dcmusicmom 3 Posted August 17, 2013 Does Anyone have any good suggestions for Liquid Protein that can be taken. I'm still on Clear Liquids but feel I should get Protein in. Can't start Protein Shakes until next week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharonlaff 17 Posted August 17, 2013 Isopure is great. it's a clear liquid 40g Protein. 0 carbs. I like all the flavors... kinda expensive but worth it. GNC and Vitamin shop 2 SmilinNC and Bellanthin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sadfat1962 11 Posted August 18, 2013 What to do??? I am 1 month post-op tomorrow and haven't been able to stomach Protein Shakes AT ALL. I am eating small amounts of food. Was in the ER for minor dehydration, a UTI and low Iron. Haven't felt good at all since surgery, along with hardly any energy. They did a bunch of tests and my Protein level was good... Hoping the iron helps pick me up... Doing my best to get all my Water in, but vomit every time I try a Protein Shake. The doc said that once our stomach heals and we can eat normally, that we shouldn't have to rely on drinking the shakes for protein... Help??! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JennyBeth 127 Posted August 18, 2013 I also couldn't handle the Protein Drinks. I've told my surgeon I'm done even trying and just always try to eat Protein. My surgeon said he'd rather you get protein from food vs. shakes anyways. My protein is lower than what it should be each day, but I'm losing weight pretty steadily. I'm not too worried about it and my surgeon doesn't seem to be either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nmck 68 Posted August 18, 2013 I really like the Isopure that is ready to drink. It's expensiveat GNC, but cheaper if you order a case from Amazon. I'm still drinking 1/2 a bottle each day to boost 20 gramsof Protein to my daily total. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nmck 68 Posted August 18, 2013 However, the Isopure powder I have tried is disgusting, in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttyler1029 26 Posted August 18, 2013 I read this thread earlier, and went to buy some Isopure to try. Can't say I cared much for it we tried the blue raspberry. I also got the alpine punch and apple melon. Maybe one of those will be better you can get singles to try at Vitamin Shoppe. They are $4.19 a piece. I like the banana creme muscle milk, poured over ice with just a splash of orange juice... To me, that tastes amazing!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACB1008 1 Posted August 19, 2013 Hiya! I could not tolerate the Protein Shakes too well until I tried the nectar brand...it is VERY light & I have been able to tolerate it VERY well...just seem to be soooooooooooo hungry, so I have to drink it every couple of hours. I have tried the fuzzy navel (peach) and the lemon tea (tastes like Lipton's lemon tea to me). Just be careful with the lemon tea bc it does have caffeine in it and I did not realize when I purchased it and I did not sleep at all last night . So just a heads up! The Isopure is really good also, but it just seems to dry my mouth out lol...I get to begin blenderized foods in 10 days AND COUNTING lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason_in_Texas 9 Posted August 19, 2013 I really like the Isopure that is ready to drink. It's expensiveat GNC, but cheaper if you order a case from Amazon. I'm still drinking 1/2 a bottle each day to boost 20 gramsof Protein to my daily total. You may want to try it first before you buy a bunch. It has a very distinctive aftertaste that I found slightly unpleasant pre-op but utterly intolerable post-op. It's a great way to get your protein if you like it though.
