I just want to remind everyone to be sure to get whey Protein isolate, no matter where you get it from.

If you buy the whey Protein concentrate, it will not blend easily in any liquid (except with a blender) and has lactose as a filler.

The isolate is a little more expensive, but well worth it. For all of us that will have to take a protein supplement for the rest of our lives, it's important to get the best for our bodies. :biggrin1:

Great reminder! Also, I've tried other whey Proteins before and had terrible cramping and bloating. I'm not normally lactose intolerant but that pushed me over the edge! But I haven't had any trouble with the unjury, which is whey potein isolate.

Thanks!

:Dthanks I didn't know that. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINKS YOU GUYS MIX IN YOUR unjury. I JUST WANT SOME IDEAS ON ALL TO CHANGE THINGS UP SOME

When I have vanilla Unjury, I put a little orange Crystal Light and blend with crushed ice. Tastes like an orange Dreamsicle. When I have chocolate Unjury, I blend it with a tablespoon of Peanut Butter or PB2 (powdered Peanut Butter I buy at Bell Plantation - PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter - Home). That tastes like a peanut butter cup. Yum.

The strawberry sorbet flavor is pretty good mixed with Crystal Light lemonade. I mix chocolate and vanilla with skim milk to help me get in my Calcium. I won't be banded until after the first of the year but I figure getting a little extra Protein in now can only make me healthier for the surgery. I have been drinking a shake for Breakfast for a week or so now.

I was surprised and very pleased at how quickly it came in the mail. The sample sizes were nice for trying them out but the larger containers are much cheaper per serving.

I've never tried the flavoured unjury ..but I think the unflavoured is yucky! I can't get past the smell of it and I have tried every trick about stiring it and leaving it to sit and coming back to it. Maybe I just have really picky taste buds ..or sense of smell.. or something ..because I just can't handle the stuff.

Thankfully I'm just on the edge of being able to eat "normal" food and I can get my Protein elsewhere.

I orderd the unjury four days before my surgery and received it the day before......I got the chocolate the chicken Soup and the unflavored. I have not liked the unflavored but have yet to add it to any food.

I like the chocolate fine it does not have a bad after taste like some of the Protein powders do. However the chicken Soup has a terrible after taste, but when you are craving taste this works just fine.

I mix mine in only 8 ounces of liquid makes it easier to get down in small amounts.

I am going to order some of the powdered Peanut Butter and try it.

The Welcome to the unjury Homepage website always has recipes on it too. One thing I found in ordering whey Protein isolate is being careful of the carb count.

When I order from Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, books, DVDs & more, I always pop on the "Nutrition Facts" before I add it to my basket. And as I said, I always make sure I can get the free shipping too. (Some of their stores charge for shipping)

It would have easy if any of our local drugstores had WPI (whey Protein isolate), but all they simply say is "Whey Protein" and I can't help but feel they are the concentrate (and I'm lactose intolerant :)).

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
