Hey all, I just advanced to full liquids today and I'm trying to drink the protein shakes I did preop. Unfortunately, every time I try, I am overcome with waves of nausea (this is my 3rd attempt this evening). I've seen a lot of you post about unjury. What's the best flavor to try? Is unjury easier to digest? Has anyone else had issues with their protein shakes postop? Thanks again.

I thought unjury was pretty good, although it was best when mixed with skim milk. I also added it to sugar free pudding and it was much easier on the stomach. (My Dr. And Nutritionist consider pudding a liquid so it was fair game on my liquid phase.)

You can get single serves packages if you want to try it before jumping in with a big container.

On a different note: have you tried Syntrax nectar Fuzzy Navel, or any of their other fruit flavors? It's thin, tastes more like juice, and I found it much better tolerated by my stomach than any of the traditional flavors of other Protein powders. (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry stuff)

I was the opposite - found Unjury more pleasant myself. Either of the chocolate ones are great, I can't tell them apart. The vanilla is terrific too. I'm not a huge fan of the unflavored, because it isn't. It has a flavor, just not a sweetened intention one like vanilla, etc. You can order a sample set from them too. I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk most of the time to mix with it, and most morning use chocolate Unjury with almond milk and a bit of SF peppermint Torani flavoring and add my two shots of espresso to it - peppermint mocha rocks! Vanilla I love on it's own in either kind of milk, but i also add orange flavoring or caramel - and I love it hot at night with some SF almond. If you're having trouble getting it down, make it thinner with a bit less powder maybe. Good luck!

Where do you find the Syntax?

I use Unjury everyday. I use the chocolate splendor and I mix it with water and a tablespoon of Genepro and get 50 plus grams of protein in 8 ounces, I am 5 months post op and at goal now. (Just two days ago). It worked for me to get my protein in.

I liked the unjury ok. I used the vanilla and chocolate splendor. I still have it in my house and have reordered it, but not for me for my husband and daughter. They really like it and use it to make smoothies for Breakfast or lunch.

Where do you find the Syntax?

Amazon is where I buy it.

I have used Unjury for the last 18 months. I use both Chocolate Splendor and Vanilla. They are great mixed with ice and skim milk. I blend them with Torani sugar free syrups: Hazelnut, English Toffee, Salted Caramel. I also blend with Chike Iced Coffee Protein Powder. I purchase direct from their website at Unjury.com

Thanks guys for the suggestions! I really appreciate it!!!

I used unjury my entire pre-op period. I didn't particularly care for the chocolate Slendor, it was just too chocolatey for me. I did however really like the Vanilla, Regular Chocolate, Unflavored, and the chicken Soup. The strawberry was just so-so to me.

However, post-op I find it very difficult to stomach any of the Unjury products. Not sure why the big change, but I just don't care for them anymore.

The two chocolate protein powders are different. The Original Chocolate Classic contains Aspartame, which is a problem for some people. Chocolate Splendor uses Sucralose, which is an artificial sweetener not broken down by the body.
