Heating protein? Turns weird!



Recommended Posts

I am on full liquids for another week, which means blended Soups and broth, etc...but nothing of sustenance. I am having SO much trouble getting in 60 grams of Protein. I can get about 50, and my doctor says that's okay, but I am getting so sick of sweet Protein. I haven't been able to find anything I can heat sufficiently, the protein goes weird when you get it hot and by the time I can eat it all, it is cold. I have tried unflavored protein from GNC, Optifast Tomato and chicken soups...by the way..kinda gritty, and I have powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup, which is okay, but you can't really warm it too much. I like my food HOT! I can't seem to add enough protein without it getting too gritty or clabboring because of the heat.

Does anyone have suggestions on how I can get protein in a form other than sweets? Or have a trick on heating protein with food? I'd appreciate any advice!

The reverse is true with Muscle Milk RTD, I froze it and then drank it the next day and it was the texture of curdled milk NASTY!!!!

What about beef boullion or french onion Soup with unflavored Protein Powder mixed in? If you were only mixing it in per serving then maybe there wouldn't be any reheating/grainy issues. I don't remember the brand name but the "organic" section of Safeway carries these boxes of low sodium stock - chicken, beef, veg, etc. I'm going to get those and unflavored p.p. for my full liquid stage.

You can heat the pure Protein frosty chololate shakes, and it tastes just like hot cocoa. 35 grams of protein with only 4 carbs. You can buy at GNC or Trader Joes. They are premade in cans.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
