I had gastric bypass 12/12. Tomorrow I am able to start pureed foods. After spending hours on Pinterest I found a few recipes I'd like to make. In the almost three weeks since surgery I've had very very little Protein. My surgeons office says no shakes until I get to full foods. My body feels SO weak. Am I able to mix unflavored Protein into any recipe I choose to make? Or does it need to be a liquid?

Thank you!

I've found mixing it with a little Water before adding it to warm things makes it not clump so terribly... so I make my morning coffee, in a separate mug I add the Protein Powder to the milk and then add the coffee to that. No problems with clumping!

I use the unflavored powder all the time in Soups etc. mix it with a little Water and beat it to death so there are no lumps then slowly add the warm liquid to it while stirring the entire time. I usually do it in thirds wait a moment and then add more stirring the whole time. not many lumps that way.

@@snimmon They said no shakes until real food? That's the opposite of what I was told. I was told to have shakes until I get to real food and then try to get all my Protein from real food. You might want to check back in with them to see if what you heard was correct.

I had my surgery on 12/12 myself. And my post op plan is that on phase II, I'm back to Protein shakes. We need Protein. Otherwise there is no energy to walk, which is important to our recovery.

      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.
