Does Unjury & Iced Tea Work?



Recommended Posts

Desperately trying to find a way to get more Protein before i go bald and waste away.

the only way I have been able to get my liquid is slightly sweetened cold iced tea sipped all day.

Cant tolerate fruit flavored waters, etc. since surgery.

Has anyone tried unflavored Unjury (or similar) with iced tea?

I have wasted so much money on all types of Protein drinks, powders, shakes, etc. etc. im looking for input before I spend any more.

Personally, I can't tolerate Unjury or Isopure unflavored in anything but dairy based liquids. I've read that people can tolerate the unflavored Proteins in Clear Liquids but I think it just tastes horrid (think I just poured iced tea in my milk glass). Are you still in liquids? I found that greek yogurt and making Protein pudding help me get my protein in... I probably eat more dairy than I ever did before because I don't do well with shakes either - but when all else fails I do force down a shake.< /p>

One thing I did, was I looked under the protien shake forum and topics, I found some links where people listed places to purchase 'samples' I purchased about 100 different samples from various places. These are single serving protien powders. I have a little notebook, each time I drink a shake right now, it is a sample. I write down the name os it, then make notes, chalky, tasty etc and rate from 1-10 when I get done with all the samples I will look back decide what I liked best then buy a full size package of the protiens I liked best. I think it's a good way to change it up, and I'm not wasting 40-60 dollars at a time on tubs and tubs of protien I may or may not like. I also am a HUGE iced tea fan, but was told no regular tea after surgery due to the caffine, so I have switched to herbal teas, green, and flavored teas like blueberry and mixed berry, etc. I am not sure if this info helps, but this is what I've been doing. I also personally found warm to hot liquids go down easier for me, I used to be an ise fanatic, but since surgery, cold drinks don't go down for me. I have Unjury unflavored and Iso pure unflavored protien powders also, I've not tried them in tea, but they dissolve well in broths I've found. I do not like the aftertaste they give though, it tastes like egg white to me, but others say they have no taste of it, everyone is different! I hope you find a happy medium soon, and maybe my info helps! Good luck!!

I have used the Unjury unflavored and the chocolate in iced coffee, so I do not think it will be much different. Even the unflavored has a little taste at first, though. I just ignore it. The unjury chicken Soup is good, and nectar is also a good brand I think. I would ditto the post above-try the samples. good luck!

thank you everyone. a friend had unflavored and i put it in iced tea before reading the posts -- yeah, milk in iced tea. did not work.

i've gotten alot of samples and single serve packs along with spending way too much $$ on packages. I've just decided that shakes are not something i can drink anymore. I cant even stand the texture of milk.

loosing so much hair it's driving me crazy. Ugh.

Have you tried the Isopure Fruit drinks? Some people hate them but I like them. One 20 oz bottle gets 40 grams of Protein. I mix it with lemon Water too. Also just tried Protein gem Jello. 130 calories and 25 grams of protein. It's not bad t all!

        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
