Is Unjury Worth the Cost?



Recommended Posts

Hello! I'm two weeks post-op and keep reading about people using Unjury brand Protein shakes/products. I'd love to hear from some users about these - are they really that tasty? And what about the Vitamins? Most vitamins are huge and I'm wondering if the Unjury ones are small so as to fit through the band....thanks for your help!

You can order samples from Unjury to try for yourself. Don't buy till you've tasted things. I made the mistake of buying big containers from them before I had surgery, but discovered after surgery that my taste buds were totally different, and I didn't care for the taste any longer. I ended up tossing out the containers because they got old. The taste pre-op was fine. I liked it. Post-op, not so much. Since you're already post-op, you may find you have a different experience.

I tried their vitamins, but found them large and chalky. I ended up getting "Bariatric Advantage" brand vitamins from my surgeon's office. They were more expensive, but easier to get and worked well for me.

I love my unjury more than any of the other ones.

I don't find Unjury to be any better or worse than many of the others. After what I have is used up I will not be buying any more as it is simply too costly considering the price of other Proteins.< /p>

I think that Unjury is the best Protein that I have tasted, I've tried many brands and found that drinking them is a task for me they have a very heavy taste, and I have to force myself to drink them, On the other hand I find Unjury very enjoyable I buy the unflavored and add it to my coffee and crystal light and it doesn't change the flavor or texture, it's a little more expensive, but well worth it.

I have the unflavored as well, which I add to some things, but I can still smell and taste it.

I love it. I tried the sample packets first because most companys don't offer that too you then your stuck with nasty products.. but I love Unjury i still use it 3 months after surgery i have to shakes a day but i make double shakes and freeze them to make them like a frosty and i have them between meals.

I ordered the sample packs as well. I started with the chocolate shakes for Breakfast this week...they are yummy!! I have the strawberry sorbet pack in my purse to drink this afternoon mixed with my sugar free lemonaid. I love how you can order sample packs and try them before you order a huge container.

I thought they were worth it. I ordered two sample packs and now post op, have ordered the containers. I didn't like the chicken broth post op so just the unflavored, chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. I did the same with other companies and other stores and am sticking with Unjury.< /p>

I definitely think Unjury is worth the price. You have to be careful with a lot of the Protein Shakes out there on the market as they can be high in calories. I trust everything that is in the Unjury and that alone is worth the price to me :D

Hey Stacie,

I'm in STL as well, GO CARDS! I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, and like everyone has said, buy the sample packets and try it out first. I like it better then some of the others I've tried, but everyone is different.

another vote for Unjury. I tried lots of different brands out there and the only one I actually like is the Unjury brand. I still drink a shake every morning and i was banded June 2010. It is pricey - I order online - about $19 a container. chocolate is my favorite of all the flavors. Vitamins - I just used kids chewables and would take 2/day. I used them during my postop phase - on a 6 week full liquid diet, I no longer use them since I get plenty of nutrients from veggies & such.

Let me toss my hat in. I've tried quite a few protein's, Myoplex, Muscle Milk, Synthia-6, unjury, Intek, Isopure.

Unjury isn't worth the money. Sure it does have a good taste, but so does other flavors of other brands. Isopure so far has been the best Protein I've had, zero carbs, fresh fruity flavors as well as the milk shake style flavors. It's not overly expensive and it packs the best Protein per scoop I've seen, and all with *ZERO* carbs..

Your best bet, go to a local fitness shop, see if they do samples, taste them all, find one you like, and go with that one. Unjury just seems a bit pricey for how little you actually get from it compared to other products, but, to each their own.

I have to correct myself here. I did repurchase the Unjury unflavored at my doctor's office again. After trying to mix in some others with things I had used the Unjury unflavored in, it just wasn't the same. So I take it all back, I will purchase again. :blush:

The unjury shakes are about the same as other brands, in my opinion, except maybe they dissolve better and faster. I sometimes put them in my coffee.

But the chicken Soup from Unjury is great, especially in the winter. I think that is worth it.... the protein/calorie ratio is the best found anywhere, and it tastes delicious. You just have to be careful to mix it with warm and not hot Water.

      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!!
