Where do you get Isopure and are certain flavors better than others. Also...does it contain soy?

.

Actualy its clear so no dairy!

They come about 6-8 flavors.

I purchased 3 @ GNC to taste them for about $4 a bottle.

I went online & found them about $40 for a case of 12.

Drugstore.com has them the cheepest.

Actually you can get a HUGE powder container for like $45 at GNC before your member discount. There are TONS of flavors and even flavorless. I reccomend!!!

FYI

It's already prepared, no powder. It's recommended for your 1st week of clears.

Not sure if Imentioned drugstore.com has it in cases for cheaper.

Hi Neesh,

I go on week long liquid fasts every so often when my body just feels blah from too many carbs.

My experience...the first day or two is the roughest. After that it gets easier. I drink the low carb Slim Fast shakes in the can and I actually like them. Many times they're my Breakfast of choice even when I'm not dieting. During the liquid fasts, I drink 6 of them a day because I'm limiting my intake to under 1200 calories. Carbs are about 12gm for the day which does wonders for my blood sugar levels.

Headaches are usually nothing more than your body complaining about the change. They usually go away in a day or two and aspirin works well in the meantime.

Watch your activity level. When I do the week long liquid fast, I notch my activity level down a bit. I try to remember to just move a bit slower...no sudden moves.

Stick to it. You will be amazed at how good you actually feel after a few days. Little 'cheats' will delay your body's ability to adapt meaning the headaches, tiredness, etc. will continue for the entire time period.

Hang in there!

.

I do this too! I especially do it when I've hit a plateau (it really kick starts things). Glad to hear someone else does it as well!

You get more bang for your buck if u mix it yourself. 1 Tub is like over a months worth if u are on liquids. 1 case is 24. thats like a weeks worth.

I agree & bought a tub, but for your 1st week it was a God send... Where else are you gonna get 40 grams of protien on a liquid diet?

      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.
