New idea for protein...and it tastes GOOD!



Recommended Posts

I am 7 days post op and feeling great. I do have an issue with smells really turning me off. I found Isopure to be too stinky so I bought Unjury unflavored powder. 21 g per big scoop. It truly does not have a taste. So far I've used it in soy milk and V-8 juice which my NUT suggested we drink 6-8 oz of daily for its hydration/electrolyte benefits. Best of luck to you!

That V-8 idea is FANTASTIC! So much so, I also got some Clamato, and added the unflavored Protein powder (and my powdered Calcium citrate!!!) to it, and WOW, was that good! 60 calories per 8 ounces, 12 carbs. What a really great change of pace, and it just hits that spot! Thanks for the idea!

I have probably spent a couple hundred in Protein Powder. My stomach now retches at any Protein powder I try. I can maybe get in only one shake a day. I have been living off of popsicles and sorbet just so I don't pass out. I know my surgeon is going to be mad Monday but I'm trying.

How are you with the unflavored Protein Powder? Does it bother you, as well? If so, I'm thinking you may have a serious intolerance of whey, and may have to find an alternate source for Protein. Soy (tofu), pea, and others are out there, maybe do a google search. Have you tried any alternatives yet? How are they on your new tummy? I guess I would call you NUT to see if they have any suggestions for you. All the best to you....

Tried it and I swear it has a flavor. I do not know if it's maybe intolerance to whey or something else.

Yes, even though they don't flavor it (hence the "unflavored" description of the product), there definitely is one! It sure sounds like you have an intolerance to it. Maybe call your NUT for suggestions. There are other types of Protein out there. Let us know what you find out and figure out what is good for you, if you don't mind. Thanks!

      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.
