Heating protein? Turns weird!



Recommended Posts

I am on full liquids for another week, which means blended Soups and broth, etc...but nothing of sustenance. I am having SO much trouble getting in 60 grams of Protein. I can get about 50, and my doctor says that's okay, but I am getting so sick of sweet Protein. I haven't been able to find anything I can heat sufficiently, the protein goes weird when you get it hot and by the time I can eat it all, it is cold. I have tried unflavored protein from GNC, Optifast Tomato and chicken soups...by the way..kinda gritty, and I have powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup, which is okay, but you can't really warm it too much. I like my food HOT! I can't seem to add enough protein without it getting too gritty or clabboring because of the heat.

Does anyone have suggestions on how I can get protein in a form other than sweets? Or have a trick on heating protein with food? I'd appreciate any advice!

The reverse is true with Muscle Milk RTD, I froze it and then drank it the next day and it was the texture of curdled milk NASTY!!!!

What about beef boullion or french onion Soup with unflavored Protein Powder mixed in? If you were only mixing it in per serving then maybe there wouldn't be any reheating/grainy issues. I don't remember the brand name but the "organic" section of Safeway carries these boxes of low sodium stock - chicken, beef, veg, etc. I'm going to get those and unflavored p.p. for my full liquid stage.

You can heat the pure Protein frosty chololate shakes, and it tastes just like hot cocoa. 35 grams of protein with only 4 carbs. You can buy at GNC or Trader Joes. They are premade in cans.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
