I get to leave tomorrow!

They took me off of the IV and I'm down to oral meds.  I'm keeping fluids down and drinking well.   But the diet they have for me is both carb high and protein low.   The only thing witha lot of protein in it is the ensure clear.   It's got 7gms of prote in but it also had 43g of carbs.   I have to cut it with water because it's so overly sweet.   So it takes me 6 hours to get this stuff down.   

My question is... at home I have a huge tub of unjury unflavored protein powder.   How well does it dissolve in stuff?   I'm gonna put it in everything.   Can I put it in coffee?   Broth?  Apple juice?  Anything I should know about how well it dissolves in certain temps?

our nutritionist said the unflavored is great in anything....but don't reheat it and don't mix it in plain water.  Otherwise use it how you want :)

Does it have difficulty in hot or cold liquids?  Like can I put it in my hour broth or my cold apple juice? 

She said it does not BUT you CAN'T reheat it...she said it'll be nasty, she also said to heat whatever you're going to heat first then add it; if that makes sense? So like cook the broth and then when done and off the stove add it to it. Oh she said 140degrees for heat is about as hot as it can go and not mess it up, cold no problems.

You need to temper your liquids before you put it in or it's going to clump.  It's a protein, when you heat it up it changes consistency.  Put it into water, stir it up and then slooooowly heat it up to a warm temp.  Not piping hot - or you'll end up with nastiness. 

I use it, but it takes a lot of stir time to dissolve fully. You can put it in warm liquids like broth, just make sure they're not over 140 degrees. Anything over that and it congeals and clumps.

Awesome.   Thanks guys! 

You shouldn't really be drinking apple juice - or any juice.  Stick to foods that will aid in your healing and weight loss, which means protein.  The only liquid calories my program allows are those from protein shakes.  (And protein rich broths and soups while I was in the liquid phase.)  

Isopure is a good clear liquid protein drink.  

I'm still in the hospital.   All they are serving me is juice, high carb low protein ensure clear,  and broth at night and coffee in the morning.    I also get jello.   when I get out my clear diet will change.  But my husband is bringing me the unjury so I can increase the protein.

I thought you were talking about what you'd do when you got home from the hospital tomorrow in your original post.  Sorry.
