some things I found out.

1. Did you know that you can dump from your protein drink? Yep, you can. I have big time. I did some research and found out that it does happen to some of us. I can't tolerate the creamy type of whey concentrate. I just got some whey isolate called Isopure from GNC. I got the peach mango. It is pretty good. I drink it really cold and spread it way out. So far so good with this. 2. You can deplete your electolytes if you get in all your water, eat very little and sweat in this heat. I had to take salt tablets for a few days. 3. Everything sweet tastes very sweet now. I don't have any desire for sweets. 4. Cheese and beans really taste good after all the liquids I ate (drank). 5. The most I can eat at a meal is 2 oz. I never would have believed that it would be hard to eat 350 Cal in a day. Life is good. Diana

Well it is good that the Isopure is working out. I believe I read on a website that they carry the Isopure in most commisaries (sp). I don't know that for sure ...I haven't looked for it yet myself. It's good that you aren't craving sweets; but really, really bad that you have experienced dumping with some of the other protein drinks. I have also read that you can get protein powder(unflavored) and add it to things to give you additional protein. Have you tried any of these? How much protein are you suppose to try and get in daily?

I will be checking out the commissary and PX when we go over. I hope they do and it is cheaper than GNC. I will check out the GNC store on base to see if they are cheaper. Probably not. I paid $44.00 and it is 44 servings for me. That is really only $1.00 per day, but I am cheap. I have heard of the unflavored protein and would like to try it. Adding a small amount to meals could help up the protein intake without gaging on it. It probably is good to spread it out over the day also. I am suppose to get 60-70 gms per day. But, I won't be able to make that for a while. I did really well yesterday and got 47 gms. That includes sipping on my protein drink between meals. It will take a while. I tried to eat 3 oz at a meal, it was too much. I am eating 2 oz. Really weird, I'm stuffed. It's great really. Diana

Diana, The commissary here at Tyndall in Florida carries Isopure but only three flavors. It is only 2.19 a bottle at the commissary they are 20 OZ bottles. Leann

Thanks. I hope Mt home AFB has it. Hill AFB has a huge commisary now, I'll bet they will carry it. We are there quite a bit. It isn't overly sweet and you can really taste the mango and peach in it. I will get some other flavors. You got to have variety. Diana
