Unjury Protein Powder? anyone??



Recommended Posts

I got an email from my surgeons office stating there was a new product from the Unjury Protein powders! It is chicken Soup flavored.... I thought this might be an interesting mix... I was just curious if anyone has tried any of their powders and if they are good!?

unjury.com makes and sells a number of products, and they generally taste pretty good. I've got them all. The chicken Soup one is okay, but at the time I tried to use it, I was on the three-week all-liquid portion of my post-op diet. I was really tired of only having liquids, so I think my taste buds were a bit tired. I liked the chicken soup before surgery, but after surgery, not so much. Factor in that it can't be heated above 130 degrees F or it clumps up, and you're left with a luke warm chicken soup mix. So for that reason alone, I had to give it an "okay," not a 'good" or "really good." I like my Soups hot, not luke warm. But make note that it didn't taste BAD, it just wasn't warm enough to suit me. If you want a Protein drink with something other than chocolate or vanilla or fruit flavors, it's a nice variation.

(P.S. if anyone is in my area and wants the Unjury Protein powders i have, they're free for the taking. Nothing wrong with them, I'm just not using them anymore. No sense in wasting them.)

The chicken Soup one isn't new. But I used it when I was on Clear Liquids. About the only thing that gave me my Protein at that stage. It's decent, I wouldn't eat it now that I'm not on clear liquids, but it was the only "clear" protein I was able to tolerate. I'm having a little trouble getting in my calories for the day since I've been kickboxing, so my plan is to drink a Protein Shake after kickboxing and see how that goes. I drink the chocolate splendor and vanilla with sucrolose from Unjury, I really like those

I too used it for my pre-op phase. I have some left for when I go through fills. Dave_NW tells it all. It isn't that bad, but isn't my favorite either. Other people that have had the band talk about how they mix it in mashed potatoes when on mushies and there is some kind of dip you can make with it too. I think that is the biggest thing I've learned....get creative and it isn't as bad as one would think it could be.

Good luck!!:)

I have tried most of the Unjury powders. This one is my least favorite, but like Dave said, it's not bad. I think it has a very salty taste (I am not a big salt eater, even before surgery) to me. My favorite is the vanilla one, but the chocolate and strawberry ones are good too. The unflavored one is great, I added it to all kinds of things when I needed a Protein boost. Now that I'm on "normal" foods, I don't have a hard time getting my protein in.

Definitely not a favorite for me. I use Unjury (the chocolate Splendor and Vanilla) and I really like them. I bought the chicken broth flavor around the time I had my surgery and I couldn't eat it. It was too salty. The company actually let me exchange it for one of the flavors I like. I thought it would be a nice alternative to the chocolate/vanilla, but it didn't work for me.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
