THANK you everyone for your well wishes and good thoughts! Had my surgery on Wednesday. Everything went wonderfully!! Suffered a few bouts of nausea but have overcome! Getting in my fluids no problem. The isopure is a different story! Any suggestions for getting it in would be great!

Thanks Again!

The only thing that worked for me was taking tiny sips over and over and over. I didn't mind the raspberry at all other than the texture (thickish/sticky) but absolutely could not swallow the apple/melon one. I hear the fruit punch one is also decent.

Congrats! Glad you are doing so well. I have heard Isopure referred to as "Isopuke." Could you use a different protein drink?

I'm on clear liquids so I'm pretty limited. My doctor said it was one of those if I can great if not concentrate on staying hydrated! So that's what I'm doing. 3 days to full liquids and more protein choices!

Thanks!

On clear liquids I could have sf popsicles and sf jello. I could also have creamed soup strained. All protein shakes.

Glad everything went well!

I only lasted three days with Isopure. You can cu****er, or apple juice, or Crystal Light into it. It goes down best ice cold. I did two of three sips, followed by a sip of water or juice. Good luck!
