Isopure problems?



Recommended Posts

So I had tried my first Isopure beverage (grape) and I only had an egg with ham and cheese(3 hours before). So I'm pretty sure it was the isopure but 20 minutes being done the drink I felt nauseous and then I felt my back door knocking and I ran to the bathroom...

Thoughts? I'm a month out and this is the second time my sleeve didn't seem to like something. The first time I ate a mango and ran to the bathroom.

Anyone else have an issue with this drink?

Are you talking about the clear RTD ones? I ordered a variety pack of them. I had one that I did not like. I had to Water it down. I couldn't deal with the taste at all. The others have been OK. However, I have had only taste issues. good luck figuring this one out.

Not sure I just see them all over instagram and wanted to try it. I'll probably try again and see how it goes.

I currently drink Isopure twice daily and have since the day out of surgery. It is the only Protein Drink that is also packed with Protein and minerals. I've never had the ready to drink kind, however. You really have to drink it very slowly because it has a high concentrate of protein.

Maybe that's why. I drink Water fast and have zero pain or anything so I took Isopure like water. I drank it in a span of 10 minutes (half and then 30 minutes passed and drank the rest.)

Oh yes, that's much too fast. It takes me 2 hours to drink 12 ounces. I think the RTD Isopure is 12 ounces as well. Since 12 ounces contains 50 mg of Protein, you have to drink it much slower. I am also one of those that can gulp Water. There have been a few times I forgot to slow down and regretted it terribly. It's funny that you hate the mango isopure because it is my favorite for the time being. I want to try the Premier Protein shakes since so many people like them, but I still prefer Isopure because it is the only protein drink with addde Vitamin and minerals.

I have had issues with Isopure no matter what I do. Drink it slow or add Water. It just doesn't agree with my stomach and that totally bums me out because I bought the grape and fruit punch in bulk on Amazon so I took it to my surgeons office so they could give it to someone who could use it.

I have had no other issues with any other food or drink since my surgery.

Good luck-

LA

I cannot drink the Isopure, although I love the taste of them! My issue isn't so much the Isopure per se, but it's because it's made with sucralose (Splenda), and my body cannot handle the sweetener...it goes right through me, and it usually takes about 30 minutes. Could this be your issue?

I think maybe. Because like I said in the post I also Had a mango (the fruit not the drink flavor) and that ran right through me. But I also don't think so because I made Cookies and I ate a piece (oops) and I was fine.

Mix with crystal light lemonade and it goes down much easier.

I've tried Isopure, and didn't like it. I got some Genepro-unflavored off Amazon, and it's 40gms of Protein per table spoon. I mixed it in my Water bottle with crystal light peach tea, and I could only taste the peach tea!!! I found the ONE!!!

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
