Clear proteins questions



Recommended Posts

My surgery is Monday, I've done really well with the preoperative diet until today. I need to do clear liquid tomorrow and for the first week. I've tried Isopure, Atkins Lift & I can't stomach the taste.

Is there a clear flavorless Protein Powder that I can pick up locally to mix in with broths, Water. Jello, etc. that taste decent?

Any other suggestions for something ready to drink someone can recommend?

Thanks in advance.

Just do broth, SF apple cider, and your surgeons recommendations and you will be fi.ne. We have been there!

there are unflavored powders. Note that unflavored does NOT mean tasteless - just that it doesn't have vanilla or chocolate or a fruit flavor added. So honestly, I find them to have a very offputting "proteiny" taste and smell. However Protein powders are a matter of personal taste.

I tried adding the unjury unflavored to SF Jello but found that as the Jello set, the Protein Powder settled out. But there are people who have successfully done it - wish I knew what their trick for success was! If adding to broth - just make sure the broth is below 140 degrees Fahrenheit or the Protein with coagulate and be gross.

Unjury has a chicken broth flavored protein powder that would count on clears and is quite tasty - just follow the same temperature rule as above.

Thank you all, I know this phase is short lived and I'm just trying to get through it.

We've all been there. And that's exactly right, you just have to buckle down and get through it. For me, it helped to think of the Protein shakes as my medicine during that time - that way I wasn't looking for them to be tasty, just get it down.

My first week of Clear liquids, I was allowed Protein shakes. So it was more Water thin liquids, than Clear Liquids.< /p>

I had Premier Protein and broth with Protein powder.

GNC has flavorless powder. Only 1 teaspoon 30gm

Mix anything

Are you sure that a teaspoon has 30 grams of Protein? Most powdered Proteins I have used have a serving size of a scoop or two and the scoops are larger than a teaspoon.

It's not a powder, but ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates are clear.

Do they taste like chalk?

No, they are fruity flavors. One is a green tea.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
