Unflavored Protein - Is Unjury The Only One?



Recommended Posts

I think I need to purchase an unflavored Protein Powder for after surgery - does anyone know if I can get this at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe? Just curious....

Unjury isn't at those places. But they do have other unflavored Protein in larger containers. I use Vitamin Shoppe and get the Isopure Unflavored protein. I also like the Vitamin Shoppe Brand of chocolate protein they have. This is the only place I can find protein wafer bars too which I use like a candy bar treat once in a blue moon.

No problem. The ready made juice flavored drinks they sell aren't bad either. Those work to break up the Protein flavors. The Vitamin Shoppe near me also gives out samples if you aren't sure and they happen to have some. In McKinney there is a good shop too, it's a local one. Health Collection I think. I'll find out the name for sure and let you know.

GNC also has one, their own brand, in a smaller bag rather than a huge tub. I have one, but it's partly Protein concentrate instead of all protein isolate. I've read that isolate is supposed to be better, but I've had no problems with the GNC. I do have some Unjury on order, should be here Wednesday.

Isopure is probably one of the more pricey brands. I think it's about 30, but they may have other brands. At the time I went to find it they were sold out of all other brands so I've just stuck with it because I like it.

Wait - I though Isopure was like a gatorade - is Isopure another powder? ? just more flavors than chocolate and vanilla? ?

My grocery store has a bulk section with bins of flour, granola, Snacks, etc and they have a bulk unflavored Protein. Might be something to look for too.

Holy smokes I wish Isopure tasted like G2, I could actually drink it! I haven't tried the powder yet but the liquid flavors take work for me to drink.

I saw the Unflavored Syntrax at Vitamin Shoppe in the KC area. Have never tried it. I have a tub of the Unjury sitting on my counter but I have not tried it yet.

Frisco Texas? I will be driving by there on my way to Eagle Pass. Unfortunately we don't have a Vitamin Shoppe in central Arkansas. :-(

IsoPure does make pre-made Fruit drinks but they don't taste anything like Gatorade. They taste the best to me when they are ice cold, the minute they are warm I can't drink them. I use unflavored powder. I've tried unjury and liked it, I just don't like the size of the tub and the price. I did go by the Vitamin Shop at Park and the Tollway in Plano and they do have the Syntrax brand that O.T.R. mentioned. I know it was less than IsoPure but I forgot the price :( Sorry. I was after some wafer bars lol and they didn't have the kind I like. Unfortunately they are very popular and go quickly and I was one day too late.

I've never tried it so I wouldn't consider this a recommendation. But there it is.

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
