Unjury protein powder questions?



Recommended Posts

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!

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. :)

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

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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
