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..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
