein an hr?

Amen! I bought a whole case from GNC.com cuz my nurse said they tated like Jolly Ranchers. Not sure where she gets her Jolly Ranchers but they don't. managed to swallow maybe 1/3 of a bottle before chucking it. Gave the rest to my brother in law, while weight training. That was before I knew about gnc.com's taste guarantee. If you don't like something, they'll take it back and give you 100% of your money back.

I wouldn't buy a whole case either. You might want to go to your local GNC and see if they have a bottle you can try. It must be an acquired tasted. I sure never acquired it...

Please buy individual bottles first to sample. I could have managed the flavor (which IS weird) but they made me break out and my fingernails broke and split. My hubby had to finish them......

Isopure is the only Protein drink I'll drink.

The key is to always try before you buy with this stuff.

People rave about Quest bars and to me they taste like a chewy blob of dookie.

I have no way of buying an individual bottle so I will just pass on them. Ill rely on my unflavored Protein because the nectar shakes are revolting.

Per nectar comment, have you tried the sweet line? They have double cookie, chocolate truffle, vanilla bean and more. I think you might like them. I did not not like the fruity flavors much, especially the fuzzy navel.

Yes I have tried chocolate cookie vanilla bean torte Cappuccino lemonade wild cherry fuzzy navel caribbean cooler and chocolate truffle. They all had a very sickening medicine taste to them (I'm assuming the protein) and no matter what I made them with, milk Water or almond milk, I could keep them down for more than a half hour.

I am sorry to hear that. Truly I am. I hope you find something you can keep down. You might try muscle milk lite. There are a ton of flavors and I am hooked on birthday cake flavor. Love it! One thing you want to be aware of is the carb count per serving. Try and aim for 3 g carb or less. Another good Protein shake I have tried recently is Synth 6. Actually, it is my preferred recovery shake because it is a super all around Protein matrix. And it tastes really good. I do NOT like the Isopure RTD bottles. I will drink one if I have to, but the tastes is a turn off for me.

I'm with you, Shelby! I bought a ton of Protein powders pre-op, most being nectar....I can't stomach them post op!

Have you ever seen one of the older garbage trucks driving down the road during a late summer record breaking heat wave, and there is this awful smelling and looking liquid trailing from the truck..... that is the Isopure fountain... stuff tastes foul and is slimy.

I got a 3 pound tub of powder online with Vitamin world for $44 which I thought was a good deal. Sounds like you may just be intersted in the pre made bottles I refuse to by those, I just mix mine (unflavored) with G2 or Powerade zero. Of course Im still pre op so my taste for it may change....but so far so good

Muscle milk was very good pre op just haven't tried it post op yet. That for me is a good pick because its readily available at almost all of our gas stations here in town. And hy-vee has sales every once in a while so I can bulk up. I'm worried about trying dairy post op though. Has anyone had any adverse reactions to a milk based Protein Shake? I have some Special K strawberry flavor Protein Shake I may try tonight just to see if I can keep down the dairy. Before I buy a lot of muscle milk anyway. Thanks for all your help!!! Down from 322 day of surgery to 315 today :)

No we have only GNC and Walgreens and neither carry them but that's ok I think I would rather mix my own unflavored with juices or shakes. A previous post said they mixed with g2? Did that taste ok? I'm a huge water/flavored water/Gatorade/powerade lover so that would be ideal!!

This loooooong website has packs of Isopure for 39 dollars (12 bottles)! I like the icy orange (kind of taste like a dream bar Popsicle to me) and the coconut (piña colada)! I take these on the beach with me. It's perfect because 40g of Protein and not milk based so they can be out in the hot sun! Hope that helps! If the website doesn't work let me know I can repost it! :)

      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.
