Liquid Diet Advantage or Unjury .. Which did you like?



Recommended Posts

I'm looking to order my post op and pre op liquid diet materials over the weekend and was just curious

which you preferred?

I'm a chocolate lover --- how does it taste? Which brand did you like? did it mix well?

Were you able to do a liquid diet for 2 weeks with no issues -- I'm a tad scared.

I don't have a surgery date, almost done with my pre testings *endo and sleep study this week* ...

I'm hoping within the next month to have the sleeve ...

Anything you can do to help me.. thanks!

I've been trying some pre op. I like Designer whey but I need to find one with more Protein. I just ordered some Body Fortress isolate from Walmart

T-nation Metobolic drive is a great Protein Shake and tastes great. Recommended to me by a NUT.

I like body fortress whey protien. The chocolate ls goog and if you add Torani caramel it tastes like a caremel mocha latte. I get them from walmart.com. they have a special order 3 and they are only $14 each add a couple torani flavors (sugar free) and you get free shipping to your home.

I love Unjury chocolate. I didn't care for the chicken or unflavored. I'm five months post banding and still drink the unjury some mornings for convenience. Order some packets too. Those are great for travel.

I like the Unjury choc. Splendor and vanilla with skim milk and ice in blender. I was banded pn Tuesday and found that I could ly do two sakes with the milk. The third I liked to use either the unjury strawberry sorbet n crystal light lemonade. I also lie the Nectars to mx it up. I aso keep te premier choc and vanilla on hand for on the go! Hope it helps. I found I was not hungry doing it this way!

Thanks all ;)

I think I might order some unjury to have on hand in the house. I'm looking for the best tasting LOL :) I'm sure it's hard, everyone is different, but Unjury seems to be a winner by lots of people.

How does everyone do on the liquid diet - did you find it hard??

I'm very worried about it .... 2 weeks prior and a month after... I get very bored fast.

I just wanted to add, I have really not liked the Unjury flavors I've tried. I've done the strawberry Sorbet and Vanilla, and they both have this OVERPOWERING smell and a weird aftertaste. Syntrax Nectar is so much tastier and it doesn't stink. I don't know about Unjury's unflavored, but Syntrax nectar unflavored is great.

I am a big fan of Unjury chocolate Splendor. I enjoy the taste and it mixes well with fat free milk for extra Protein. When you are able try mixing with PB2 ( Peanut Butter protein powder) or frozen banana. I also add Torani Salted Carmel sugar free Syrup to the mix for a change in taste

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
