Hey guys im getting pretty excited and anxious about my upcoming sleeve procedure on November 5th!!!!

My question is, What unflavored Protein powders are the best that you have tried and or use thus far?!

I have tried the Unjury and put it in homemade Jello and it was delicious! However I did notice it was there, but it doesn't bother me right now. I'm not sure if the taste will bother me AFTER the surgery, so that's why I was wondering if there was another brand of unflavored Protein should give a try!

Don't just view comment too! :D

I stuck with Unjury. I found it mixes well into warm things (so long as they aren't too hot) and I barely notice it. If you haven't tried their chicken Soup one, do it. It's my favorite - I couldn't believe it. I still resort to it if I'm in need of something a little lighter on my stomach!

If you like Unjury, I would stick with it. I use Isopure, but with all the unflavored Protein powders it's likely to be the same, it's a very subtle or slight taste but should interfere with whatever you have mixed it with.

@@CJ Porter Yes I have tried the chicken noodle Soup one and o loved it the first time I made it I messed it up lol I put it in hot Water which I understand is a no no cause it curdled I wasn't sure if maybe there was a powder that didn't curdle at all @@BLERDgirl I think Im gonna see if I can get a sample of the Isopure just to try it out

THANKS FOR YOUR OUTLOOK GUYS ITS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED !!!

I am a little over a week post op and the Unjury Protein is absolutely sickening to me now. Each flavor tastes so sweet that is makes me nauseated immediately. Even the premier shakes make me sick just to smell them. I think it's because I'm on the full liquid phase so everything I'm allowed is sweet (pudding, yogurt, Jello, etc.) I'm just so tired of sweet things! Yuck!

This is when unflavored protein really comes in handy. Because it doesn't have any added sweeteners you can add it to a broth or a nonchunky Soup and give your palate a bit of a break from all the sweetness. The only thing that got me through the all liquids phase was having broth or soup for dinner. I needed a savory break from all that sweet.

@Southern Sleeve oh no!! Ive seen quite a bit of people went or are going through that as well with the sweets they loved the products pre surgery but then after t couldn't stand them...... BUT they said as time passed that there taste buds normalized and they could have them again......

hi... I too cannot stand the Protein powder as Protein shakes. If I need a Protein shake - I stick to the premixed ones like Pure Protein or Premier Protein.

Now that I am 6 months out, I am finding fun in cooking again. So I use unflavored protein in many of my baked goods - like pancakes and muffins (and they are carb free too). For cooking, I find the unflavored GNC and Quest chocolate and vanilla bake really good. I found that unflavored Syntrax nectar is VERY BAD!!!! It changes the composition of everything and my poor pumpkin pancakes were a complete fail.

One more note - I recently found this mix. Can you saw awesome!!!!

I've been experimenting with baked things and unflavored Protein Powder. On The Chew they made this recipe with a waffle that had falafel type seasonings using mashed chickpeas and a little flour. I plan to do half gluten free and half Protein Powder. I've always been an experimenter in the kitchen so I'm enjoying making new concoctions.

I was initially a big fan of genpro, but they switched formulations and it doesn't dissolve like it used to. I'm into my first bottle of PipingRock.com. It dissolves well, no taste, and very inexpensive.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
