I just tried the Unjury shake and i dont like it. It reminds me of the shakes i used when i did the Optifast diet. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Can anyone recommend a coupe of others i could try? Sara

Bummer.... Unjury is my favorite all the others were AWEFUL to me! I've learned that everyone can suggest a brand and flavor, but it comes down to everyone's taste buds ;) order lots of samples and try them all!!! My fav right now is Nectar's Double stuff cookie yummmmmo

I like the muscle milk and GNC Lean shakes.. both are good and don't leave that after taste.. Muscle milk is like chocolate milk and Lean shake is good too, both have 20 gms protein... low sugar..

There are several good ones available at Vitamin Shoppe:

For just a Protein Shake, Myofusion is probably one of the best tasting with lots of great flavor options and a solid profile. For more of a Meal Replacement I like LeanPro8, very good profile with healthy fats. vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry are all very good. I have heard good things about Syntrax Nectars but I have never tried them. Good thing about Vitamin Shoppe, if you do not like it bring it back and they will let you exchange it.

Dont be afraid of fats with Protein Shakes. They are usually high quality, omega3/6 and/or medium-chained glycerides. You need these especially since many essential Vitamins are fat solubile, meaning they are better absorbed when consumed with fats. You do not want sugar, but that is easy to avoid because most have very low sugar content.

I'm not crazy about any of the shakes so I add flavor to them.

vanilla shake: add a squirt of orange mio for a orange creamcycle taste. Or strawberry mio is good on it as well.

I add frozen berries and a little Trop50 orange juice to the unflavored mixes.

There's a lot you can do to add flavor.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
