Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I ordered the sample pack from Unjury. I mixed the vanilla and the chocolate with skim milk and PB2. Could tolerate both! But looking into purchasing big tubs, Isopure seems to have some great reviews too. Both are pricey, but that is not that big of an issue. Which is better tasting? And better for you?

Do you have a Vitamin Shoppe or GNC near you? They will accept returns even if the item is opened, in case you do not like it. I do not know what the policy is at GNC but Vitamin Shoppe will give store credit. I was not impressed with Unjury for the cost. I have never tried any Isopure flavors but the unflavored is VILE and I ordered it online so I am out that money. I think any time I try something new it will be from Vitamin Shoppe from now on just in case I want to return it.

I would go with Unjury hands down, I love their unflavored because it really is unflavored and I have added to Soups and sugar free puddings, also I had a flavor I didn't like and no questions asked on their return policy - I sent it back and they gave me my money back...great customer service!!!

Isopure makes me a little nauseous so I prefer to go with a Protein Powder. Unjury is good, but so is Syntrax and other brands. Protein powders are just one of those post op necessities you have to spend money on at least for 6 weeks while you are healing. I am strange and love daily Protein Shakes, even at 13 months.

I also love Protein Shakes and work them into my diet accordingly. I have a premier after my morning workout BCAA/creatine drink, then a bottles Isopure (live the peach mango and grape flavora) diluted 1:1 with Water for a 40 ounce plus fluids. Then another before bed so my body has something to work off of while I sleep. I like the funky tasting ones though, they don't bother me so I go for the fortress brand at Walmart. Inexpensive comparably and has great reviews on quality and taste.

      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.
