Clumping and burning - ISOPURE non-flavored Protein

I'm 5 days post-op and have been doing very well getting my liquids in (or at least I think so). Yesterday, I added a scoop of Isopure to my Soup, and I was able to gag it down okay. I don't like luke warm Soup and I definetly am not a fan of clumps of powder in my soup. Today, I had the bright idea of cooking it into the soup. What a disaster. Most of it burned to the bottom of the pan and what remained that I tried to consume, had chunks of Protein clumps. After a few sips and a very terrible pain my chest, I gave up.

I really don't like drinkng the sweet stuff. I'm drinking the Premier Protein shakes (2 a day) and I also have the flavored Isopure Fruit drinks. They are all so sweet, I can't stand them. Any suggestions on adding the mix to either soup or something non-sweet???? My surgeon wants me getting at least 80 g of Protein in a day....

Thank you for your help!

Sincerely,

Naomi

I'm on the liquid diet right now. It's not listed in my "options," but creamy Soups are so I'm not sure why V8 wouldn't work? I'll have to give it a try. I've heard about the unjury chicken soup. I'm looking at it right now and considering a purchase as I type...

You can't add most Protein to really hot foods and if you cook most Protein powders you ruin them.

The chicken Soup from unjury is a good option for something savory.

other than that, I would slowly add my protein to my warm broth with a whisk and that created few clumps.

Get a thermometer you will thank yourself. The unjury starter kit comes with one.

As stated not good to risk anything over 140 and you get clumps or worse. I made mistake of dumping my powder in Starbucks provided hot Water while outside of house and immediately produced a chicken powder hockey puck. If you have correct temp all should mix well.

Ditto mixing it with warm Water and adding it to your Soup our other hot liquids. Messed it up a few times myself before someone clued me in. Putting it in before heating it up made it horribly gritty.

I'm one week post op! Down 12 lbs. im so over sweets. I started mixing my Protein powder with muscle milk to try and gag down 50mg of Protein in one shake. I had Tomato Soup tonight and it was absolutely the best thing I have had in my mouth in 8!days. Just a few spoonfuls changed my life! Lol I see my dr Wednesday and going to HOPEFULLY get some ideas on variety, I wish everyone luck on their new adventure and all the protein and lack of chewing has not changed my mind one bit..... Super happy with surgery choice!

My surgeon said I could use nonfat plain Greek yogurt and cottage cheese during this phase (because they turn to a liquid). I've been using them now for abbot 3 days. I mix a scoop of the Isopure powder in with a quarter cup of either, blend it really good, and take tiny little bites. If I start to hurt, I stop and put it away. It takes me about an hour to get through it, but it's not the nasty sweet stuff :-). It's also not very tasty, but tasty can get me in trouble so I'm okay with it.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
