Had no issue with them pre-op, but now I can't stand them. I have no issue with milk or water. This has been the first trouble food I've had. I've tried 2 different kinds and I'm waiting for my syntrax nectar to show up. I'm worried about getting 60g of protein in daily now. I'm 4 days post-op, so my choices are very limited.

Could you now be lactose intolerant? Have you tried drinking just a glass of milk? Its very common after surgery

Also 4 days out dont stress to much about the 60 grams just sip water protein water protein....I was doing about 40 grams at 4 days and that was work lol can you have greek yogurt or cottage cheese?

Milk hasn't bothered me, I can tolerate mixing carnation instant breakfast in milk just fine. I'm thinking of only using half a scoop of protein next time. It was the consistency and the smell. I can have Greek yogurt but no cottage cheese (which I would love to have).

I used vanilla Unjury protein powder in soymilk with about 2 tsp Folger's freeze-dried decaffeinated coffee crystals. The coffee covered the smell and taste for me. I also drank Zero Calorie Isopure ready-to-drink coconut drinks. 20 oz have 40 grams of protein. I liked the coconut flavor, but some people like the fruit flavors.

I'll have to look into the isopure, I've heard they are good. They don't taste weird, do they?

You can try different proteins at a local GNC...that's how I finally decided in unjury unflavored...I think they all taste weird. For me it's a matter if which one I can mask easiest.

I found the one! Syntrax Nectar Lattes: Cappuccino. I put it on ice and it's just like an iced coffee. I still need a kid to cover the smell but I can stomach it.
