So I got a few bottles of Isopure.. Different flavors.. I tried the Alpine Punch.. It is not good.. Do you all have any good mixtures or ways to doctor it up so it isn't so gross? :(

I found it to be a horrible evil drink, hated one sip after another. With so many other options on the market, I showed this one the door!

I tried lots of things. Even mixed it with Jello. NASTY NASTY NASTY STUFF!!! I agree with Bunny. There are too many other options that are much better.

I cut mine 50/50 with either Water, Hint essence water, or G2. I find it tolerable that way. Not good, but tolerable. Some examples:

apple melon Isopure mixed with Hint Watermelon essence water

Peach mango Isopure mixed with citrus mango G2 natural

stuff like that.

You should only drink Isopure from glass or ceramic containers -- if you put it in plastic (or even steel, I have found), you will never get the smell out again!

I must be weird because I do not mind it at all. It does have to be very very cold.

How long are you supposed to drink it for? Mine is only 3 days... The Isopure mix is sooooo good! In love with Dutch chocolate!

I don't start my liquid diet until next Tuesday.. But I am a creature of habit.. So I am starting to cut back meals and try different Protein drinks now so it's not such a shock to my body when I actually have to do it. I guess I was just looking for something other than the creamy chocolate ones.. I can't stand the vanilla ones..

Sooo.. All my Isopure is going back to GNC.. this is the second time I tried it.. Just a few sips and it makes my tummy feel incredibly nasty.. So they are going back! I also hate and unnerves me to see it foam when Water is added to it.. My search for other Protein Drinks continues..

About 50% of people luv Isopure and 50% HATE it. I'm a hater. I spent a fortune on the stuff 4 yrs ago before my lapband and couldn't even finish 1/4 of 1 bottle. Wish I coulda tasted it beforehand. And back then I had no clue that GNC.com has a taste guarantee. If you don't like it they'll give you ur money back.

My hubby thought it tasted like rotten meat!

      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.
