Unjury trial run.... nervous but hopeful!



Recommended Posts

After trying about 30 different Protein powders, I finally gave in and bought the sample pack from unjury. Downed my first chocolate shake about 12 minutes ago now.... I'm extremely lactose intolerant, but so far no tummy objections except some mild burping (fairly normal with anything I eat/drink at this point--thanks, GERD).

Might I have finally found a suitable Protein Shake???? It definitely tastes the best, but at this point, I'm desperate just to find ANYTHING that doesn't upset my preop stomach; I can't imagine what some of these would do post-op!

Don't really have anywhere else to share this excitement lol. I text one of my best friends who knows about my surgery adventure and her reply was merely, "that sounds like a real hoot." -_-

She should be extra enthusiastic when I'm post-op and tell her how excited I am for cottage cheese and pureed egg! LOL

Good to know. I just ordered the unjury sample pack in hopes that this will be my last taste test. Who would have thought that for someone like me, that likes just about everything, finding a Protein supplement would be such a challenge :P

After about an hour an a half, I'm glad to report that it's sitting very well!

And boy, LAG4ahealthierme, do I feel that! I've tried the Isopure drinks, Vega One, Muscle Milk, Trader Joe's soy Protein, Genisoy, Jay Robb (both whey and egg white), a fancy rice Protein from the local health food store, and at least one other whey powder that I can't remember the name of!

Not all of them made me sick, but some were just plain nasty. I tried the chocolate splendor unjury and it tastes kind of like that weak chocolate milk taste if you've ever mixed hot cocoa powder into cold milk. But the best part was NO AFTER TASTE. It was great! I'm going to try the vanilla for Breakfast tomorrow.

Let me know how the vanilla goes. I did a post about this when I was ordering. I have did Unflavored and chicken Soup. I actually put chicken Soup in veggie puree. I like it. Unflavored I've put in banana and applesauce mixes. But I'm now coming to the point where I am just not liking it. And it could be because I did the Lean 25 from GNC, and I'm knowing this isn't going to be something my dr will let me keep! Or so I feel like it. I have first dietician visit next Weds. I also have a milk allergy, not lactose intolerant, which I learned early in life were different things. But both these 2 have stayed down ok for me and I am actually shocked. I loved the Apple Melon Isopure in liquid form.

Has anyone tried to put cinnamon or real vanilla in them? Curious to know if that would be allowed post op.. I'm not there yet (still pre) but it would be good to know. I know its good in regular Protein Drinks now ;)

The vanilla was pretty tasty! Though I think I prefer the chocolate. It was very smooth and lightly flavored with no bad aftertaste. I think unjury is going to end up as my go-to powder, at this point.

My post-op diet plan is one week liquids only, then 3 weeks pureed, where spices are allowed 'as tolerated' during the pureed phase. I'd ask your surgeon or NUT, though! I feel some spices (like cinnamon or ginger) are probably tolerated better than other spices (like pepper) early on.

Of course you can use spice or flavoring vanilla being clear liquid is good. I even bought egg flower Soup from Chinese restaurant strained out solids and put chicken broth flavor in(after cooling a bit). Reminded me of food!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
