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 am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
