Unjury Protein Powder? anyone??



Recommended Posts

I got an email from my surgeons office stating there was a new product from the Unjury Protein powders! It is chicken Soup flavored.... I thought this might be an interesting mix... I was just curious if anyone has tried any of their powders and if they are good!?

unjury.com makes and sells a number of products, and they generally taste pretty good. I've got them all. The chicken Soup one is okay, but at the time I tried to use it, I was on the three-week all-liquid portion of my post-op diet. I was really tired of only having liquids, so I think my taste buds were a bit tired. I liked the chicken soup before surgery, but after surgery, not so much. Factor in that it can't be heated above 130 degrees F or it clumps up, and you're left with a luke warm chicken soup mix. So for that reason alone, I had to give it an "okay," not a 'good" or "really good." I like my Soups hot, not luke warm. But make note that it didn't taste BAD, it just wasn't warm enough to suit me. If you want a Protein drink with something other than chocolate or vanilla or fruit flavors, it's a nice variation.

(P.S. if anyone is in my area and wants the Unjury Protein powders i have, they're free for the taking. Nothing wrong with them, I'm just not using them anymore. No sense in wasting them.)

The chicken Soup one isn't new. But I used it when I was on Clear Liquids. About the only thing that gave me my Protein at that stage. It's decent, I wouldn't eat it now that I'm not on clear liquids, but it was the only "clear" protein I was able to tolerate. I'm having a little trouble getting in my calories for the day since I've been kickboxing, so my plan is to drink a Protein Shake after kickboxing and see how that goes. I drink the chocolate splendor and vanilla with sucrolose from Unjury, I really like those

I too used it for my pre-op phase. I have some left for when I go through fills. Dave_NW tells it all. It isn't that bad, but isn't my favorite either. Other people that have had the band talk about how they mix it in mashed potatoes when on mushies and there is some kind of dip you can make with it too. I think that is the biggest thing I've learned....get creative and it isn't as bad as one would think it could be.

Good luck!!:)

I have tried most of the Unjury powders. This one is my least favorite, but like Dave said, it's not bad. I think it has a very salty taste (I am not a big salt eater, even before surgery) to me. My favorite is the vanilla one, but the chocolate and strawberry ones are good too. The unflavored one is great, I added it to all kinds of things when I needed a Protein boost. Now that I'm on "normal" foods, I don't have a hard time getting my protein in.

Definitely not a favorite for me. I use Unjury (the chocolate Splendor and Vanilla) and I really like them. I bought the chicken broth flavor around the time I had my surgery and I couldn't eat it. It was too salty. The company actually let me exchange it for one of the flavors I like. I thought it would be a nice alternative to the chocolate/vanilla, but it didn't work for me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
