potpieiii 19 Posted October 11, 2013 I'm 10 days post op and my doctor has me on Clear Liquids for 3 weeks post op. So far the only Protein Drink I can find that meets the requirements my nutritionist has given me (less than 15g carbs, more than 11g protein) come from Isopure. And I LOATHE Isopure, every flavor. I'm worried that my complete lack of energy is coming from my lack of Protein, but I just can't seem to make myself sip something so horrible. So I've just been focusing on keeping hydrated. But I think I'm sabotaging my own recovery. Does anyone have any alternatives to Isopure? Or should I be ok for another week and a half just staying on top of getting my liquid in? I'm starting to get really depressed about this whole situation. :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sixbuttons 102 Posted October 11, 2013 I used the Protein Shots from Walmart. Its about $10 for a six pack, but they're 2.9 ounces and easier to get down than regular Protein. That's what I used a few weeks after surgery because I couldn't stomach the regular whey protein. 1 potpieiii reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ratkins 5 Posted October 11, 2013 My doc allows Syntrax Nectar. Only the fruit flavored ones once I have the surgery for my 'clear liquids' week. I havent had one since I havent had the surgery but others have said they are good. I have also heard you can use unflavored and add crystal light to it but as I said before I havent had surgery yet. so good luck 1 potpieiii reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreenEyedFireCracker 21 Posted October 11, 2013 Unjury chicken Soup flavor was good. Like drinking broth. It's online order only at www.unjury.com They also have strawberry sorbet which counted as a clear, but I never tried it. 1 potpieiii reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dfwtxmissy 108 Posted October 11, 2013 I use the Unjury chicken and unflavored. I am getting to hate the Isopure but trying to use it so my hubs doesn't get upset for paying so much for it. 1 potpieiii reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I'm having the same problem with the whey protein. Are they in the diet food section? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
potpieiii 19 Posted October 11, 2013 I just ordered to Unjury chicken broth right now. I hope it gets here quick lol! That sounds lots better. I ended up taking the Isopure back to Vitamin Shoppe and they were cool about it and refunded me for every bottle as long as it was unopened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ended up taking the Isopure back to Vitamin Shoppe and they were cool about it and refunded me for every bottle as long as it was unopened. I couldn't stomach the Isopure either. I'm 3 days out and I have to stay I haven't found one decent flavor. They are beyond gross. They're going back to GNC 1 potpieiii reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
