December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

[Jerzygurl 372]

Is anyone drinking the Isopure clear drinks? I got some last night because they were on sale. They have 40 grams of Protein so I got a few. If you are, which flavors did you like?

Been drinking them since I started pre-op meal plan. My favorite is pineapple-banana, but I usually dilute in about 40 0z of Water when I do drink them...not crazy about the taste of most of them though..but I will endure through it. I prefer the premier shakes but today I made my own, strawberry banana Protein mix and 8 oz of non fat milk ...it was delish.

I had the red punch today, not too bad. I bought grape today, I hope I like it.

Ok so add Water, thank you! And I got two of the punch ones (they were the ones on sale) and then one green one and and blue one. Sorry I don't know their names. Hope they are good. I also got some PB2 today. Hoping to add it to my vanilla Protein powder and it be tasty.

Yeah I found if I dilute the large bottles I can tolerate taste better. There is a lemonade flavor that mixes well with crystal light rasberry/lemonade powder and water. Very tasty. The grape isn't that bad, don't care for the fruit punch (not my thing in any drink anyway), the blue one is good and the green is like an apple.. I mixed that one with water, a apple Protein shot and a bit of crystal light lemonade. It was good.

You didn't do any damage with that Salmon, it's actually very good for you and will not store any added junk to the liver which generally why they have us do liquid and fasting prior to surgery.

Try the Premier Protein shakes from Sam's, you might like them too.

Thank you!

I was thinking after the "guilt" kicked in...that the salmon wouldn't fully digest by Tuesday and would still be in my stomach! hee hee

I'm so nervous and over thinking everything!

Welcome to the group! I'll get you added to the list when I am back at my computer!

We also have another fun thread I'd like to encourage you to join under the December topic...it's called the Pounds Lost thread and all you have to do is either PM me how many pounds you hope to lose AFTER surgery, or post it on the thread, and we Celebrate everyone's victories with their weight loss. Right now we have over 5000 pounds being lost.

Hope to see you there and welcome! I am a fellow Dec. 11 sleever and am super excited!
