It's okay. Honestly I would probably buy a cheaper kind in store or at a Vitamin Shoppe. Most supplement stores even have a liberal return policy that if you didn't like the product, they will refund. Jay Robb is also good.

Unjury tastes great and so does Jay Robb. He is more expensive but good. A lot of the stores and online you can order sample packets to try them. Start there. I mix with milk or crystal light. Milk keeps me satisfied longer because of the extra calories. Good Luck :)

I LOVE unjury. I have several things I do- vanilla Unjury with 1 c Trop 50 orange juice and some ice, sometimes add some frozen strawberries. Yum! Or vanilla Unjury, 1 Tbsp s/f pistachio pudding mix and 1 c milk, delish! Or just the chocolate splendor with 1 c skim milk and a little ice to make it extra cold.

I also think their chicken broth is great, reminds me of Lipton chicken Soup which is my fave- only thing is it can't get too hot or the Protein clumps, so it's lukewarm chicken Soup, but tastes yummy!!

I have the unflavored but haven't used it. Unjury sells a sample pack with two packet each of the chocolate splendor, vanilla, strawberry, chicken broth and unflavored, plus a little rubbermaid bottle and a thermometer. It was a great way to try it. I had gotten some Protein from Wal-Mart and it was not good.

I also use an immersion blender (stick blender) to mix my shakes up every morning, as I hate it if it's clumpy. Really quick and mixes them well.

Good luck!

I've gotten jay robb in a supplement store, but you can order online too.

I personally do not like unflavored Protein mixes because they still smell/taste weird to me. I actually didn't like the Unjury chicken Soup because it smelled awful. I got samples of Unjury products and premier nutrition ready to drink shakes from my dietician.

Finding a powder you like is pretty important. Tastes vary so much that It's good to try and find sample packs before commiting.

I'm on my pre op liquid diet. I've been bought Unjury and Body Fortress from Wal Mart. So far, I like the Unjury ok. It doesn't have a nasty after taste, so that's great. I looked up on Pinterest some Protein Shake recipes. I found some good ones. I suggest you do the same.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
