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.

        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
