I have a container (Rubbermaid from Walmart) that holds 64 oz. I fill it up in the morning and pour it into my cup as I go. I like to add Protidiet gel flavor packets. 60 cal/15 g protein. I get them at my local nutrition store but you can also get them on my dietshopz.com they come in many...

cheyene, I am doing great! I've lost 49 lbs and I feel soooo much better. I couldn't be happier. it doesn't feel like a diet, it was just a lifechange. Would recommend it to anyone! Thanks for asking.

Cheyenne, I am surprised that your Dr. let you eat crackers and potato that early.

That happened to me the first time I had an Isopure drink. It had 40 grams of protein (this was before surgery). I drank it maybe over the course of 15 minutes and then a few hours later - I lost it! Maybe you could try drinking it slower.

I like Premier chocolate the best. Tried Isopure, loved it before surgery, after surgery couldn't drink any!!!!!!!!!! Be careful not to buy too much before surgery, your taste might change. To my water during the day I add Protediet flavors, I buy them on Dietshopz.com they are 60 calories...

It cracks me up, just because you went through the surgical procedure, you will magically be able to walk a mile! My surgeon acts like I HAVE to get into serious exercise after I have the surgery, I will push myself but I know I am limited BECAUSE OF MY WEIGHT! As the weight comes off, i'll...

Hi Ralph, I've almost finished my case of Isopure... just ordered another. I am surprised that it is cheaper to order it online with free shipping than to go to GNC! They charge 5.50 at the membership rate! I ordered a tub of powder, am going to see how that goes... I am really funny with...

I am having the sleeve at Yale New Haven Hospital. (I work at the University so I feel really comfortable with my decision-I'll be right across the street from where I work!) I went for the final nut. counseling and Wed I see the Dr. I am crossing my fingers that I've lost more weight. He is...

EXCELLENT! When is your surgery? how long is your liquid diet?

Lisa, I too have Aetna and yes it is very confusing. I had gone to a nut for almost 6 months (weekly) before I even thought of having surgery. The office's "concierge" told me to quickly get 2 more monthly visits in and that might work. I was denied initially because they said I hadn't gone...

I got exactly the date I wanted. Dec 22, Monday. I'll have 2 weeks to recover with only having to use 3 days sick time and then I have tentatively taken the 3rd week as vacation if I need it - I can't imagine I will. It was a little bit of back and forth with the ins co but the peer to peer...

I don't get it, from the pic you look so skinny.

So far I've had the orange pineapple/something else, and the grape and like them both. I haven't looked in the box to see what other flavors came.

Thankyou Thank you, I definitely drank it too fast (it tasted so good:rolleyes:) I am not sleeved yet, am waiting for insurance to approve, so I am trying out different protein products. I think I'll give my stomach a rest today and tomorrow night have 10 oz. but will sip it over a longer...

40 Grams The bottles that I purchased are 20 oz., it is considered 1 serving and it has 40 grams of protein. I didn't have anything else until 2 hrs later when the reflux continued. I had a few bites of a Hamburger. Eating solid protein like cheese or meat helps with my reflux.
