I just thought i would share this. I have been trying all different kinds of Protein powders getting ready for my surgery. I have heard good things about Unjury so i went on Amazon.com and found it was cheaper there so i bought the vanilla, unflavored, and the chicken broth protein powders. I just tried the vanilla and its very good. I put it in my Vitamix with a little ice and skim milk and blended it. It was smooth and not gritty at all!!!!! I don't like little pieces of anything floating around in my mouth after i drink something. I hope this helps someone that is searching for a Protein Powder.< /span> :unsure:

I use unsweetened almond milk, some unflavored greek yogurt to add more Protein. I get about 34 grams of protein out of this. I use the chocolate Splendor. The chicken Soup is excellent too. 21 more grams of protein!!

I love the choc splendor! Didnt think of the yogurt that's a good idea. My surgery was on the 20th of this month and I'm around the same weight as you starting out, what have you been doing exercise wise?

I like the Unjury Protein powders too. I've had the chicken Soup, vanilla, and chocolate splendor and they were all good but I really like the Unjury strawberry Sorbet. It's really good mixed with crystal light lemonade especially refreshing on hot days! Sometimes I just don't want another milk based Protein Shake and it's become my daily "treat" plus it helps me get all my protein in everyday.

I'm a big fan of Unjury unflavored in everything.

I've been using Unjury for over three years and I have used it with Water (mainly because I don't want the carbs at times), I've also switched to almond milk, less calories and carbs vs skim milk. I also like the original coconut milk. Like all the flavors, except the cheese just didn't care for the taste. I do use the Classic chocolate, but not truly a chocolate drinker. Mix it with my coffee in the morning also use vanilla. If for some reason I want a chocolate treat I'll mix almond milk or water with the chocolate, add a tablespoon of cocoa blend and then add ice and blend again until thick. Do the same with strawberry, sometimes mix yogurt or a half of a banana with it also. Do the same with chocolate & vanilla too. But any fresh fruit would work. Going to try peaches, haven't tried that yet with the vanilla and see if it will taste somewhat like peach ice cream. I do drink the unflavored and mix that with different flavors of Crystal light. Going to have to do a change up once I have the bypass and add unflavored to SF pudding, unsweetned applesauce. Really think this is one, if not the best Protein on the market. I buy it directly from Unjury, usually a case at a time of different flavors.

I'm a big fan of unjury chocolate splendor. I have a shake every morning with skim milk. Sometimes I skip lunch and do another shake. I find this really helps when I hit a stall in my weight lose. I have the cheese flavor, but haven't used much of it. I put it on sans every now and then. I like the unflavored, too. I add that to all sorts of things to get extra Protein.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
