Im the same and the just the thought of them makes my stomach turn. My problem is that i can get a great variety of them either. Making them with water helps a bit but its just the yukky sweetness thats killing me.

I hear ya !!! I'm 6 months post op and not very fond of them either but they are the best form of protein. Can you maybe change flavors or brands ?? Warning - don't even look at the protein shots they are absolutely discusting !!!! My doc wants me to have minimum 64 grams of protein daily, now that I am on regular food I do get more protein from food and will eliminate the shakes all together soon. Milk (low fat), Cottage cheese, yogurt, nuts, beans etc. are all high in protein. But you are only 2.5 weeks post op so probably still on liquid right? To get a extra bang I would make my shake with low fat milk to have some extra protein. Hang in there sweetie, the protein is a must to maintain health/nutrition and hair !!!

If you are at or when you get to the softer stage and can have yogurt. I have been mixing the low fat greek yogurt with with about a tablespoon of sugar free pudding mix and a scoop of unflavored protein powder. I really like "eating" the protein instead of just drinking it.

the unflavored can be put into so man things.

I have gotten the unflavored unjury and sythrax makes a medical unflavored. and neither of these seem to alter the taste of what ever i put it in. You can even put it into warm things like soup or coffee as long as the temp is below 130.

I am pre op so defiantly take my advice with a grain of salt.

Adding some Peanut Butter has totally changed my Protein drinks. I use milk, chocolate Protein Powder, a small scoop of peanut butter and a couple of ice cubes and blend it together. I have one of the bullet blenders and it is easy and mixes pretty well. It ends up tasting more like a milkshake and very yummy.
