Isopure ready to drink?



Recommended Posts

I personally can't stand Isopure rtd's. I bought one of every flavor from luckyvitamin.com. I had high hopes but I can't stand the aftertaste.

But there are some people I've talked to who like the stuff. If you decide to try it, don't buy a case. Just buy one of each flavor and go from there.

I tried three different flavors during my "clear liquids" phase and I didn't like a single one of them. They have a very medicinal taste, to me. Definitely try them before you buy bulk.

I don't like them, and had high hopes for them. I bought 4 flavors to try. The red one was ok but medicine aftertaste. The green apple was awful. The other two flavors are sitting in the back of my fridge untouched, lol!

Here's the good news: after experiencing Isopure drinks, my premier Protein chocolate shakes suddenly taste better .

I tried the coconut one. there is an aftertaste that I probably could have soldiered through in order to get 40g of Protein....but there is a ton of sweetener to compensate giving it a nauseatingly over sweet taste.

Similar to Kel, those Protein shakes suddenly didn't look so bad anymore.

I had a hard time getting those down. I only bought 3 bottles and only drank half a bottle a day as I was transitioning to full liquids when I came home from the hospital. Definitely an odd taste and viscosity - even though technically a 'clear' liquid.< /p>

I tried one (the purple one?) at the suggestion of a friend. I had one sip. I imagine it's what death tastes like. BLECH!

If you can tolerated go for it! It is whey Protein based and considered the gold standard for most physicians. I tried the alpine punch ad the after taste is not so good but tolerable. I found the green tea (lemon flavor) flavor and liked it. I add a little Water to mine...in my mind it helps lol.

I was on Clear Liquids for a week post-op and I lived on the Isopure RTD lemonade flavor. It was less sweet than the blue and red flavors, I added a bit of lemon powder to cut the sweetness even more and blended it with ice, making a sort of slushie. That took care of the weird viscosity. My stomach then and still likes cold drinks, luckily. I didn't mind the Isopure then, not sure I could put it in my mouth now :)

I bake a lot, so I had lemon juice powder from King Arthur Flour in my pantry. True Lemon is a common brand that's easy to find. It really made a big difference, combined with the ice especially.

Has anyone ever tried the Isopure ready to drink stuff? It has 40g of Protein in it, and I really have a hard time with Protein shakes. It's more like a Water drink, and less like a shake. If you've tried it let me know what you thought before I buy it.

Thanks!

It's great taste takes time to get use too. I freeze mine and shake them it is like a slushy.

      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
