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.

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!

      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.
