Those Isopure drinks
Peggy,
We had the same surgery date! How are you doing? Are you on pureed foods yet? I ordered the samples from unjury.com and I liked the vanilla best mixed with the Crystal Lite Sunrise. It tastes like an Orange Julius. I only had gotten one packet of the vanilla, so I went out and bought the EAS Advantage Edge Whey Protein in Vanilla. It was very close to the Unjury kind.
Isopure drinks I mix with my tea and some cranberry juice and make my own fruit tea protein drink in a big water bottle in the morning. That's a good way to use those drinks and still get in more liquids.

Hi! I have been on pureed since the hospital. All has gone really well...barely feel like I had surgery except for the eating less of course. I went back to work after 1 week and water...about 11-14 glasses daily. Vitamins...good too. I drank alot iof water pre-op and have always done alot of vitamins..I'm sure that helps as I was already used to doing that.
I love the CL Sunrise...hadn't though of using some vanilla. I have been using Fuzzy Navel and Proscore 100 as well as sampling quite a few. I can definitely see where the Isopure drinks need mixed with something. lol
So far I can see I've lost about 25 pounds...I can always walk more too but do daily. My next doc appt. is this Thursday so we'll see.
Thanks for asking! Take care and thanks for the feedback!

Yes, GNC sells them. Go to the refrigerated section and they are sold in bottles. Any health food store should sell them. I've purchased them at Hi-Health and Vitamin Shoppe. You can also get a CASE of bottles (of 1 flavor) at Costco. Get a few flavors to see what kind you like first. I LOVED Isopure until I tried "Grape Frost" or something like that and didn't like it. So you just have to play around. They are around $3.00 per 20oz bottle and it lasts a while since we aren't drinking 20oz at a time right now!
I tried the Grape Frost and didn't like it also. My husband asked what it tasted like and I told him "Grape flavoured fingernails." I will have to try some of the other flavours.
I tried the Isopure shake this morning with the full amount of milk instead of the 1/2c. I had been using. I couldn't stand it! There is something about the consistency that really makes me nauseous.
Ughhh...Everything ISOPURE makes me completely want to hurl. I really can't understand how people can drink them. I'm so glad though that some of you like them and it helps you!
On a side note, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE try the tropicana sugar free fruit drinks as they taste EXACTLY like the sugar filled ones. I kept checking the label to make sure it was sugar free. They have punch lemonade and some others.
