So if it's 24 g. per full scoop, how much Water does one add to a full scoop of Syntax ?

Oh, nevermind my last question. I saw on Amazon that the directions read 8-16 oz. per full scoop. Thank you! I will give it a shot! :)

HOW MUCH Protein is in one of these drinks.. and is this why you drink one a day? Just my question for you....Do you get other protein , in other ways?

The Isopure ready to drink is 40 grams of protein per 20 oz bottle. I also get protein from pureed meats and I make a 24 oz Protein Shake every morning using 1-2 scoops of Unjury w sf flavored syrups and soy milk, sometimes a spoon of instant coffee, greek yogurt, or a banana etc... I try to make sure that every oz of food or drink counts.

My Nut says the Isopure is lacking in carbs that I need and suggested mixing it with a pure fruit juice. I mix cranberry juice with the fruit punch 8oz isopure and 4oz pure cranberry, it cuts the artificial sweetener taste and has a nice tartness to it.

Great idea! I will have to try this.

Was sleeved 10/1 struggled getting in my 60 g of Protein, - do not like the chalky shakes - I recently switched to a Liquid Protein ( New Whey liquid protein ) 42 g of protein in each bottle comes in different favors - they taste nasty drinking it out of the bottle but I mix a third of it with Water in a sports bottle now it just taste like Vitamin water it last a day or two. At Walmart cost about $2.50. Acts as a great supplement to other Proteins and no messy blender!

I am the poster child for herbalife Protein drink mix. The mango peach is so good and has 15 gm Protein for 2 scoops. I sip it all day and meet my protein and Fluid goals. It has a more crystal lite texture, not a thick texture at all. I order it on Amazon and have gone through about a tub a week since my surgery.

I have only tried the pumpkin spice and while I would not call it chalky, it is very very sweet.

I have tried the "ready made" shake from GNC meal shake" pumpkin spice" was the flav..i LOVED IT. it was 170 cal..

and 25 grams of high Protein... ONLY bought one to try it.. I would buy it again. and keep it in the fridge..

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
