Realizing she’d need a steady supply once she was back home, Sarah went online. She found that the most direct way to restock was the official Unjury Website , which offered everything from their Rich Chocolate Ready-to-Drink shakes to their savory Chicken Soup powder .

Sarah stood in the clinic hallway, clutching a brochure her dietitian had handed her. "You need medical-quality protein for your recovery," the dietitian had said, circling the brand .

Her first stop was the hospital's own retail shop, the WFBH Weight Management Center , where she found the unflavored powder she could mix into her morning broth. When she mentioned it to a friend later that afternoon, she learned that specialized bariatric clinics like Grand Health Partners and Rex Bariatrics also kept the shakes in stock for their patients.
