Unflavored protein

[snimmon 6]

I had gastric bypass 12/12. Tomorrow I am able to start pureed foods. After spending hours on Pinterest I found a few recipes I'd like to make. In the almost three weeks since surgery I've had very very little Protein. My surgeons office says no shakes until I get to full foods. My body feels SO weak. Am I able to mix unflavored Protein into any recipe I choose to make? Or does it need to be a liquid?

Thank you!

My surgery gave me a booklet that suggested not added it into anything greater than 140 degrees Fahrenheit, not sure what happens if you do though.

I know that protien mix by powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury clumps and turns jelly like thickness if over 140 degrees, but I'm sorry, I can't give you advice on this topic.

I've found mixing it with a little Water before adding it to warm things makes it not clump so terribly... so I make my morning coffee, in a separate mug I add the Protein Powder to the milk and then add the coffee to that. No problems with clumping!

I use the unflavored powder all the time in Soups etc. mix it with a little Water and beat it to death so there are no lumps then slowly add the warm liquid to it while stirring the entire time. I usually do it in thirds wait a moment and then add more stirring the whole time. not many lumps that way.

You can mix Protein in anything. My friend mixed it in her Greek yogurt. Just be careful when mixing it with hot foods. Anything over 140 changes the textures of the Proteins

I have found that syntax unflavored works well. It is my go to Protein drink. I use 3 scoops in a bottle of Water with a pack of Crystal light. 30gr Protein, no carbs or fat

@@snimmon They said no shakes until real food? That's the opposite of what I was told. I was told to have shakes until I get to real food and then try to get all my Protein from real food. You might want to check back in with them to see if what you heard was correct.

I had my surgery on 12/12 myself. And my post op plan is that on phase II, I'm back to Protein shakes. We need Protein. Otherwise there is no energy to walk, which is important to our recovery.
