Is Unjury Worth the Cost?



Recommended Posts

I think that was the best part of all is that I don't have that sickening aftertaste. I ordered a big order and have used it up. I liked it all the flavors and it is not just sitting unused in the cupboard, as a few things I've got talked into by super advertising. (Ha!) However, I've got my own personal mixture I've concocted at home with whey, powdered non-fat dried milk, French vanilla, powdered dark cacao, splenda, ice cubes and cold coffee or tea. Sometimes I add extracts I have in my baking supplies, such as maple, anise, strawberry, almond, coconut or etc. or I can add fruit such as banana, peach or berries. Use your imagination.

:rolleyes:

Here's the question? With shipping unjury cost less than $2 a serving. How much do you pay for a soda or drink when you go out. Would you rather have coke or pepsi or store brand? Hershey's or store brand? Me personally would rather have something that taste great than something thats tolerable. I'm over 2 years out, I've been broke and bought cheaper. The only other I can tolerate is slim fast high Protein.

In case you missed it- I love unjury! LOL

I haven't tried the shakes but I pretty much lived on the chicken broth after surgery, it tastes good and great source of Protein without the fat, sugar and carbs !

Unjury is the only brand of Protein that I have used. I ordered a sample pack during preop and it didn't have any nasty taste so I've stuck with it. In almost a year postop I still have at least one serving of unjury a day for protien. Luckily my surgeons office sells it so I don't have to order it. And I pay for it with flexible spending money. It's considered an eligible medical expense.

I was suffering from hair loss and the doctor told me I needed to up my Protein. I bought the individual packets from Unury. It's just easier for me than scooping it out of a large container. The two chocolates they offer and the vanilla are OK, the strawberry is horribly sweet. I also take Biotin again for Hair loss. My hair was terribly thin at about 7 months post op and now, six months later, my hair is absolutely better. I keep it pretty short these days....it just looks better that way. Alot of hair has grown back in and it's very hard for me to notice the real thin spots where my scalp was showing through.

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
