I have been drinking Meal Replacement shakes for almost a month now, and I am getting to the point where the thought of drinking another makes me nauseous. I am only 2 weeks post-op and know I need the Protein.....any suggestions>>

I kno its horrible but getting sick now so soon after surgery is even worse ..ur body has been through major trauma .and it needs all the proteins and supplements to heal ..its only for another few weeks ..uve come this far ????

I totally understand! I've been struggling with the same thing. I started Protein shakes 6 weeks pre-op, and am now 2+ weeks post-op. I can only get through about half a shake before I have to throw it out, because it is no longer appealing. My doc put me on mushy foods this week, and I've been so thankful to be able to change it up a bit. I still try to drink a Protein Shake on my way to work in the morning. As my nutritionist said to me as I was getting sick of it pre-op, think of it as medicine. It is a necessary means to an end. I try not to taste it when I drink it.

Wow. I suggest varying things up a bit.

I've been drinking Protein shakes daily (sometimes twice a day) for well over a year now. Luckily, my premier Protein Shakes still taste great to me and I consider them a huge part of the success I've had thus far.

Hopefully you can find some that you like and don't have to consider them the enemy as I think this is going to be a long journey without them.

Try mixing shake flavors (I mix caramel pretzel with chocolate) or adding a banana and/or a very small dollop of peanut butter. It makes a huge difference in the flavor!
