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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
