The Only Protein Drink I Can Tolerate



Recommended Posts

I can't tolerate any kind of protien drinks. I checked the Unjury web site and also checked reviews from another blog. Unjury has an overwhelming amount of positive feedback. I am going to go in that direction and cross my fingers!

I like the unflavored. 1 scoop has 21g of protien. I mix it with crystal light strawberry. I also put it in my Jello cups. It does change the color of the Jello and crystal light. And with trail and error you can adjust The sweetness. But it's great to add a little more Protein during the day. The chocolate flavored shake is the only one a like. Mixed with skim milk its not bad. I really enjoy the chicken broth. And they have a few recipes for that as well that I haven't tried. Order the sample pack first, that helped me a lot. hope this helps.

Has anyone tried the Believe Protein Drinks? I know some have caffeine which some of us don't do but they have a creme brûlée flavor that does not... I am thinking about ordering from Bariatric Eating website. My support group leader who is post RNY was drinking a Mocha latte one and she said it was good but I haven't seen anyone on here comment on them ???

Mermaid Girl - I put about 2 oz Water and about 1/2 cup ice. Then I add 2 scoops powder, 1/2 banana, and about 4 frozen strawberries, then blend.

Another suggestion that I've not tried, but I plan to, is a recipe for a Bone Broth Soup. Look it up on Google and there's a bunch of recipes. Im planning to make that post op and add unflavored Protein. Apparently, it has a ton of Vitamins and minerals from the bones, then extra protein added...my recipe calls for beef or chicken bone (s) celery, onions, spices, and cook it on a very low simmer for hours, or crock pot it...you can strain out all the solids (a lot of the veggies will liquefy) and voila! An excellent and VERY nutritious broth. Beef knuckle is supposed to have the most nutrients. Any butcher should be able to hook it up...im going to ask the meat guy at my farmers market...

      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.
