Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

First, I gotta say, I LOVE the taste of the powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury products...

However, I notice that I'm having "lactose intolerance symptoms" (won't be more specific than that) about 15 minutes after drinking them... I never have an issue with eating any dairy product, this seems to be the only lactose product causing symptoms...

Anyone else have a similar experience? Are they temporary that go away after your body gets used to it???

Please don't take this as a dig to Unjury, I love them and will continue to use them even though I have the symptoms... Just looking to see if anyone else had a similar issue...

It might be something else bothering you . It is kind of strange you have never had issues with dairy before now and then all the sudden with Unjury. Have you tried any other products? There are so many options and lots of dairy free as well. Best of Luck!

Try mixing the Unjury with Almond milk and see if that makes a difference.

You could also try doing a half dose, like half of a shake in the morning, and the other half mid-afternoon or so. I have the digestive problems you mention with most whey Protein isolate drinks (except Isopure) no matter what I mix it in, but in the past, a suggestion to me was to half my intake, did not work for me, but it may for you.

I am known to be lactose intolerant and I can use Unjury with no symptoms in Almond Milk. Higher in Calcium, low in calories and carbs. Tastes great!

I love Unjury. I notice that I have a little bit of an "issue" when I drink them. I have the opposite effect when I drink eas advantage.

Good luck with the problem.

I'm not lactose intolerant but I had an issue with the eas advantEDGE carb control drinks last week. I slowed down in drinking them and I'm okay now. I think it's just your body adjusting to such a high concentrated amount of protein... At least that's what I read online. Try the other suggestions, hopefully something works!!

My inside come to screaching halt on all Protein Shakes. I wasn't told I could eat oranges on my pre-op, but when I got sick right after Christmas I started eating 2 cuties a day and that helped A LOT. Things started moving so to speak. :P

If I can keep eating fruit I will be ok. If not I will have to take something to make things "run" smooth. I am going to ask them tomorrow before I leave the hospital to see what they suggest. I know the pain meds will slow things down alot too. I had the same problem a couple weeks after my gall bladder surgery.

I think it may just be the body getting used to that much Protein after not having it for so long. Not sure

Thanks too BTW. I am very excited and nervous about tomorrow :D:o:blink:

      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.
