i know heat pretty much causes Proteins to denature, like an over cooked egg (protein will clump, aggregated when heated) and at certain temp, it will lose its function...

I am ordering some tonight. I can't give up my coffee so I thought it may be a way to at least get some extra Protein in. :-)

I have been using Unjury Protein Powder in my pre-op diet, I just had LBS two days ago, so my only post-op Unjury has been the chicken Soup flavor, which if you like chicken broth is a great was to get in Protein. They have an unflavored that you can mix with coffee or hot chocolate, I am going to try some in Tomato Soup as well. Directions say not to get it over 140 degrees as that changes the consistency of the protein. Their starter kit comes with a shaker bottle if you want to mix it that way and also a little thermometer that you can carry with you. While 140 is not 'piping hot', it is not bad and is a great change of pace to cold shakes all the time. I like chocolate as much as the next guy, but chocolate shakes 4 times a day gets a bit tedious, but I really don't like the vanilla or strawberry ones I have tried.

i found out with the help of melanndoll that if you mix your Protein with milk and make a paste of it first you can add hot coffee to that paste. it doesnt get clumpy. works great.

      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.
