Clear liquid protein alternatives?



Recommended Posts

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. :-(

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.

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

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.

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.

I just got a sample of that. But I wasn't sure if I could use that yet til I talk to my doctor on Monday. I'm hoping that will work and taste better. :-) Thanks!!

Hmmm. I think I might look into that. Yeah I'm having the same problem with the whey protein. Are they in the diet food section?

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.

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

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
