Stacie from St. Louis 3 Posted October 26, 2011 Hello! I'm two weeks post-op and keep reading about people using Unjury brand Protein shakes/products. I'd love to hear from some users about these - are they really that tasty? And what about the Vitamins? Most vitamins are huge and I'm wondering if the Unjury ones are small so as to fit through the band....thanks for your help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't buy till you've tasted things. I made the mistake of buying big containers from them before I had surgery, but discovered after surgery that my taste buds were totally different, and I didn't care for the taste any longer. I ended up tossing out the containers because they got old. The taste pre-op was fine. I liked it. Post-op, not so much. Since you're already post-op, you may find you have a different experience. I tried their vitamins, but found them large and chalky. I ended up getting "Bariatric Advantage" brand vitamins from my surgeon's office. They were more expensive, but easier to get and worked well for me. Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lastchance117 0 Posted October 26, 2011 I love my unjury more than any of the other ones. You can order samples from Unjury to try for yourself. Don't buy till you've tasted things.

bromo 17 Posted October 26, 2011 I don't find Unjury to be any better or worse than many of the others. After what I have is used up I will not be buying any more as it is simply too costly considering the price of other Proteins.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nena.davis64 2 Posted October 27, 2011 I think that Unjury is the best Protein that I have tasted, I've tried many brands and found that drinking them is a task for me they have a very heavy taste, and I have to force myself to drink them, On the other hand I find Unjury very enjoyable I buy the unflavored and add it to my coffee and crystal light and it doesn't change the flavor or texture, it's a little more expensive, but well worth it.

bromo 17 Posted October 27, 2011 I have the unflavored as well, which I add to some things, but I can still smell and taste it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mewizza 3 Posted November 2, 2011 I love it. I tried the sample packets first because most companys don't offer that too you then your stuck with nasty products.. but I love Unjury i still use it 3 months after surgery i have to shakes a day but i make double shakes and freeze them to make them like a frosty and i have them between meals.

RaleighGal 4 Posted November 2, 2011 I ordered the sample packs as well. I started with the chocolate shakes for Breakfast this week...they are yummy!! I have the strawberry sorbet pack in my purse to drink this afternoon mixed with my sugar free lemonaid. I love how you can order sample packs and try them before you order a huge container.

hightower 1 Posted November 2, 2011 I thought they were worth it. I ordered two sample packs and now post op, have ordered the containers. I didn't like the chicken broth post op so just the unflavored, chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. I did the same with other companies and other stores and am sticking with Unjury.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jsea 3 Posted November 2, 2011 I definitely think Unjury is worth the price. You have to be careful with a lot of the Protein Shakes out there on the market as they can be high in calories. I trust everything that is in the Unjury and that alone is worth the price to me 1 txgal1961 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccermonster31 8 Posted November 2, 2011 Hey Stacie, I'm in STL as well, GO CARDS! I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, and like everyone has said, buy the sample packets and try it out first. I like it better then some of the others I've tried, but everyone is different. Hello! I'm two weeks post-op and keep reading about people using Unjury brand Protein shakes/products.

MaggieB 6 Posted November 6, 2011 another vote for Unjury. I tried lots of different brands out there and the only one I actually like is the Unjury brand. I still drink a shake every morning and i was banded June 2010. It is pricey - I order online - about $19 a container. chocolate is my favorite of all the flavors. Vitamins - I just used kids chewables and would take 2/day. I used them during my postop phase - on a 6 week full liquid diet, I no longer use them since I get plenty of nutrients from veggies & such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Z 4,139 Posted November 10, 2011 Let me toss my hat in. I've tried quite a few protein's, Myoplex, Muscle Milk, Synthia-6, unjury, Intek, Isopure. Unjury isn't worth the money. Sure it does have a good taste, but so does other flavors of other brands. Isopure so far has been the best Protein I've had, zero carbs, fresh fruity flavors as well as the milk shake style flavors. It's not overly expensive and it packs the best Protein per scoop I've seen, and all with *ZERO* carbs.. Your best bet, go to a local fitness shop, see if they do samples, taste them all, find one you like, and go with that one. Unjury just seems a bit pricey for how little you actually get from it compared to other products, but, to each their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bromo 17 Posted November 11, 2011 I have to correct myself here. I did repurchase the Unjury unflavored at my doctor's office again. After trying to mix in some others with things I had used the Unjury unflavored in, it just wasn't the same. So I take it all back, I will purchase again.

ohjuly7878 20 Posted November 16, 2011 The unjury shakes are about the same as other brands, in my opinion, except maybe they dissolve better and faster. I sometimes put them in my coffee. But the chicken Soup from Unjury is great, especially in the winter. I think that is worth it.... the protein/calorie ratio is the best found anywhere, and it tastes delicious. You just have to be careful to mix it with warm and not hot Water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
