Any 8/14 patients?

I just had the gastric bypass this past Wednesday as well as gall bladder removal. This is my first day home and I was able to get in all my vitamins. Been sipping liquids all day. The only thing I'm having trouble with is getting in the protein!! How come nobody told me it would smell so terrible?? Today I tried Nectars Vanilla Bean Torte, Optisource strawberry, Isopure alpine punch and passion fruit(which this is my fave so far) and a pure protien shot that's 42g in 3.8 oz of liquid. The taste on most has been tolerable but the smell is really getting to me! Does anyone have suggestions on some that are better to get down smell wise?

I had surgery in Wednesday also and I came home Friday and I can't come close to getting in all my protein. It's not that it smells bad to me, it's just I get so full and feel miserable. I'm gonna call my nutritionist tomorrow to see if she ha any tips.

I had my surgery on 8/13 and I'm not allowed to touch anything but clear liquids for the first week. It's so hard to get all that liquid down I can't imagine adding protein too. Good luck and I hope you find something good!
