Having a very hard time w protein mixes now. Starting 3rd week post-op. Didn't bother me until 2nd week post-op and now I just can't stomach it. I have tried many different kinds. Has anyone else had this problem?

I was told that our tastes would change after surgery, which it has for me. I've tried the unflavored powder and the Nectar Roadside Lemonade and they are nasty to me. I stick with the Cytosport giant bag of powder from Costco and the Premier pre-made shakes when I'm out for the day. Its been hard to adjust to consuming a lot of protein shakes but I think it will be worth it. I hope this helps you.

I am not this far out, but have you tried cutting the portion size in half? Maybe it's the large amount at one sitting that's making your stomach unsettled. Or maybe mixing it in different things, like milk instead of water, etc.

Thanks!! Will try your suggestions!

I was getting nautious with protein shakes. Shortly after surgery, I switched to EAS AdvantEdge Carb Control Protein drinks. They come in Chocolate, Strawberry, Cafe Caramel and some other flavors. It is an 11 oz drink with 17 grams of protein, 110 calories, 3 grams fat, and 4 grams total carbs. I actually enjoy the drinks and to me doesn't have that protein after taste. My favorite is the Cafe Caramel, although I have to order it online. The other flavors I can purchase at Kroger or other grocery stores. Give it a try! I think you will enjoy!! Hope this helps!!

Oh...and only 1 gram of sugar! Nice!!

I had this exact same problem. The smell of the protein makes me nauseated. A week after surgery and I could no longer tolerate it. I have bought so many in between time. I finally just last week found HMR products. They sell them at my fitness center. A little pricey but I don't smell or taste the protein. It has helped so much! Because I was not getting the protein in, my weight was not coming off. Good luck! I really feel for u. Let me know if you find anything also.
