I am still unable to stomach the protein shakes/powders...I have tried making pudding with it, I have tried putting the unflavored in soup, etc...I ordered a hot chocolate protein drink yesterday so I will try that. Any other suggestions?? I know I need it and I'm only able to eat about 20-30 grams a day. HELP!!!

Have you tried Isopure water? Your tastebuds do change after.

No...does it have the same taste/smell as the protein powder?

So you eat this powder plain??

Yes, I do! I bought the sample packs of syntrax and liked most plain. My favorites are the twisted cherry, strawberry kiwi, and the cappuccino. On their web site it says: "What's more? Well, we did something totally amazing by engineering Nectar™ to be so delicious that you can eat it right out of the container. Imagine putting a protein powder in your mouth and it tasting like candy." and "Yes! Nectar™ can be eaten like candy right out of the container." It's yummy! I hate too sweet powders so mostly use about time (milder flavor), although I find that the further out I am, the more I like the sweeter ones. I also put greek yogurt in all my protein shakes to cut some of the sweetness (usually 4oz almond milk, 2oz greek yogurt, 4oz water, and 1 scoop protein powder).

I'm 10 days PO. I'm feeling awful. Can hardly get anything down. The heartburn and gas is bad. I'm so tired and have tried the protein powders but they all taste soooo bad to me. HELP!

Makes me nauseous and if I keep drinking, throw up

Have you tried drinking 1 ounce then waiting like 30 minutes then drinking another ounce?

Do you feel any nausea when you eat any other foods, or just the Protein shakes?

Are you taking a PPI or any other type of antacid? Also make sure that you are getting your fluids even if you can't get your protein.

i just started Prilosec yesterday. They said it may take 4 days to get relief.

I'm going to try the red Gatorade they gave me in the hospital. I was able to get that down right after surgery. Hopefully my taste buds can still handle that but I'm feeling very weak and tired.

Just the protein shakes, or soups if i use the unflavored Unjury...I usually did drink 1-2 oz at a time...

You should get some relief much sooner than that. You might also consider chewing just one tums to see if it will help since that type of antacid takes effect right away. I would chew it, but hold it in your mouth for just a minute after chewing it before swallowing to let it dissolve better before you swallow it.

I guess one thing is to make sure that you are doing this every 30 minutes or even every 15 minutes if you can do it without getting nauseated. Just as an example, I drink the premiere protein shakes which have 30 grams of protein. If you could drink 1 oz of that every 30 minutes in 5 and 1/2 hours you could drink 1 shake, or in 11 hours you could get 60 grams of protein. It's worth it to make the steady effort to get these in if you possibly can. This will probably get better in a few weeks as you heal, and as you are able to eat more types of food.

Thank you, thank you for the ideas!!

I am 4 1/2 weeks out and can definitely do powdered milk in my milk! I NEVER would have thought of that! Excellent! I do eat eggs, cheese, meat. I honestly cannot tolerate any Protein drinks and the Protein Bars are all too sweet AND loaded with carbs! I'm not a carb fanatic but 40 grams in one bar OMG! Not happening.

I didn't pay enough attention to this post. One of the foods that I thought was most efficient for getting protein is very thin sliced turkey. I would lay a few slices on a plate, then put part of a slice of cheese, then a few more slices on the stack, then another part of a slice of cheese, etc. Microwave that until the cheese melts, then eat it very slowly. It's still one of my favorite things to eat.

Also, costco sells frozen turkey burgers that are very tasty.

I'll try the turkey slices and cheese

And I'm not suggesting that you do that. I misunderstood what you said. I thought you were saying that you could take in that much without being nauseated.

Hopefully the nausea will pass soon.
