Blender/bulley should help. I Have yet to try the unflavored.

Neither, really. At least not in what I've put it in.

You can add the unflavored to oatmeal, grits, mashed potatoes when you are on the soft foods phase. I can eat real food but I still use Unjury daily to get my Protein in. It does make whatever you add it to thinner, so you have to adjust your liquids at the beginning to make things the correct consistency. I have to laugh when I read that people say it is sweet, the Unjury are much less sweet than most Proteins.< /p>

Can the unflavored be used in the 'clear liquids' stage of pre and post op? I was looking into the Isopure, but it is so pricey! I also have ordered several 'sample' packs of different powders. I think the toughest thing for me will be not getting 'bored' about the protien shakes, so I am looking up as many varieties and 'recipes' as I can!

Under forums>food&nutrition>protien drinks/powders>places to get liquid protien samples. Here is a direct link:

http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/1267-places-to-get-liquid-protein-samples/

Some of the links were old, so I googled some, but I found Vitalady to have a TON! I think I ordered at least 60 samples! I plan to make a chart and rate all of them. If I have to drink Protein, I want to be sure I am drinking the best tasting Protein I can drink!

I only add about 1/2 scoop of the unflavored to my flavored waters and such (32 oz bottle). Too much does change the flavor some. ;)

So I tried the unjury chocolate Splendora I think its called (they have two a chocolate and this one) yesterday with 8oz of 1% fat free milk and used the imulssion(sp?) Mixer/blender to mix it up and I have to say I was very surprised at how good it really was, it tastes just like a low fat chocolate milk and didnt have a bad smell or a weird taste or after taste either! Very happy with the chocolate!

Ok, so I forgot to pack milk the other day. I went to Starbucks and ordered a short FF steamed milk with sugar free vanilla flavoring. I mixed it with Unjury chocolate splendor. It was so good, I almost felt guilty. The pre op diet shouldn't be this easy! Also, I mixed the strawberry sorbet with Fage fat free plain yogurt. It was really really good as well. I do t usually like chocolate or strawberry Protein Shakes, so I was surprised by these. Glad I bought the sample pack. Also, I tried the steamed milk with Syntrax Nectar choc truffle and that was really good too. Hope I still like these after.

Totally agree! I use 1/2 scoop unflavored (10.5 gs. Protein) with about 3 cups (24 oz. Ice Water and ice cubes) with crystal lite. Sometimes it gets lumpy but I keep ice and a shaker ball in my cup snd shake before each sip. 2 of these between meals and I get had my Water and Protein in just fine (and I'm still on full liquids until tomorrow-yaaaaa!) each day. Pre-op, works too, but I preferred my shakes Pre-op made with a lot if ice, skim milk or FF fro yo and some fruit. Post-op shakes are pretty boring-no fruit or milk (until full liquids!) or Fro yo and they can't be too thick, so less ice---boring!

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?

      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.
