UNJURY diets after Lap-Band surgery

Unjury protein supplements are an excellent post-op food source. Unjury protein supplement is a thick liquid that will help you feel full, and allow you to lose weight. It comes in five flavors (Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry Sorbet, Chicken Broth, and Unflavored). We allow our patients to use this drink for the first week after surgery. We recommend it be used over the first six weeks after Lap-band surgery. Unjury protein supplements are available through our office.
