Anyone else find powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury to be disgusting? I tried the strawberry one and I just can't get it down. I'm on my last week of my 2 week pre-op diet. And I know I have to do Clear liquids for the first 2 weeks after surgery. Any suggestions?

I didn't like any of the unjury products :-P For my clear liquids, I used the Isopure ready to drink fruit flavored drinks, and Syntrax nectar.

When I went to full liquids and beyond, I used Premier Protein shakes and some Isopure powders (which I HATE now and gave away). Now that I'm in my 9th week post-op, I use an unflavored Protein powder in my morning coffee and eat high-protein foods mostly. Good luck!

The Protein powders are such a personal matter of taste. For me, the unjury ones are my favorites. Did you make the strawberry sorbet with Water? I made it with crystal light lemonade and it wasn't bad. I do the same thing with the fruity Syntrax nectar powders - mix with crystal light - cuts the "protein-y" taste and smell a bit. The Isopure zero crab ready to drink are a good option for the Clear Liquids phase - you can find them easily at any GNC - although I'll be honest, while I didn't think they were horrible tasting, I struggled to get those down and I would only drink half a bottle a day and then switch to drinking something else.

I bought some of the unflavored unjury to add to applesauce and maybe broths. when I opened it I recoiled at the smell - I haven't mixed it in with anything yet. Not sure if I want to now that I have smelled it. :blink: (I am only on day 1 of liquids)

I like Protein shakes with 1/2 a banana. Also, I put in 1T of sugar free pudding powder into the blender and add ice and Water. It makes it creamy like a milkshake.

I do not like the strawberry at all. However I enjoyed the chocolate one mixed with milk and the chicken Soup one during the clear liquid phase. I also have been putting the unflavored in my yogurt and some Soups and it mixes very well and to me it is virtually tasteless!

I hate all brands of strawberry. And I got the starter pack for unjury and the only one I really like and use is the chicken broth. The chocolate splendor is ok but premier is better to me.

I can't stand the Bariatric Advantage that I bought at docs. I am going to force myself to finish some but taking an unopened one to a support group meeting to give away.

Other than premier which is high Protein and so convenient the Isopure unflavored is my back up to Unjury chicken. It is all a matter of individual tastes! Buy small and sample!

I love unjury. I look forward to it so much I could skip meals to just have a Protein shake! Try mixing the flavors. I also use Click coffee. My favorites are mixing 1/2 and 1/2 chocolate and vanilla, chocolate and coffee, vanilla and coffee. I also add a spoon of Truvia. Sometimes I also add half spoon of Decaf coffee or whole coffee Beans in the blender with 1/2 Water and 1/2 soy milk. I think mixing things up is the secret to enjoying Protein drinks.

I didn't like the Unjury brand of Protein Powder either. For a clear liquid source I liked the About Time drinks and for Protein Shake I like Quest. Also I like the Growing Naturals organic rice Protein powder for a vegan choice. It's a bit lighter tasting and I like the change now and again.

      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.
