no to my liquid protein



Recommended Posts

My nut said that my Isopure Protein is not counted towards 48-64oz of Fluid that is required. Well that SUCKS!!! LOL So my question to you guys is when you add protein to something warm does it change, break it down, alter the protein?

Thanks in advance!

The answer is yes. I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein and their directions are not to heat above 140 degrees. Two things happen: The Protein clumps up and it is not very tasty and the protein breaks down.

I never warmed up to Isopure drinks. I never liked how they tasted. Also according to my guideline I can only have 60-70 grams of protein and they always drove me too high in protein.

Well, there is liquid in it. It is mostly Water. Therefore, the NUT is an idiot. But this is only my opinion. While I do not love Isopure it is a liquid and it is Protein. For some it is a lifesaver to get the protein and the liquid in one. Seems to me the NUT has some odd agenda, like a lot of NUT's do.

My Isopure and Syntrax drinks are on my recommended list and count towards my liquid for the day. I put unjury chocolate Splender in my warm cocoa mix, but only to 130 degrees. Then I add some lite whipped cream.

Same for the chicken and Unflavored varieties. Whatever I add them to, I don't go over 130 degrees. Also, I make my Protein into a paste with Water first, then add the rest of my liquid (kind of like the process for pan gravy). AND I strain it before I pour it into my drinking container. I put strawberry Unjury in Crystal Lite Lemonade.

      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.
