I was using those baby bel lights to supplement my Protein... my surgeon wants me to do another shake... I too do one in the morning... and boy do I hate it. He said the try the unjury chicken noodle soup..so that's gonna be my next purchase. I have seen pretty good reviews.

It has noodles in it? I can't have any bread/pasta/rice

I drink a pure Protein Shake, bananna and chocolate are great, then have an Isopure drink later that day. Those two together make up 75 g of Protein. Then whatever protein I eat I hit 100 without a problem. Yes they are expensive, but I get them by the case twice a month. I paid more for fast food per month pre surgery.

How far post op is everyone who is eating the Protein bars?

I just called my nutritionist and I'm not allowed Protein Bars until 1 year post-op

I personally find Protein bars way too sweet

My suregon required me to get min. 64 grams of Protein daily. You can get lots of protein in by eating cottage cheese (which I love), yogurt (plain & low or non fat). I can eat nuts (7 monnths post op) but I watch and only have a very tiny hand full as a snack. You can have a Protein Shake as a afternoon snack too. I make my protein shake with minimal liquid, either low fat milk or Water and two scoops of Protein Powder which in my brand its 50 grams of protein so I get my major jolt of proetin from my shake which I have as a mid morning snack or as a brekfast.

Their staff are wonderful and easy to work with. The respond to emails quickly. I have my Vitamins and Protein thru them and have it set up for auto ship. If I get ahead or behind on my stock I just email them and make adjustments to my next delivery. No pushy sales staff.

I have a small container of each of the Unjury that I carry in my lunch bag. I will mix it with coffee or crystal light (make sure the coffee or hot Water cools to 109' like they say or it turns to grit) .

Take a water bottle add the crystal light and unflavored Unjury and shake. 20 grams of Protein.< /p>

Is it really "unflavored?" Does it have some flavor? I tried some of the nectar mixes and they taste like pure Protein with a little bit of flavor =P

The Unjury is unflavored, but it does have a specific taste. I have found that it works best for me in savory foods. It improves the flavor of Soups and other savory foods. I tried it in crystal light and the taste was very prominent and unappealing. I really liked the sample of Unjury chicken broth I ate. I would recommend it! Just make absolutely sure to check the Water temp with a thermometer before you add the protein!

        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.

      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
