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.

      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.
