So I got some samples of Protein Powder and today I decided to try the unflavored Unjury in a yogurt. I want to know which kinds i like prior to surgery because I don't have the money to spend on things I am not going to use.

I was quite surprised by the amount of powder I had to incorporate in this small cup of yogurt. I didn't think it would all mix in. Should I be mixing and entire serving into 6oz of yogurt?

The taste wasn't too bad, it did alter the taste of my yogurt slightly but not so much that it completely sucked. I used a Lemon Stonyfield, perhaps I should have used strawberry or something else since the lemon is pretty subtle.

I just want to make sure I am doing it right. Thanks for any info.

I have another brand of unflavored, and I mix it in a lot of stuff including coffee, mash potatoes and Soup. I just mix it with Water or milk first, then stir it in when the other thing is not tooo hot or the whey curdles. I can't taste it much at all. It worked great in the latte, and the best so far is in Thai Ice tea (I use soy milk) The mash potatoes taste good, but the texture is a little different, who cares, its mash potatoes with a blast of protein! Just experiment, sometimes I use half a scoop, sometimes the whole thing.

      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.
