Has anyone tried mixing flavorless protien powder with surger free Jello?

I am thinkingt about post op when you have to eat soft foods. Not sure if it can be done and havent really looked to hard. but it could be a good idea if it works.

Any ideas? anyone try it?

I've thought of it too, but have yet to try it. My thing was trying to figure out how to know exactly how much Protein was in each serving. I have the flavorless Isopure powder and thought about trying it out. If I can figure it out or anyone else does, please share!

I tried it and it it was gross! I mixed it exactly as they suggested on the Isopure site and there was a film on top of the Jello. I tried to scrape off the film and eat it but just couldn't eat more than a couple of bites. I was only about a week out and it was black cherry which I used to like so maybe it was changing taste buds. I never tried to make it again but if I did I would use half the amount of Protein as they suggested.

Me too! Used recipe sent to me from manufacturer (Unjury brand) and threw away two batches-totally unedible! I'll leave my Jello unadulterated by this Protein madness, thank you very much!

Have y'all tried to mix it with the liquid Isopure? Use that instead of the Water they come out much better

I love this idea! I hate Jello, and the thought of eating it makes me sick. But if I have a reason to eat it (protein) I can choke it down :)

Hi all you Protein Jello seeking fans. Bariatric Advantage makes Soups and jellos that are Protein infused. Most servings are 15 grams of protein. They taste great and I am having no problem getting them down two days post op. Good luck on your journey.

Really?? I haven't seen it in their product catelog. What's it called? Everything's got a weird name :) I'm interested! Seems like a post op must have

I mis-spoke. Sorry I thought all of my stuff was made by Bariatric Advantage. Now that I am going through the cupboard, I am realizing that the doctor I am going through sells this under their name. The name of the program is the N.E.W. Program in Costa Mesa , Ca. They may have a site you can order the Jello and Soup through. Truly a life saver.

Although a little pricey, I have tried these and found them to be "decent" just for the mere reason I can not, for the life of me, master Protein Jello with unflavored Protein. I have thrown away 6 batches of these!

Close to around $6 for a package of them - GNC. Vitamin shoppe doesn't carry anything similar.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
