I'm almost 5 months out and only use unjury. In the beginning, I used the chicken broth, mixed with warm, not hot Water and more Water than it calls for. I loved it and it was comforting for me. I used the unflavored only in milk-based products like yogurt and pudding. I didn't use the chocolate until about a month ago because it was too sweet for me. I got my Protein mostly from cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and soft meats. Then a month ago I started experimenting with the chocolate and vanilla powders.

I posted earlier today in recipe sharing a shake with chocolate splendor powder, espresso powder, and chocolate almond unsweetened milk. Add a few ice cubes and blend and it's like a mocha milk shake. So yummy!

Well, here I am day 9 out post op and I have found that the whey Protein doesn't seem to like me much now... I haven't found any way to make it that doesn't run right through me.. I tried it will the almond milk and gagged, Tried it with soy milk, gagged... and Water? Yuck. Bariatric Advantage makes a Liquid Protein at 15 and 18 mg one ounce servings that I think I am going to try..

Hi. I have been drinking the chocolate splendor with skim milk and coffee and ice almost every morning since my surgery. I think it tastes great and I feel great! I HIGHLY recommend mixing it with your coffee and milk for a fabulous mocha-choca-latta-ya-ya!!!!!!!! :-)

I am 4 days post op so i Have not had any Protein Shakes since surgery. However, I tried several beforehand. I got some sample packs from Unjury. The chicken would not even dissolve in my broth. Tried strawberry sorbet & threw it down the drain. Tried mixing unflavored with sugar free koolade & lemonade & threw those down the drain also. May be unflavored but in a drink it drastically changed the taste & it was not pleasant. I did best with Orange Cream from Bariatric Advantage but I always mixed it with 12-16oz of Water. May try adding unflavored Unjury to soft foods when I get to that point.

Was your broth hot? Unjury won't mix properly over 130deg. The unflavored IMO is best mixed into milk based foods or drinks or creamy Soups.

I do agree on the strawberry, way too sweet for me. Overall I really like Unjury though.

I used my sample of vanilla my NUT gave me just yesterday. I made a 10oz drink, mixed it with vanilla ff Greek yogurt, some frozen mangos, a pack of stevia, and half a scoop of unjury. It. Was. Vile.

So medicinal and chalky. And I love vanilla :( back to the drawing board!

Everything tastes different to me since my surgery (10/11). I bought a flavor of Crystal Lite that I never had before, so I didn't know what to expect- they have a ton of new flavors. Using a shake cup (has a metal mixing ball-mine is from GNC), mix scoop of unflavored unjury Protein with one cup ice Water and a couple of ice cubes. Then I pour this mixture which is a little foamy into a large water bottle filled 1/2 way with ice. Add more Water to fill bottle. 32 oz. water/21 grams protein- This drink gets me from Breakfast to lunch just fine. My nut. wants me to have 3 meals a day and only water/liquids in between, so this works for me. (I'm trying Marguerita flavor Crystal Lite today!) Good luck!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
