Having trouble finding Isopure Protein Water (40gm protein in 20oz H20) and Calcium Citrate...

Any ideas where I may find this? How about Stacker 2 Protein Water (20gms per oz) How about Calcium citrate + vit D in a chewable form with NO SUGAR? Target has a Citrical brand but it has 5gms carbs and sugar as the main ingredient. Anyone know of a chocolate one WITHOUT sugar? Thanks for your help!! Ken

Ken, I don't do the Isopure..but maybe GNC...? I haven't been able to find sf citrical but have had no issues with the regular ones. Sherri

Ken- Same as Sherri said, I was told just to use the normal Citrical chewables. Kroger had them on sale when I was there a few days ago for $5.55 a box, BTW. Do you think you are not going to be able to do the protein milk that they suggest? GOOD LUCK THURSDAY!!! I cannot remember if you are going to be at St. V's, but I am thinking you may have said Clarian? My RNY is Wednesday @ St. V's. Today is my last normal day of eating. Hard to believe it is here already! We are all going to Roadhouse tonight for my goodbye meal. I'll see you here later in the week and maybe we can compare notes? Belle

Thanks for the replies so far Sherri and Belle, Bell, Good luck on Wednesday!! I know you'll do great and I'll see you on the other side and we'll definitely compare notes. As far as the milk goes, I am definitely going to try the double strength skim milk that my RD recommends, but I am going to be a protein over acheiver because I don't want to lose ANY muscle or hair, so that's why I'm looking for the protein water. I was a little worried about the sugar in the citrical chewables, but if everyone is doing ok with those then I'll definitely give them a try. Enjoy your two days of clear liquids, I am right behind you!! Ken

Ken you don't want to over do the protein. It can be hard on your kidneys. Start taking biotin now if you aren't already. That should help with the hair loss.

Ken~ Do you have a Vitamin Shop in your area? They sell the Isopure Protein water. Jaimee

Ken- Back from Roadhouse.... yummmmmmmmy! I am with you on trying to minimize the hair loss, but I was told not to go over 100 grams per day (because of your kidneys, like mentioned). I am just now getting my hair back from my last pregnancy... twins. I thought I was going bald about 4 months post-partum! But, I definitely don't want to trade hair for organ failure, so definitely be careful! I have already started the biotin. My dietician recommended 300 mcg a day. Well, liquids start tomorrow! Fingers crossed for us both! Belle

Checked in at the one at Keystone at the crossing and they didn't have just the plain water, but thanks for the advice and I'll keep looking! Congrats on your big loss by the way!

Hi Ken, Just a word of caution- DON"T buy alot of items ( like protien) before you have surgery. I found that I couldn't tolerate alot of them afterwards, so a big waste of $$$. I tried Stacker 2 water- like crazy! I do know that GNC does have the Isopure, and if you don't like it you can return it for a refund- even if you opened it and didn't like it. Did you get the things for the protien shake that they have you make? It will work real real well, and you do get the required amt. You"ll do fine, and we are here for you. HAIR LOSS- Some do, and some don't!! I took Biotin and really didn't have that much problem at all. Alittle when I was 6 mo. out, but nothing drastic. Just don't overdue the protien- it can have adverse effects and we don't want that! I wish you & Isabelle well on your weight loss journey- welcome to being "Hoosier Losers"!! Sending good luck and healthy recovery prayers, ((hugs)) Ellen

Thanks to all *****sponded! I appreciate your advice. Thanks for the kind words, Ellen!
