Vitamix to foamy?



Recommended Posts

I am on my Pre-op diet. We love our Vitamix but it seems to froth up my Isopure to almost triple the amount. I can see that there is so much air in shake. I think this may be an issue post-op.

Anyone has this issue? What did you do to remedy it, if anything at all?

WLS on June 25th.

Thanks.

I got an immersion blender because shakes in my regular blender were way too foamy and I absolutely could not tolerate them. If you want to stick with your vitamix, though, you can try making sure the pitcher is absolutely full (so no air gets frothed in). You can also take an overly-foamy shake and let it rest in the fridge for 5-6 hours to get rid of the foam.

It's the Protein not the vitamix. If you put all the ingredients except the Protein Powder in first and then do a slow short blend at the end to mix in the protein powder it improves the foaming significantly.

So today we mixed everything except the Protein powder first then added it at the end. So much better. Like night and day. Thanks for the tip.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
