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.

      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.
