I just tried the Unjury shake and i dont like it. It reminds me of the shakes i used when i did the Optifast diet. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Can anyone recommend a coupe of others i could try? Sara

Bummer.... Unjury is my favorite all the others were AWEFUL to me! I've learned that everyone can suggest a brand and flavor, but it comes down to everyone's taste buds ;) order lots of samples and try them all!!! My fav right now is Nectar's Double stuff cookie yummmmmo

There are several good ones available at Vitamin Shoppe:

For just a Protein Shake, Myofusion is probably one of the best tasting with lots of great flavor options and a solid profile. For more of a Meal Replacement I like LeanPro8, very good profile with healthy fats. vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry are all very good. I have heard good things about Syntrax Nectars but I have never tried them. Good thing about Vitamin Shoppe, if you do not like it bring it back and they will let you exchange it.

Dont be afraid of fats with Protein Shakes. They are usually high quality, omega3/6 and/or medium-chained glycerides. You need these especially since many essential Vitamins are fat solubile, meaning they are better absorbed when consumed with fats. You do not want sugar, but that is easy to avoid because most have very low sugar content.

I'm not crazy about any of the shakes so I add flavor to them.

vanilla shake: add a squirt of orange mio for a orange creamcycle taste. Or strawberry mio is good on it as well.

I add frozen berries and a little Trop50 orange juice to the unflavored mixes.

There's a lot you can do to add flavor.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
