First day home from Gastric Sleeve surgery! Question about Isopure and protien?

[pampam12 2]

Hi Everyone,

So I did it!! I had the band removed and a sleeve done at the same time.

Its a good thing I did, The surgeon said that I did really well on the surgery, but my liver and band had grown together and he had to scrape the band out of my liver and when there was bleeding.

I never would of thought 5 years ago that a band would grow together with my liver !

I am feeling really well to day I hope the sleeve will work and I will lose some weight !

Today is my first day home and I was able to get the 40oz of Water in.

My question is I have a case of Isopure zero carb Protein drink punch. 160 calories for 20oz of liquid.

Would you consider it a liquid or a small meal like a Protein shake?

I didn't want to sip it all day and stretch out my sleeve .But if its a clear liquid it would be a good way to get some Protein in.

I only got 20 grams of protein today. It took all day to get the 40 oz. of Water.< /p>

Do you happen to know of a tasteless Protein powder I could add to some Soup? or a good protein Soup I could order,that doesn't taste horrible? I ordered atira unflavored and it is un useable..

If you know any answers to my questions I would love to her from you!

Thank you

Is this a duplicate post?

Yes, Isopure (the RTD in bottles) is clear -- you can see through it.

Hi ,
yes I posted it on the sleeve forum also .

But thank you for letting me know. I can see through it.

So I will start counting it as a clear liquid and try to get some more Protein in.

Thank you so much

It counts as both. It's liquid and it has Protein in it so the protein counts towards your protein goals and the liquid counts towards your fluid goals. Isopure makes and unflavored powder that can be mixed into Soups. It's the only Isopure I use. When adding to hot things I mix the powder separately, then temper it that in by slowly adding a bit of the warm beverage to the the Isopure to slowly bring it up to temperature, then add it all together. I never add it to direct heat since that makes it clump up. Slowly tempered in it mixes well and you can barely tell its in there.

Thank you for the feed back!

That is what I was hoping both Protein and liquied.

I am going to get some of the Isopure Protein Powder.< /p>

This is my first day home, so thanks for any tricks you have that will help get me in all the nutrients and what makes it easier to do this healing process.

Thank you
