Do you use this Protein?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone use this Protein? If so, do you know why does it say "Do not use for weight loss"???

It has 23 grams of Protein and 5 grams of carbs. Some containers have 35grams of protein and 5 grams of carbs.....

Likely because it is not a "complete" Meal Replacement (like Optifast is). We mostly supplement with Protein, it's not our entire 'Magilla'. Please check with other sources for the quality of the protein. AND I AM NO EXPERT. I do use Unjury, mostly because my NUT recommended it!

I think many on here like that drink.

I have 3 bottles of the chocolate version still in my fridge. Bought it at 2 weeks out and tried one. Could not finish it. It was way too thick for me and I did shake the heck out of it.

I use Unjury now and really like it but only have maybe 1 shake a week now.

I've used it. It's not my favorite, but it's OK. I agree with Arts137 - it's not a complete replacement, that's why we shouldn't use it for weight loss. As a supplement, it's OK. Just watch the carbs, as with anything.

      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.
