I bought the Unjury unflavored Protein Powder today and mixed it with crystal light like I've heard others say they do. I was so disgusted by the taste and smell I dumped it out. It was like adding a glass of milk to my crystal light. Am I crazy??? I'm struggling so bad with these Protein Shakes I'm starting to gag when I drink them. I was really hoping this stuff would be the answer. Help!

I bought the Isopure unflavored and found the same thing. I'm going to try blending it into fruit and yogurt smoothy. Maybe into some mashed potatoes too. For being unflavored it reminds me more of baby formula.

Mashed potatoes would amazing but I'm told they are a no no. No grains, no rice, no potatoes, and if course no sugar. Really no white foods except cauliflower lol

White potato is on my list of choices as long as its a serving of starch and not getting in the way of Protein needs. Also, as long as its not filled with fats like butter :). Cauliflower is lovely.

One of my favorite things to puree is black, pinto, kidney Beans with their juices. Add chicken Bone Broth ( I make my own) Puree some chicken, red bell pepper and onion and add to your bean puree and reduce on low heat until you like the consistency. A little salt and garlic powder helps to enhance the flavor along with a little cheese. I only eat about 3/4 a cup of the finished product, but I get some good Protein, veggies, wonderful starch and a little fat. Also, my husband will eat it with chips so I don't have to have it everyday for 2 weeks lol.

I'm a fan of Unjury, but I don't think I'd try to put it in Crystal Light. I tried the Jello recipe on the Unjury site and it's tolerable, but I don't think I'd stand in line for it. Unflavored Unjury is best when mixed with milk-based products. I put a tablespoon or so in my greek yogurt to get an extra Protein kick.

If you're looking for something clear, Premier Protein makes clear protein supplement drinks. I haven't tried them, but others on this site speak highly of them. I bought the Isopure from GNC but they leave a weird dry-feeling in my mouth that I just can't tolerate.

For me, if I'm tired of milk based protein supplements, I keep Unjury chicken flavored on hand. I like it because it's a nice change from the sweetness of most Protein Shakes and it is warm/soothing. Warning: it is high in sodium.

Thank you! This is very helpful.

        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
