Does Unjury & Iced Tea Work?



Recommended Posts

Desperately trying to find a way to get more Protein before i go bald and waste away.

the only way I have been able to get my liquid is slightly sweetened cold iced tea sipped all day.

Cant tolerate fruit flavored waters, etc. since surgery.

Has anyone tried unflavored Unjury (or similar) with iced tea?

I have wasted so much money on all types of Protein drinks, powders, shakes, etc. etc. im looking for input before I spend any more.

Personally, I can't tolerate Unjury or Isopure unflavored in anything but dairy based liquids. I've read that people can tolerate the unflavored Proteins in Clear Liquids but I think it just tastes horrid (think I just poured iced tea in my milk glass). Are you still in liquids? I found that greek yogurt and making Protein pudding help me get my protein in... I probably eat more dairy than I ever did before because I don't do well with shakes either - but when all else fails I do force down a shake.< /p>

One thing I did, was I looked under the protien shake forum and topics, I found some links where people listed places to purchase 'samples' I purchased about 100 different samples from various places. These are single serving protien powders. I have a little notebook, each time I drink a shake right now, it is a sample. I write down the name os it, then make notes, chalky, tasty etc and rate from 1-10 when I get done with all the samples I will look back decide what I liked best then buy a full size package of the protiens I liked best. I think it's a good way to change it up, and I'm not wasting 40-60 dollars at a time on tubs and tubs of protien I may or may not like. I also am a HUGE iced tea fan, but was told no regular tea after surgery due to the caffine, so I have switched to herbal teas, green, and flavored teas like blueberry and mixed berry, etc. I am not sure if this info helps, but this is what I've been doing. I also personally found warm to hot liquids go down easier for me, I used to be an ise fanatic, but since surgery, cold drinks don't go down for me. I have Unjury unflavored and Iso pure unflavored protien powders also, I've not tried them in tea, but they dissolve well in broths I've found. I do not like the aftertaste they give though, it tastes like egg white to me, but others say they have no taste of it, everyone is different! I hope you find a happy medium soon, and maybe my info helps! Good luck!!

I have used the Unjury unflavored and the chocolate in iced coffee, so I do not think it will be much different. Even the unflavored has a little taste at first, though. I just ignore it. The unjury chicken Soup is good, and nectar is also a good brand I think. I would ditto the post above-try the samples. good luck!

thank you everyone. a friend had unflavored and i put it in iced tea before reading the posts -- yeah, milk in iced tea. did not work.

i've gotten alot of samples and single serve packs along with spending way too much $$ on packages. I've just decided that shakes are not something i can drink anymore. I cant even stand the texture of milk.

loosing so much hair it's driving me crazy. Ugh.

Have you tried the Isopure Fruit drinks? Some people hate them but I like them. One 20 oz bottle gets 40 grams of Protein. I mix it with lemon Water too. Also just tried Protein gem Jello. 130 calories and 25 grams of protein. It's not bad t all!

      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!!
