I ordered the sample kit of powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury just since I'm close to getting a date and I need to get on the ball and have my Protein in place! Today I decided to try out a shake and see how it is. The strawberry sorbet shake wasn't bad at all. I made it with 8 oz of Water, so it was thin - but I figured since I'm going to have them they way post op I better try it out :) I thought it tasted like PEZ. My husband tried a sip and said it was sweet like strawberry quick Syrup would taste. It wasn't revolting, that's the main take away, for 21g of protein, it's palatable. I could totally do this three times a day to get my protein in.

I'm less scared now that I know this. Let's do this. We all got here different ways, but we have come to or are coming to the same conclusions and this journey is awesome. Preop hasn't been easy, and I know nothing that is ever worth it IS easy. That's how I know this is worth it.

Next up to try: Grape frost Isopure (which incidentally my GNC let me buy ONE bottle rather than a case of the 40g protein variety!)

My surgery was Nov 12, 2012 and now I put unjury chocolate Protein in my coffee, with either almond milk or 1% milk to cool it down. I add frozen strawberries, milk, and frozen banana to the Unjury strawberry shake instead of ice cubes. I like to have that at night. I also like the Unjury chicken Soup, and the cheddar cheese powder. They don't have the cheese year round though so I bought it ahead. The unflavored can be added to things like sugar free puddings, yogurt, etc. Just watch the temperature so it doesn't glob up.

I am compelled to join and say the unjury choc splendor is literally the BEST Protein powder I have ever tried (and we've been through at least 10 others). Just ordered 2 more today.

It tastes like chocolate milk, and is the only powder I've found that dissolves well. And no chalky Protein taste. Literally none!

I wish someone would have told me this before I wasted hundreds on other powders!

I tried the chocolate as well - tried it with some Silk Soymilk. I was scared since I have heard Protein Shakes are chalky and clumpy and all the horrible stories...well the chocolate splendor Unjury was amazing. I'll definitely be ordering this in a larger quantity! My husband even wants to have it and he isn't a WLS patient - he just likes the flavor! :)

      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.
