Thoughts on Protein Powders (Premier, Unjury, etc.)



Recommended Posts

I'm having trouble finding a good Protein Powder. I tried Bariatric Fusion and found it gross (especially the chicken soup). Premier Protein is just way too sweet for me. The Caramel is revolting, and the banana and Cream is drinkable but soooo sweet. Everyone says Unjury is the best. If I don't like Bariatric fusion or Premier Protein will I like Unjury? Am I doomed to find all Protein Shakes undrinkable? Everyone keeps saying how great Premier Protein caramel is and I really find it disgusting.

I just ordered the Unjury sample pack. I wanted to be able to try all the different types without spending a fortune!

Never seen clear. Is it unflavored, or fruit flavored? Do you also find Premier Protein milk-based to be gross?

I use GENEPRO Medical Grade Protein powder. I add a scoop of it to certain foods when I need to get my protein in. There is no taste to it. I mix it first in a small amount of liquid to get the clumps out then I mix it in whatever I put it in.

I liked premiere choc Protein Shakes before surgery and still do. I have one a day. I use Genepro protein powder as a fill in.

I bought my Genepro Medical Grade protein powder on Amazon. It delivered the same day - I was surprised. It comes in a small bag with 30 servings.

I hope that helps.

I hated Bariatric fusion meal replacements. This is different?

Yes, it's a completely different product. Mixes very nicely with everything. What didn't you like about Bariatric fusion?

Flavor was very artificial, way too sweet for me. And the consistency was kind of slimy.

I believe we got the right balance when it comes to sweetness.

Protein One isn't slimy - at all.

Try unflavored and mix it into something you really enjoy drinking.

I can't tolerate any of them! They all give me the steadies with the bathroom, which is not good. So I am very short on Protein right now. 😱

I was having a hard time handling Protein and just got the Syntrax Nectar variety pack. You get 17 individual packs, one of each of the flavors they offer. I am loving the fruit flavors (all I have tried so far). They go down smoothly and arent too thick or sweet.

I had trouble getting protein in before but this is working for me. Hope you find what works for you!

Now that I’ve had the surgery I️ can’t tolerate Carmel premier protein by itself. I️ pour half in coffee and try to drink the rest.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
