It was suggested to me by my nurse coordinator that I make some protein frozen pops for immediately following surgery when I get home. I have seen that on some of the whey proteins, it says it is not good to freeze it. Has anyone else made protein frozen pops for post-op nutrition? If so, what products did you use? I plan on using the bathroom size Dixie cups to make small frozen pops as that will be about the size they say I can eat for the first few days. Thank you in advance for any help on this.

I'm gonna try to make frozen pops with my Bariatric Advantage ProGo Protein Elixir, it's White Grape Flavor. I sure hope it tastes kinda like my good old Gatorade Fierce Grape!

Let us know what works for you! I willing to try anything that's tasty!!

I didn't try to freeze the Isopure 40gm clear protien (love the apple melon-think jolly green rancher) but I did try to make a shake with ice. Did not work at all as it became frothy and undrinkable. Great idea, but you might not want it. I did not do well with SF popsicles.

Oh - and I could not stand anything cold after surgery as it upset my tummy. Found with trial and error that room tempature drinks or slightly warm were best and I could get in more liquid. Highly recommend peppermint tea, luke warm or lipton chicken Soup (strained & slightly warm) Had to take a PPI since stomach acid was really high for first couple of months.

Oh yeah, I love love Peppermint Tea!

I drink it for all my aliments, like sore throat, stomach ache, migraines. I sure hope it helps me out after my Sleeve.

So maybe frozen pops might not agree with me after WLS? Like you said it's trial and error!

Thanks for the tips!!

I made frozen pops with the Isopure clear flavors, it was the only way I could choke the stuff down. Thankfully, I was only on clears a week post-op.
