Has anyone tried..........
I'm a big fan of Nectar, have liked almost all flavors (except lemon iced tea). Isopure is a good RTD, especially as it has a LOT of protein, but tends to give a dry-mouth feeling after drinking it. Of course, this is all just IMO.....

i have the twisted cherry...i mix it with my fresh squeezed lemonade that i make at home...waala..cherry lemonade...i do use some stevia and splenda in my lemonade, i have tried it by itself pre op and it was like cherry koolade...first time i made it tho, i used too much water, so next time was less water...you can make it as tart or as less tart as you want.i have a cottage cheese salad i make that use to use jello, well i used the twisted cherry, and it was ok...i get really constipated drinking the protein drinks so nave not used them in a very long time, i eat lots of meat and cheese now...my surgeon wants us to get our protein from food not so much from protein drinks as soon as we can...we have them in the early post op days...i am very sensitive to any and all sugar acohols, and asparteme give mes major migrines..so i dont do the sugar free stuff, i use regular food, so i have a hard time sometimes. but i am 8 months post op, down 100 pounds, have not had one dumping, not one throw up, and only a couple of minor stuck episodes..one was with raw carrot sticks....so to me no problems at all, since surgery..only a couple of spells of nausea, but i take my motion sickness pills for that, i was off my pain meds when i came home, i only took tylenol..i was off my diabetic medicines while i was still in the hospital, was off my blood pressure meds whithin a week of being home...i have had a couple bouts of low blood sugars while out and about, so i keep trail mix, jerky and protein bar in my purse just for those in case times when i am out and about..
you can go to vitalady and order samples of the nectar flavors you may like..i got to pick the flavors i wanted, if you go the nectar site, they give you a sample pack, but it was flavors that i was not interested in...so get a few samples, i also have the roadside lemonadae, but that was ok, i would rather have my fresh squeezed lemonade than the roadside...so now i have a huge container of roadside lemonade, not too sure what to do with it...
have a great day
