I desperately need to increase my Protein levels, but I have not yet found a shake I can actually drink they all make me gag and I can only get in one or two swallows. Everyone keeps talking about the unflavored Unjury powder I can add to my food and get in more protein that way.

I went to the unjury site and dang it is expensive. It would cost me 20$ (without shipping0 every week just to get in the extra 40g of protein a dayI am trying to increase my protein by. That is pretty steep. Does anyone know where I can buy it for cheaper or know of as good a product as the unflavored Protein Powder that I can buy?

I need to do this soon cause I can only seem to get in 45 to 50 g of protein a day on a good day through just my food. So HELP!!

I will resort to the extra money if I have to, but would rather not.

Thanks

Protein is out to kill me I swear!!! :)

I just bought and tried Isopure. one serving has 50g of protien and doesn't taste that bad. I think much better than the Bariatric Advantage. Unjury is good also but maybe give isopure a shot if you haven't already.

I have a bag of Isopure that im not using. I know people don't like to buy things from people that's been open, but I wasn't able to drink it and it's just sitting in my cabinet. I think it's the aspartame.

I had this same problem but I decided to experiment. I bought some different flavors of sugar free pudding mix. I use vanilla Protein powder mix mainly as my base then I add two tbs spoons of the sugar free pudding mix to the powder with some ice, shake and enjoy. I also use chocolate, you can mix and match flavors it really makes a big difference. Hope this helps

Ok I bought the unflavored Unjury Protein powder. I read where people put it in with their crystal light. I tried that this morning with orange crystal light and yuck! It still had a bad taste & the smell gets me. Also, I hate the foam after you shake it, that's yucky too.

I make a smoothie with whey Protein powder, frozen berries, banana, yogurt milk and ice. It is wonderful and has 32 grams of protein. I have it for dinner sometimes. There is also special k protein plus and milk for b'fast. I like pure Protein Shakes but cannot do protein powders except in the smoothie.

        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
