Isopure Disgusting!



Recommended Posts

So I started my clear liquid diet today!!! I have 2 days of clear liquid with my surgery tuesday. I have 8 bottles of Isopure. I opened the coconut and alpine punch and instantly felt nauseated by the taste. I opened up the blue raspberry and that was tolerable not good but tolerable but the after taste was horrible. I drank the bottle gone and started having a icky stomach. I sure hope I can drink one more today and 2 tomorrow. I have grape, icy orange, and pineapple orange banana I haven't tried yet!!!

It's absolutely gross. The chalk like after taste is the worst.

6 months out from surgery and I still drink the grape from time to time.

Try it over ice, anything less than ice cold is not tolerable.

Don't drink any of that garbage dear NOT BEFORE OR AFTER YOUR SURGERY. You will always feel like throwing up. It will make you barf all the time!!!

Instead eat lentil Soup, bean Soups (without the chilli)

I think it's somewhat of an acquired taste. I've tried Icy Orange and the Coconut and they are both ok. Don't make the mistake of "smelling" before you drink it (that applies to any Protein drink/shake, if you ask me). I thought the coconut flavor tasted a little sweet the other day so I cut it with Water. Perhaps that would help you?

I have a sleeve of steel and Isopure is one of two things thing that ever made me gag postop. The other thing was the colon cleanse I had to drink for a colonoscopy 4 months postop.

If you want to stick with a koolaid/lemonade style Protein drink try the Syntrax nectar powders.

You don't need Protein powders, just make some chicken or fish congee and lentil Soups post op.... Your hunger will be for thirst and not food..... DO NOT OVERTHINK POST OP... Apple juice is your favorite buddy for like 3 weeks.... You will feel no hunger, so do not buy stuff you will not need. I am 3.5 months post op, so trust me! @@laceygorrell

I had to drink Isopure for a week postop and I had to force myself to take every sip. It is HORRIBLE. Every flavor. Not one of them was tolerable. It also made the skin of my mouth slough off. The only other time that has happened was with a specific brand of whitening toothpaste. My dentist said there is a certain ingredient used for whitening that causes is. And I drank it for a week? ????

Post op, hurling is much harder and sometimes painful as there is no help from your stomach muscles anymore!!!

Go easy OKAY, all you need to prepare is apple juice and a tequila shot glass (30ml). And your good!

Colonoscopy prep is so disgusting that anyone would gag. I still can remember the thick lemon-lime (supposedly) flavored drink that I had to consume. I swear it was a gallon jug. I've never experienced a Protein drink quite that bad yet.

      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.
