Hello all,

I am about three weeks post-op and I cannot get my Protein in. I've had a rough couple of weeks but I ordered powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury protein. I hate milk and shakes which I'm sure is where my struggle has been. I used almond milk with my protein after surgery but I just couldn't stomach it.

My unflavored Unjury protein should deliver on Wednesday and I'm anxious at the outcome. Any feedback on it? The texture? Can I really mix it with Crystal Light and I won't taste it? Any other suggestions of a brand that I can mix with Crystal Light?? Thanks!

i didn't have any issues with milk and actually liked the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury vanilla and classic chocolate. the chicken Soup flavor one mixed with just plain Water was a savory godsend!

I think with most of the unflavored ones - you might still have a bit of a protein-y taste.

another option is the fruity Syntrax nectar ones - i mixed those with crystal lite lemonade and drank out of a lidded Blender Bottle - that way any smell doesn't really bother you and using an opaque bottle, the cloudy consistency isn't off-putting either. I really liked the ice tea flavor and the cherry flavor mixed with lemonade.

Hello :)

I use the unflavored unjury Protein powder in cream of celery and cream of chicken Soup, as well as Tomato basil soup and I can't even tell that it's been added to the Soups. I also add the Unjury to non fat refried Beans and yogurt, and can't detect the flavor of the Protein Powder at all in those things.

I tried Unjury in my lemonade flavored Crystal Light and I did notice it changed the flavor, and I didn't like it. Maybe if I had added less Protein Powder it would have been tolerable. You'll just have to play with it and see if you can try it in the Crystal Light and other drinks, such as Powerade Zero and Decaf iced tea.

I have been considering also trying the Syntrax Nectar. I actually have it in my shopping cart in the store for Bariatric Pal as we speak lol. The only reason that I haven't ordered is because I don't know what flavor to try lol.

I'm 3 weeks post op myself and I also can't stomach the Protein shakes. I also hate milk. Lol Think it's the thickness mostly for me.

I love unjury chicken Soup. I use it almost on a daily basis. I also like the Proti Diet Soups and nectar Fuzzy Navel Protein supplement. It is great with Crystal Light. I drink it daily too. I used the unflavored in soups mostly. Be careful and not warm things up too much with added protein. It goes into a curd consistency if it's too hot.

I got sick of sweet Protein drinks pretty quickly. The unjury unflavored is the only thing I use now. I like to make shakes using 4oz of raw juice, a cup of ice and a scoop of powder. It's between 8-10 grams of carbs but I only gave one a day.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
