SCARED!

I am one week post op tomorrow. I cannot stomach the protein anymore. I have tried everything, searched the web for recipes tried several different ones and all I can do is gag. I cannot get enough liquids in either. I cannot go to the doctor until Wednesday since tomorrow is a Holiday. I do not know what to do. I am feeling hungry because I can't get anything to go in. I am not nauseous, I just can't stand the taste anymore. I am on full liquids right now. My doctor requires 1-2 week full liquids before purée and I will not do much better on that because I don't eat anything that is mixed......soups, etc. just can't and never have been able to stomach that. I figured I would be ok once I could have real protein such as eggs, oatmeal, etc but right now I am very worried. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I'm now 3+ months post-op. I had a break down about 2 weeks out due to my loathing of protein. (It was ridiculous: crying and a tantrum.) My advice, and I mean this respectfully: Man up. Protein is es

    First you'll have to dissolve the jello powder in boiling water (only use 1/2 the amount of water) then mix protein powder with the other 1/2 of room temp water. Wait like 5 minutes or so for the boi

Great! I hope you like it. Best wishes!

I'm still Pre-op till Monday (The 8th) I found something called Pocket Protein, It's 20grams of protein for 2oz and taste a lot like a 5hr Energy shot which is not too bad. I tried the unflavored Unjury and it was disgusting couldn't do it.

Check the ingredients, if it says Collagen protein my NUT says do not take because the body is only able to absorb about 30% of the protein so you would not be getting the 20 g.

It also has Whey Protein Isolate in it...
