Trouble with your liquids - USE THIS



Recommended Posts

Alright guys. I have seen a lot of posts from people that can't seem to get their powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury or Bari Essentials / Isopure shakes down and I am here to tell you, there is hope. I don't typically endorse products but this has been a saving grace for me with Protein requirements.

Premier Protein - premade shakes. They are sold at Sam's Club or costco in packs of 12 or 18. I think that costco only carries the vanilla and strawberry and cream flavor and Sam's carries the chocolate which is the one I have tried and survive by.

This shake is the consistancy of chocolate milk and there is no foam or froth in it like shakes you make at home out of powders. This allows you to drink it essentially like Water, without it tasting like powdered trash or someone else's slobber going down.

The Nutrition of it is nuts! 160 calories, 30 grams of Protein, 3 grams of fat, 1 gram of sugar. It is milk based protein with some whey. One shake is half of most peoples daily value of protein so if you cant stand the 8oz foamy shakes that powders make, this 11oz alternative is the way to go. They are portable so you could easily take them to work or school or on an outing, and they don't have to be refrigerated until after opening, though I highly suggest having it cold.

Cost - they are about 1.50 for a shake, so for a month supply of just one a day which is what I use it is about 45 dollars. Most of us ate that much in fast food a week prior to surgery and I know for the BariEssentials products, it was 90 dollars for a one week tub to make your own at home. ( I think that was 3 shakes a day so it might have been slightly less but it was still more expensive.)

I hope this helps some of you. Also, I would like to suggest people trading off shake mixes that didn't work out for them with someone else who wants to try something new. Make some posts about what you have and why it didn't work out for you and network with someone else to trade. Just be safe and good to one another.

I've gotten the Unjury tubs of chocolate and chicken and unflavored. Anyone use these that doesn't have a blender or bullet shaker? Does it mix well with a spoon? I hate to get something I will only use for a month or 2.

I use these products, except the unflavored. The chicken Soup stirs up fine in a cup using a spoon. Just make sure the Water temp is not above 140 degrees.

I have a little rubbermaid bottle, nothing fancy (it's the one Unjury sent when I bought a smaple pack), that I use for the shakes when away from my Ninja. It mixes well. I've not tried to mix with just a spoon, sorry. But I would think if it wasn't working, a mason jar would work, then you could give it a few shakes.< /p>

Amazon, thanks. I too received a Rubbermaid container with my sample packs. Just glad I don't have to use a blender. Not that I don't like blenders just never had a use for one.

I drink the Premier shakes also and don't mind how they taste but they make my teeth so fuzzy! I'd recommend keeping a toothbrush on hand if you're taking them to work or traveling with them.

Love the Premier Protein Shakes!!! vanilla tastes like tapioca pudding to me, which I love! You could probably add some sugar free Torani orange Syrup to make it taste like a creamsicle too. I also have the unjury Unflavored powder to add to other stuff, like pudding, Soup, etc., when I need to add more to my day.

I discovered the chocolate Premier shakes at Sam's pre surgery! They have saved my LIFE! The only shake I can get down now... And if they still seem too thick cut them with skim milk. chocolate milk! Best I have found!

I, too, use the Premier shake. I order mine on line & they come in 24 containers to a box. I like the chocolate & strawberry & switch back & forth. I haven't tried the vanilla. They also have a new flavor but I don't remember what it is. I'm on their email list & I got a request for what flavor I would like to see them make next. I chose chocolate/peanut butter.

I also still drink 1 Protein shake a day. If I'm behind in my Protein I will drink 2. I also use the unjury powder in strawberry sorbet. I tried mixing it in Water but couldn't stand it. I mix it with Vanilla, unsweetened almond milk. Yummy!! I think I will go and have some since I haven't had any today. :)

premier Protein is my fav thus far. please visit insurenutrition.com and see if your insurance will pick up the cost of shakes (as they are medically necessary) post surgery. I got my first shipment today. 4 cases. 72 bottles zero cost to me....

      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.
