Need Help!!!

holly11 · April 16, 2008

I am trying different Protein Drinks to find something I like (I am not being banded until May 12th). I just got some samples from Unjury and it says to mix with Water. That in no way sounds good to me, strawberry water?? My diet sheet says I can have milk upto 1%, is it ok to mix the Unjury with milk instead of water? I just can't stomach drinking this mix with water. Any help would be great!!!!

Yep....you can mix with milk----but not usually in the first post op phase. It is for Clear liquids only.

You can use it with milk, yogurt etc, for Protein shakes during the second phase---full liquids.< /strong>

For the first stage of Clear Liquids I used the Zero Carb Ispopure drinks--they have a koolaid like drink that is high in Protein. Not the yummiest---but man they helped me feel so much better!!

Good plan to pretaste and plan for your post op diet!!!

Good Luck!

Some of the Unjury flavors (Chocolate and Vanilla) are mixed with milk. Many people mix the strawberry Shorbert with Crystal Light Lemonade and really like it. I haven't tried it yet so I haven't formed an opinion. Personally I like Medifast shakes best followed by Low Carb Slim Fast (out of the low carb Protein drinks) though I find after a week of drinking most of the others I've learned to like them and don't feel like they taste too bad.

Actually, my doctor allowed full liquids for pre-op and post-op (starting the day of surgery), so there may not be a restriction on using milk to mix with the unjury. If your doctor has you on full liquids, this should be fine. If you're restricted to clear liquids, then by all means, follow your doctor's instructions. And if you're not sure, give their office a call.

BTW, I love chocolate Unjury mixed with skim milk, 1T Peanut Butter and ice!
