I personally didn't like the UNJURY! I've been drinking Slimfast strawberries & cream.

I think you are on the right track.. A sweet cold Protein Shake, warm Unjury chicken Soup, g2 for the needed carbs, and one more... A Protein sports drink like designer whey blitz or isopure... You might also consider just a few muscle milks for something thats milk free. All these can be in small numbers in case your tastes change or your new tummy does not like them. Variety/various options - is key.

sassieme85 I was told by the NUT that the Slimfast had too little amount of Protein and since you can pysically only get so much in you want to take advantage of the most protein in everytime you consume. And also the more protein the better the weight loss numbers are..

I pretty much drank EAS carb control Dutch chocolate drinks from Wal-Mart and Crystal Light lemonade. I wasn't able to eat anything for the 1st 4 or 5 days and then moved onto chicken broth and then Cream of chicken and Cream of Mushroom Soup.< /p>

By the 3rd week I could handle (very finely chopped) chicken and chopped boiled eggs. I didn't need a lot of variety, so when I found something I could handle, I stuck with it.

Don't buy too many of any one sugar free thing. I found out the hard way that my stomach does not like things with sucralose and sugar alcohols, but aspartame is okay.

Did anyone use the unjury unflavored Protein powder in something like Crystal Light or Power aid 0?

If so how did that work out?

I tried Unjury unflavored in 12oz of Water with crystal light...someone said it was good...I tried it last night and it was horrible. I felt nauseous. I had to take a phenergan and suck on a peppermint. I might not try that again , no time soon.

Today I mixed GNC wheybolic in 12 oz of Water and I'm drinking on it all day , to give me my 60gm of Protein for the day. I am drinking it all day because our bodies can only absorb so much protein at time.

      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
