Kimmy1813 77 Posted July 25, 2013 Now I'm worried...I bought some grape frost and alpine punch (just an 8 pk of each) for later on. Hopefully, I can choke it down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
epc317 13 Posted July 25, 2013 Agreed. I couldn't even finish one bottle. Disgusting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pantala 125 Posted July 26, 2013 I had planned on using Isopure clear RTD for the first week after surgery but had a very strange reaction: I got very flushed soon after drinking it and within 12 hours my fingernails (I have thin "eggshell" nails) began peeling. After the first bottle, I didn't make the connection but after the third I stopped drinking it and the symptoms went away. My hubby had to finish the rest of the bottles I had purchased (took him a month...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zoftig 18 Posted July 26, 2013 It's the WORST ever. I tried a few pre-surgery. gag. I bout a CASE of the coconut as it wasn't as bed as the others but I am 5 days out and haven't even gotten through ONE bottle, and I mix it with (real) coconut Water, regular Water and some white grape juice. I know I am not getting enough Protein (about 20g/day) should I be worrying? I know it will be WAY easier once I am on full liquids (10 more days). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morganne 241 Posted July 26, 2013 Im on pre op liquids... surgery is in 8 days Your taste buds will be completely different after surgery. I will eat things now that you could have never convinced me to in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lsereno 2,525 Posted July 26, 2013 Lots of people like Isopure, but I didn't. My fav Protein drinks were GNC Gold Standard whey in vanilla, which I drank plain or mixed with Starbucks Via Decaf Italian Roast, or powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken. Not nuts about the chicken, but it sat well and was a nice break from sweet drinks. I didn't like the Unjury Plain. I could taste it in everything I tried it with.

AmyInOrlando 348 Posted July 30, 2013 I tried the orange pineapple banana and the grape. The first sip was OK, then yuck..... horrible. I've got 10 more assorted bottles. I guess post op I'll convince myself it's medicine to help heal my sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmyInOrlando 348 Posted July 30, 2013 I found a way to make it tolerable. Mix it half and half with Water. Then it's not half bad (or only half good) 1 Mayfly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
