I cannot for the life of me drink more than an ounce a day of my protein shakes i'm not sure if it's because they are too creamy or because i drank them pre-op and now my body just doesn't want it but i need ideas on how i can get some protein in at 5 days post-op i feel extremely tired i get fatigued over anything and feel dizzy i can drink sips of water throughout the day and have ice chips, and some orange crystal light witch i ♥ and can tolerate just fine, but i need protein, would i be able to put flavorless protein powder in my crystal light water? Please help i need ideas, also my potassium was very low after surgery so thats another concern i have what can i take for that at 5 days out? Any homemade smoothies or shake ideas would be greatly appreciated =)

Go get some Isopure. It's light and has 2 grams of Protein per oz. You can mix into a crystal light if you don't like the taste or just Water it down. I drank it straight and just made myself learn to like it in the first few weeks after. Made all the difference in my recovery and energy levels.

Good luck to you and hang in there, it will get better!

You can try Pure Protein shot it has 42 grams.of protein in 3 ounces. The taste, let's say is unique, and the consistency is kind of like syrup, but it is only 3 ounces.

I was also having a very hard time with protein shakes, not sure if it was the texture or the sweetness. I have recently discovered Nector Lemonade. OMG it is fantastic! Loaded with protein! I ordered the single serving packs and just throw them in my lunch box or purse. I have had it mixed with water or iced tea (Arnold Palmer). I have also mixed it with crystal light squeezable favors. I ordered it from amazon. Good luck
