Help with Protein 'shots'

Hear things are disgusting! How do you manage to get them down? So far I've only tried orange-pineapple and fruit punch.

    I went to GNC and bought ISOPURE. It is a clear drink with 40 grams of protein. They have really good flavors.

    I thought we couldn't take big drinks?

My NUT said to avoid them since their protein source is extremely poor and your body doesn't digest it so it basically is a waste of money and calories

So how am I supposed to get my protein in when I'm on clear liquids?

I was allowed to have skim milk!! And I still drink it now 20 days out I mix my protein and drink it first thing I the morning!!

Usually clear liquids includes protein drinks and shakes.

I can't stand Isopure, but it could he because I associate it with the hospital.

My surgeon recommended New Whey Liquid Protein. It has 42 grams but he told me to split it into two servings due to absorption. And still get 70-100 grams per day. Then after the first week I can move on to powder/milk combo. These things are disgusting. The grape flavor tastes like feet soaking in raisin juice. I don't think I can do this until Friday.

Some people have added half to a bottle of flavored Water...to water it down.

I just slam it and have a water chaser the second the tube leaves my lips. Otherwise I gag.

For clear liquids try Syntrax Nectar

If your referring to my post about slamming it,...I am 7 momths out next week. My swallows are normal sized now.

I like isuchick4, use the nectar. Not sure if GNC sells it but Vitamin shoppe has it in stock if there is a Vitamin Shoppe where you are at.

After surgery I did not really have a desire for milk, so all my protien I mix with Water.

nice thing about nectar is it has no carbs or sugar. I recently got the cappucino and mix it with decaf coffee.

ProtiDiet makes a clear liquid Protein "juice". I love the cranberry tea, blue raspberry, and Kiwi Melon.

My NP told me about these this week but I figured if advance to the nest stage or shakes before they came in. Do you think I should go ahead and order anyway to have on hand? Tomorrow starts stage 2.
