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 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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
