Is the Isopure any good?

To me it was intolerable. I hated the taste, but everyone is different. I started off with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate splendor, but I quickly tired of it. So

I switched to Syntrax nectar. Which is cheaper, has less calories, less sodium and tastes a lot better in my opinion. But I'd say try it and see what you think.

All the Syntrax flavors I've tasted are great. But I have to admit, Isopure has a lot of Protein. If you find a flavor that you can tolerate keep a few bottles around for times your having a hard time reaching your Protein goals. And as D'Sleeved said, you can always add Splenda or stevia to help with the taste. But I personally vouch for Nectars. I have Fuzzy navel and Roadside Lemonade at the moment. Fuzzy navel tastes almost like a less sweet sunny D and Roadside Lemonade tastes exactly like lemonade.

Isopure grape frost and icy orange are not to bad especially when chilled. Now that I am starting to work out again I find they are good for recovery.

Great to here ; you have to do what's best for you ... I am at the beginning stage of the game, I will be incorporating many Proteins as at the day, weeks,months , and years comes... I like to here the different foods and drinks everyone has tried, eventually I will be utilizing other strategies to get the 60-80 grams of Protein in daily.

Thanks for the inputs

I'm pre-surgery (with a date set 9/20) and I tracked what I was eating for a week just to see my typical amount of Protein in a day. I found that I was only taking in about 20g!

I added a morning Protein shake thinking I'd just start a habit a little early, and what do you know .. I lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks! I guess we all need to do what it takes to get it in, no matter how good (or awful) it might taste

drink Protein shake for Breakfast, Snacks two cups of vegetables, lunch another shake, snack two more cups of veggies, and for dinner another Protein Shake

I did my best it's 8:05 pm and I am not hungry... I have been drinking a lot of Fluid

Everyone I did try the apple Isopure... I added a lot of crushed ice for 1/2 the bottle... And I made popsicles out of the rest. When I drink it, it didn't taste that bad... Besides I was cleaning up my house and it was like 90 degrees out side... I was drinking it like it was juice lol

      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.
