Warm or Hot Protein Okay?

Hi everyone, I'm back asking for advice. My surgery was Friday and since coming home Sunday I'm suposed to get 2 oz. of protein in 6 times per day for a total of at least 50 grams these 1st 2 weeks. My protein is the Body Fortress by Walmart. My question is, will I damage or destroy the protein if I heat it in the microwave? My throat has a raw pusy area from the surgery pipe down my throat. If I heat the chocolate flavor, it tastes like hot cocoa and feels great to my throat. But I don't want to defeat the purpose of the protein and I can drink hot broth in between for my throat if needed instead. Thanks for your advice.

And sorry if some of my posts keep repeating, I get error messages and they appear not to post and then they have posted multiple times. Sorry about that!

And by the way, welcome to all you newbies - this is THE place for support and encouragememt!

Hugs,
Rhonda

SOOOOOO GLAD YOU ARE OUT OF SURGERY AND DOING SO GOOD. DOES YOUR DOC KNOW YOU HAVE A  ***** OPPS, PUSY PLACE ON YOUR THROAT. ARE YOU ON ANTIBIOTICS?  ONE OF MY PROTEINS DOES SAY NOT TO PUT IN TOO HOT OF ANYTHING AS IT WILL BREAK DOWN OR SOMETHING. MY OTHER PROTEIN DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT THOUGH. I DO HAVE A PROTEIN HOT CHOC MIX AND IT CAN GET HEATED.  SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU EXCEPT TO FIND A TOLL FREE NUMBER ON THE JAR AND CALL AND ASK THEM.  U ARE RIGHT TO BE CONCERNED.  GOOD LUCK TO YOU MY FRIEND. LOVE YA, VICK

Thanks Vickie. After posting last night, I looked up the topic on OH and found that it is okay to warm it. I am calling my docs office today and will mention it to them, but gargling with warm sal****er seems to be making it better so might not need anything else.  Thanks for alwasy being there. I hope things are going well for you. How is the weight going, has the Ensure helped at all or have you found something else that helps with adding weight?

Hugs,
Rhonda

Hi Rhonda, glad to hear that the sal****er gargles are helping.  I have heated up carnation instant breakfast for something warm, could also add extra powdered milk powder to it for increased protein. 

If your throat is still sore, call your surgeon for advice.

So glad to hear that you are home.  Keep doing what your surgeon directs you to do.  Major hugs , Kathy
