Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hi Greg, Honestly, I never drank one isopure or any of the protein drinks after surgery!! I did just fine on apple, juice gatorade, ice tea & hot tea, and broth. The "soup base" powdered bullion is really good. Now, after my fills, I have a Whey protein powder/skim milk shake. One in the late morning & maybe in the evening too, not everyday, but most days. My restriction is very significant after fills and I get little protein from food for several weeks. So, I figure that is a great way to get some protein in during that time. My daughter drank Isopure for about 3 days, the 40gram bottles and it was awful she said. She drank it cause she was getting light-headed alot and it seemed to help her. So if you don't have it it won't kill you...I'm still kick'n :-) Congrats on the 20lbs!!! that's an awful lot in a week!! Dana -------------- Original message -------------- From: "gaperrylex" <allen@...> I've been drinking a couple of bottles of the Isopure clear liquid protein every day since I have been back home from the surgery, but honestly, I don't like the stuff. It's not that it tastes bad, it just leaves me feeling kind of blech after I drink half a bottle. It feels kind of like being full, only that bad kind of full when something nasty is just sitting in the bottom of your stomach and you know it's going to give you problems. The thing is, it never really gives me any problems. I figure I need the stuff just to get enough protein and nutrition, but if it weren't for that, I would probably just drink a little apple juice and drink some chicken broth.Greg P.ps;That pre-made chicken broth from the store is so bland that I take a bouillion cube and add it to the stuff. It doubles the calories from 17 to 34, but that's nothing with as little calories as I am getting.pps;I guess I am accidentally lo sing a little weight though, 20 pounds in the first 7 days until I leveled of 2 days ago. Should be fine now that I'm leveled off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I was told by my nutritionist today that Isopure will help to get protein in, but not to solely drink it because it contains little else as far as nutrition goes. I haven't tasted it ... does it come in different flavors?

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hi Greg Isopure tastes nasty! That's why it just sits there. I still have 2 bottles of it in my closet from over a year ago! My daughter and I tried everything to disguise the taste of manure (sorry...) but to no avail!. I didn't drink any clear protein for the first 2 weeks of clear liquid and am still here to tell about it! When you get to full liquids you have a lot better choice. I really like the Atkins Advantage drinks especialyy the real chocolaty one. Good luck to you, Greg, and you are almost over the hump and ready for better days ahead.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I've just started trying protein drinks and what not. I've found an amazing one. It's called Syntrax Nectar. It comes in like 7 different flavors. The fuzzy navel and strawberry kiwi are really good. I also got lemon tea and caribbean cooler but i havent tried them yet. They taste just like fruit juice. They aren't chalky and they dont have a bad after taste. So if you are looking to get in the protein, give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 The protein shakes, apple juice, sugar free popsicles, and water are about all I can stomach right now. Chicken broth I just cant even seem to get down and jello I can take one or two bites of. It seems to be something with my sense of smell. If I can smell it at all I dont want it? Dont know what that is about. I am drinking the chocolate Isopure and while they are not GREAT they are not bad either. I put mine in the freezer for awhile before I drink them. I am going to try to find some popsicle makers today to make some apple juice popsicles. > > I've been drinking a couple of bottles of the Isopure clear liquid > protein every day since I have been back home from the surgery, but > honestly, I don't like the stuff.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Hello All: I just wanted to share how I was able to drink the ugly Isopure.. I would water it down and add lot's of crushed ice until I finished the bottle.. This was the only way I was able to drink it. I hope this helps any of you. --- Penny Manville <pmanvill@...> wrote: > Hi Greg > Isopure tastes nasty! That's why it just sits > there.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 That's what I use too! I have been using skim milk for years & years It never made me thin that's for sure! So whatever milk, same difference only a few calories. I love my milkshakes!!
