Well, im in my beginning phase. So I've only had the bariatric Protein Drinks they give... i am highly picky which causes me to not get the Protein i need so i need to find a shake i like. Never heard of unjury... where do you get that & is it pricey?

Unjury.com

It seems a little expensive, but from what I gather a lot of the folks on here like it. High in Protein as well. They also have unflavored protein you can add to anything.

I add the unijury unflavored to any Soup or pudding I'm eating. 10 grams of Protein for 1/2 a scoop and 21 for whole scoop. Its about $23 a can. U van also add Decaf sugar free instant coffee like Suiss Mocha to a vanilla protein shake! Van also make sf pudding with shake instead od water....I like the banana cream!

Unjury offers a sample pack to try. I ordered it as well as a sample pack from nectar. The unjury chocolate is pretty tasty. Not sure if you are a Peanut Butter fan,but there is this awesome stuff called PB2. It is like a peanut butter powder. By adding it to my shakes it takes away that sweetness they all have. I mixed a scoop of unjury with 8 ounces of skim milk and 2 tbsp of the PB2. A total of 34 grams of protein! I drink it in two settings because my doc said we cannot absorb more than 25 grams of Protein at once.

Once i was cleared for full liquids, I would take Amy's organic Soups, blend them in the ninja, thin with milk or Water, strain, heat and add unflavored protien to the mix. Don't overheat, the protien doesn't like that.

I then dropped the thinning, then eventually the straining, then moved on to softer foods and puree.

This created wonderful variety and flavor to what could be a very bland diet at the start.

      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.
