Just an FYI to all you folks out there:

Isopure powder does not taste the same as the premade bottles. They add other Vitamins and "magic goo" and it makes it creamy and IMO nasty.

I LOVE the apple melon Isopure zero carb. I make Jello from it, freeze it for ice cubes to add to Water, drink it straight...whatever. I thought Id save some money and buy the bulk powder, but it was a bust.

I've used Isopure (powder) everyday since the day out of surgery. It has helped me lose 130 pounds and I love it. I've heard others gripe about the taste, but it tastes better to me than the many others I tried. Not many other Protein drinks can give you 50 grams of Protein in 12 ounces. Because of this, I've never had a day when I didn't get in at least 80-100 grams of protein. The extra Vitamins and minerals give me energy and make me feel healthy.

The unflavored Isopure powder doesn't which is the only one I use. It's 100% whey isolate. No carbs, no sugars. It's perfect for adding to Soups and other savory items without a bunch of artificial dyes or sugars.

Can you get TOO MUCH protein?

@@LousPeachy - It is possible, but again it takes extremely high amounts. Up to 100gms is still within the safe zone. However this is one of the reasons to get regular bloodwork done. If it is too much it can effect your kidney's. This is why it is important t try and eat as balance a diet as possible.

I sip on my Isopure shake over the course two hours. The body can metabolize 25 Protein grams per hour. I don't think 100 grams of protein per day is too much. The daily requirement post op is usually anywhere between 65 and 100.

        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.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
