I also tried Isopure and didn't like it much, the only thing that I've found that I really like is nectar Sweets chocolate Truffle made by Syntrax. It taste just like eating candy, if you like chocolate I'd recommend this one. I'm still experimenting with different drinks and this is the only one I think I can actually live with after I get my band, lol.

I do not care much for the Isopure juices in the bottle...they leave a strange film in my mouth, but I do like the ISOPURE powder...strawberry and vanilla. I go to smoothie Factory almost every morning and get one. They have a Low-Carb powder (10 carbs) and a No-Carb powder.

As far as on-the-go Protein drinks, I have not found any I like and trust me, I have run the full gamut...I did Atkins before and tried every single drink out there. I can stomach some of the low-carb Slim Fasts and some of the Atkins flavors. I prefer to make my own or go to smoothie Factory.

A lot of people on the forum call it Isopuke! LOL. I can't say I love them, but I don't mind them. I still use them if I need to get extra Protein in. I can drink 1/2 bottle and get 20 gms of Protein with only 80 calories. Hard to beat that much protein for so few calories.

I prefer it very cold and i like the apple melon, Alpine punch and the pnieapple/orange/banana.

If I had an Atkins shake instead, I'd only get 15 gms protein and it would be twice the calories. I'd rather eat my calories!

I have the Isopure chocolate powder. I haven't had it in a while since I have been banded about 10 weeks, but I used to mix it with sugar free Carnation Instant Breakfast chocolate, with the 8oz of milk, and 3 ice cubes. It came out like a thick chocolate shake. Very yummy.

I got the Designer Whey brand in Natural to mix with the other flavors of Instant Breakfast and with the smoothie kits I got.

The Isopure drinks are definitely not my favorite, but I can usually choke it down for the Protein. I think part of my problem is, that's what I had post op, so now when I taste it I remember how miserable I was that first night. LOL

The Stacker 2 Protein Water (Pink Lemonade is the one I tried) is a little tastier, but it's only 20g protein.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
