Best way to disolve whey powder in liquids



Recommended Posts

Hi folks... I am 12 days out from surgery and using GENEPRO powder. I am having problems with it clumping. I am only doing 5 oz of broth, Tomato Soup etc and I mix it in a cup. Any suggestions ?

if the liquid is too hot it will clump up.

I stirred it in at room temperature and then put it in the microwave. But even then, I could only get it so warm before it would clump up. This made it do-able at least. (And I always kept in mind that the liquid stage wouldn't be forever...)

yeah most of those Protein powders turn Gummy at 140 or above. I usually microwave the food or drink, then use thermometer and add powder once its below 140.

Yup what he said. You have to get it below 140 or else the Protein will begin to clump/gummy up and it won't be all that tasty at that point.

You might want to search genpro on this forum. It's a controversial product that may not have as much Protein as they claim. Many surgeons (including mine) don't approve it as a Protein Drink after surgery.

      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.
