Oh my goodness! I tried to drink protein yesterday. Got about 10 grams, maybe. Today tried a chocolate protein drink...17 grams, got about 12-13 grams down. It makes me so nauseous! No trouble with water or tea or broth or other sugar-free drinks. Guess I'll just keep trying. Going to try the Unjury flavorless in broth or the Unjury chicken soup. Anyone else have this type of nausea?

Nausea may be a symptom of dehydration...in addition to drinking your protein shakes, you need to be drinking as many ounces of free fluids (FF/SF) as you are able to reasonably tolerate.

Dehydration is not to be taken lightly...I ended up in the hospital because of it.

Hope you feel better...

Thanks, Sojourner. I think you were right about my being dehydrated. Trying so hard to get fluids in. Took me all day to drink about 24 oz of water with 21 g of protein in it, but finally made it. Not sure I can gag any more down tonight. Today is my first thinned cream soup day and am almost afraid to try any. I feel like I have a lump in my esophagus, but liquid is going through just fine. Guess it's the hernia repair and/or gas. Ready for it to go away!
