Hey guys im getting pretty excited and anxious about my upcoming sleeve procedure on November 5th!!!!

My question is, What unflavored Protein powders are the best that you have tried and or use thus far?!

I have tried the Unjury and put it in homemade Jello and it was delicious! However I did notice it was there, but it doesn't bother me right now. I'm not sure if the taste will bother me AFTER the surgery, so that's why I was wondering if there was another brand of unflavored Protein should give a try!

Don't just view comment too! :D

I stuck with Unjury. I found it mixes well into warm things (so long as they aren't too hot) and I barely notice it. If you haven't tried their chicken Soup one, do it. It's my favorite - I couldn't believe it. I still resort to it if I'm in need of something a little lighter on my stomach!

If you like Unjury, I would stick with it. I use Isopure, but with all the unflavored Protein powders it's likely to be the same, it's a very subtle or slight taste but should interfere with whatever you have mixed it with.

@@CJ Porter Yes I have tried the chicken noodle Soup one and o loved it the first time I made it I messed it up lol I put it in hot Water which I understand is a no no cause it curdled I wasn't sure if maybe there was a powder that didn't curdle at all @@BLERDgirl I think Im gonna see if I can get a sample of the Isopure just to try it out

THANKS FOR YOUR OUTLOOK GUYS ITS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED !!!

I am a little over a week post op and the Unjury Protein is absolutely sickening to me now. Each flavor tastes so sweet that is makes me nauseated immediately. Even the premier shakes make me sick just to smell them. I think it's because I'm on the full liquid phase so everything I'm allowed is sweet (pudding, yogurt, Jello, etc.) I'm just so tired of sweet things! Yuck!

This is when unflavored protein really comes in handy. Because it doesn't have any added sweeteners you can add it to a broth or a nonchunky Soup and give your palate a bit of a break from all the sweetness. The only thing that got me through the all liquids phase was having broth or soup for dinner. I needed a savory break from all that sweet.

@Southern Sleeve oh no!! Ive seen quite a bit of people went or are going through that as well with the sweets they loved the products pre surgery but then after t couldn't stand them...... BUT they said as time passed that there taste buds normalized and they could have them again......

hi... I too cannot stand the Protein powder as Protein shakes. If I need a Protein shake - I stick to the premixed ones like Pure Protein or Premier Protein.

Now that I am 6 months out, I am finding fun in cooking again. So I use unflavored protein in many of my baked goods - like pancakes and muffins (and they are carb free too). For cooking, I find the unflavored GNC and Quest chocolate and vanilla bake really good. I found that unflavored Syntrax nectar is VERY BAD!!!! It changes the composition of everything and my poor pumpkin pancakes were a complete fail.

One more note - I recently found this mix. Can you saw awesome!!!!

I've been experimenting with baked things and unflavored Protein Powder. On The Chew they made this recipe with a waffle that had falafel type seasonings using mashed chickpeas and a little flour. I plan to do half gluten free and half Protein Powder. I've always been an experimenter in the kitchen so I'm enjoying making new concoctions.

I was initially a big fan of genpro, but they switched formulations and it doesn't dissolve like it used to. I'm into my first bottle of PipingRock.com. It dissolves well, no taste, and very inexpensive.

        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
