Getting Prepared for Surgery

Hi I am a newbie & I'm in the process of preparing for my sleeve surgery which will hopefully be in September or October. I'm 57 and have been overweight most of my adult life. I am just tired of it - tired of being fat and not fitting into clothes - tired of being the biggest one in the room - just plain ole tired!!!!! I am very happy to have found this forum - it just answers so many questions. I placed an order today with Unjury products - has anyone used them? and what do you think? Thanks

I love Unjury, especially the chocolate splendor and chicken soup flavors. I also really like the strawberry sorbet.

I think Unjury chocolate splendor is one of the best tasting protein shakes out there.

I am a newbie as well. I'm looking at sept or oct to... It's nice to find someone who is starting their journey around the same time as I. What are unjury products and where can I find them?

Thanks you guys! I bought Unjury right from their website - unjury.com. I don't believe you can buy this at a store. Have you met with the surgeon yet. I don't know if everyones program works the same but mine went like this. First their was an orientation meeting, meet with the doctor, then the psychologist, then the nutritionist, and an exercise person (I forget her title). After I met with the nutritionist she decided I needed to come back a 2nd time 1 month later ` I wasn't happy about that but I did. Then we start a 4 week cycle of meeting once a week for 90 minutes with the doctor, psychologist, etc. . . When this is done I have to meet back with the nutritionist and then she clears you for your meeting with the surgeon. So much of this just seems like repetition but that's the way it works. Does your program work the same?

Thanks for the website I will look into that. My journey has begun like this my Heath insurance requires me to visit with a nutritionist 4 times. I had my first visit before the weight loss seminar. So tht knocked one visit out. After the seminar I met with the surgeon and she gave me a "to do" list. I had to schedule 3 more visits to the nutritionist which aug 6 is my third visit, she scheduled me for an endoscopy, which I had three days ago, I had my psych eval last week as well. I have to keep food logs on my fitness pal for the nutritionist. The longest thing for me are the nutrition visits because they can only be scheduled one month apart so my last will be the beginning of September and I should get my date of surgery

I liked their sample pack....strawberry mixed with crystal light lemonade, unflavored to mix with SF drinks, chocolate, and the chicken flavor for something different......I'm not a big vanilla fan, but it was good, too.

If you want it cold, mix it first with room temperature Water, and put it in the fridge over night or for a few hours......unjury powder clumps if the water is too hot and it's not as easy to mix if the water is ice cold.....

I'm not allowed any unjury the first week after surgery......but the 2nd week and beyond it's fine....haven't ordered a whole tub of anything yet.....I'm pretty happy with the RTD premier Protein drinks (and have a big bunch from costco)

I am curious why you are not allowed any Unjury products the 1st week...

Unjury has my vote. I have tried both chocolates, vanilla, chicken and unflavored. I have tried many Nectar flavors and I still go back to Unjury. I have even added a drop of peppermint extract to the chocolate and different sugar free pudding mixes to the vanilla, just to give a different shake flavor.
