My unjury is here!!!!

I love the unjury strawberry sorbet. I put it in my Majic Bullet with ice and about 1/2 a banana.

I also like Vitalady.com - Protein Supplements, Vitamins & Minerals, and Safe Snacks!. They have alot of sample packets.

You can get a pretty decent sample pack from Bariatric Eating - Protein, Vitamins, Gastric Bypass & Lap Band Info, Post-op Recipes, and Help that has a bunch of different brands in it.

Yikes. Kinda pricey to me just to sample them. Have you tried any of them and which do you recommend?

Well, they've got two different packages. One of them has a book, the other doesn't.

I liked the Nectar Fuzzy Navel, Matrix Chocolate, IDS Multi-Pro Vanilla-Cinnamon (almost too sweet for me, though), and Whey Gourmet Peanut Butter Chocolate (best by far, IMO). You can get all those except the IDS at Netrition.com - The Internet's Premier Nutrition Superstore! (the Nectar and Matrix are under the Syntrax brand, and the Whey Gourmet is under the PVL brand).

Try BariatricEating.com as well. they have an entire product line specific for bariatric patients. Let me tell you... They have it going on!!! They do RESEARCH on flavor!!

I love cinnamon spice. Every morning I have my fav protein shake:

approx 8.5 oz. vanilla micellar milk (1/2 the carton) = 20 g pro
1 scoop vanilla unjury powder = 20 g pro
1/2 scoop low-carb chai tea (from bariatriceating.com)
4-5 ice cubes
blend well
enjoy!

I also like the Whey Gourmet chocolate peanut butter protein powder mixed w/ 1/2 carton of chocolate micellar milk.

I also mix a scoop of vanilla unjury powder w/ 1 vanilla 60 cal sugar free Jello pudding, a T or so of canned pumpkin, a splenda (to taste), & some cinnamon... tastes (to me) like pumpkin pie filling. yum!

Just play around w/the flavors you enjoy! Best wishes!

Have you tried the Whey Gourmet Artic Frappe whatever? I am a Starbucks feind so this might work if it tastes good.

I've been wanting to, but I haven't wanted to buy a whole canister of it unless I've tried it, and I can't find samples of it anywhere. I have tried their milk chocolate flavor, though, and it tastes like cardboard. The orange creamsicle flavor is nearly as bad.

Well shoot me a PM if you ever do and let me know. Come January when I get my band it is going to be VERY hard to not pull through that drive through Starbucks!

Starbucks doesn't have to be bad! They've got a lot of stuff that you can get non-fat and sugar-free, although I usually just get a vanilla latte with 2% milk and regular syrup. As long as you work it into your daily calories, you'll be fine! And the lattes actually have a decent amount of protein, too.

I'll have to try one of those. I love fraps. Not much of a "hot" coffe drinker. I like mine cold. Do they have the fraps in non fat and sugar free?

I looked them up on their website, and they've got what they call Frapuccino Lights, which have fewer calories (no whipped cream, for one) than the regular. A grande mocha FL has 140 calories, compared to 380 for the regular mocha frap. In the summer, I also like getting their iced coffee with vanilla syrup and a little cream or milk in it. It's not bad on calories.

You can also get their lattes iced, too, if you don't like hot ones.
