Thoughts on Protein Powders (Premier, Unjury, etc.)



Recommended Posts

I'm having trouble finding a good Protein Powder. I tried Bariatric Fusion and found it gross (especially the chicken soup). Premier Protein is just way too sweet for me. The Caramel is revolting, and the banana and Cream is drinkable but soooo sweet. Everyone says Unjury is the best. If I don't like Bariatric fusion or Premier Protein will I like Unjury? Am I doomed to find all Protein Shakes undrinkable? Everyone keeps saying how great Premier Protein caramel is and I really find it disgusting.

I just ordered the Unjury sample pack. I wanted to be able to try all the different types without spending a fortune!

Never seen clear. Is it unflavored, or fruit flavored? Do you also find Premier Protein milk-based to be gross?

I use GENEPRO Medical Grade Protein powder. I add a scoop of it to certain foods when I need to get my protein in. There is no taste to it. I mix it first in a small amount of liquid to get the clumps out then I mix it in whatever I put it in.

I liked premiere choc Protein Shakes before surgery and still do. I have one a day. I use Genepro protein powder as a fill in.

I bought my Genepro Medical Grade protein powder on Amazon. It delivered the same day - I was surprised. It comes in a small bag with 30 servings.

I hope that helps.

I hated Bariatric fusion meal replacements. This is different?

Yes, it's a completely different product. Mixes very nicely with everything. What didn't you like about Bariatric fusion?

Flavor was very artificial, way too sweet for me. And the consistency was kind of slimy.

I believe we got the right balance when it comes to sweetness.

Protein One isn't slimy - at all.

Try unflavored and mix it into something you really enjoy drinking.

I can't tolerate any of them! They all give me the steadies with the bathroom, which is not good. So I am very short on Protein right now. 😱

I was having a hard time handling Protein and just got the Syntrax Nectar variety pack. You get 17 individual packs, one of each of the flavors they offer. I am loving the fruit flavors (all I have tried so far). They go down smoothly and arent too thick or sweet.

I had trouble getting protein in before but this is working for me. Hope you find what works for you!

Now that I’ve had the surgery I️ can’t tolerate Carmel premier protein by itself. I️ pour half in coffee and try to drink the rest.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
