If you're using protein powder, mix it the day before and let it dissolve overnight before drinking it. Have you tried protein bullets? I used "new whey" and mixed them with water because they're very thick and sweet.
If you've tried everything you can, and you still can't tolerate it, then contact your doctor for recommendations. Protein is important for healing.

I forgot about the bullets and I will try to fix it a day ahead. You have been spot on about so many other things, I will take your advice.

I like to mix the unjury unflavored protein into my greek yogurt for a big blast of protein.

Try it on ice. I'm preop but taste-testing, and something that tastes yakky right after it's mixed can taste so much better after mingling with a few ice cubes for five or ten minutes.

I definitely agree with the I've thing, I've been testing proteins too and found one I can mix with water. Being lactose intolerant that's important to me. It's not that great by itself but blended with I've is yummy.

Hi mia,
How's the protein consumption coming along?

Oh I am right there with you! I cannot tolerate almost all that I've tried! It's such a pain! I see my nut on Monday and I know I'm going to get scoldings!

Hi. Have you tried mix in's?
I take my vanilla protein powder, mix with almond milk and add either sugar free orange Jello mix or decaf instant coffee.
Make sure too that you're going low on protein grams at first. If it's too high, it may be making it harder for you to ingest.
Good luck :)

well, I am still trying. I found several that I liked PRE-Op but Post-op nothing tastes good. I am trying to do a great deal of Greek Yogurt with every single thing to up the protein content.

I'm struggling too. Same issues. The stuff I could tolerate pre-op tastes like chalk post-op. I have found mixing at least a little chocolate protein powder in some SF chocolate pudding and cutting it all with a little milk is tolerable. I am still experimenting. I am just sick of sweet stuff. Blech!

I found the best protein powder mix from walmart.com, and I swear by it. In fact if I could put my name on and patent it I would do it. It is the body fortress super advanced whey protein powder. They come in all different flavors and guess what, it doesn't have a chalky taste and you won't even think you are drinking a protein shake. My favorite one to use is the Chocolate Peanut Butter one, I mix that with milk and it is delicious. A 2lb canister is just $15.00 and each scoop has 30grams of protein. In fact mia0918tn, I am going to post this as a message for all who are having trouble finding and liking a good protein poweder.

According to my fitness pal, I have eaten 27g of protein today. I made some oatcakes and baked ricotta (from eggface). I will try to add some dairy to increase the grams....
