UNJURY vs. Grocery Store Protein Brands, A Cautionary Tale

Your surgeon and dietitian have done their research, and they recommend UNJURY® products over other brands because they trust its superior quality and know their patients love the taste of it so they’ll use it long-term.  

We hear patients say, “UNJURY® saved my life” after bariatric surgery because they found a product that they truly enjoy and feel confident in.  With UNJURY® Protein they know that they are getting the very highest quality protein for recovery, weight loss and long-term success.

This letter to UNJURY® from a customer is a vivid reminder that not all protein products are the same, and that quality matters:

"Hello-- my name is Elaine*, and I'm a 3 1/2 year gastric bypass post op. I used to use your product religiously, but over the last year I've gotten lazy with my protein intake....and I've gained 10lbs of my weight back.

I've been one of the lucky people who has never had any post op problems. No health issues...I've gotten down lower than my goal weight and maintained it...and I really believe it has to do with cutting out sugar completely, lowering starchy carbs drastically, and sticking to 2-3 UNJURY shakes a day. I guess I didn't realize how much the UNJURY had to do with that success.

Last year I started replacing my UNJURY with some ‘over the counter’ protein shakes. The nutritional components looked very similar- low carbs, low calories, high protein, no sugar. All good stuff I thought. then I noticed my weight creeping up slowly. My portion sizes started to increase ever so slowly to the point where I was really getting concerned at how much food it was taking to make me ‘feel full’. Granted, it was still a small amount- but I was eating more than before.

So, I upped my protein shakes (not UNJURY) to 3 a day- still no difference. My cravings increased...appetite increased. My husband asked me if I was losing hair. I have short hair, so I didn't really notice until I looked in the shower- and yes, I was losing hair!! About 2 months later my gums started bleeding when I brushed my teeth. And all this while I was drinking 3 ‘other brand’ protein shakes a day.

Because my family is on a tight budget right now, I rationalized the cost savings for the cheaper brand. But once my weight kept creeping up & my gums started bleeding, that was it. I went online & bought my UNJURY and put myself back on 3 shakes a day.

Within 2 weeks, the gums stopped bleeding. Within 3 days I could tell a huge difference in my cravings and my appetite. I eat less at each meal when I'm on UNJURY - and I started to feel like my "old self" again. I've lost 5 of the 10 extra pounds too.

After reading the protein fact sheets you send with each order, I can see the difference in protein quality. Just because the label says ‘20 grams of protein’ doesn't mean that I'm actually absorbing those 20 grams! I had no idea!! No wonder I was gaining weight!

I just wanted to give my testimony- I'll never question the price on UNJURY again:) Thanks."
