Getting fluids down after surgery

I am having a lot of trouble getting the shakes down. I have been eating popcycles and lemonade a lot easier than the shakes.

Any ideas would be great. Thank u

What is it about the shakes? Do they taste disgusting? If you can't get it down- try various other foods. Try some yogurt, try some protein powder, and coconut water is terrific! I got so freaking bored of the post op diet within 10 days, I am making my own scrambled egg/tomato breakfasts now

GENEPRO Protein powder saved my life! It is absolutely tasteless, textureless, and can be added to anything, hot or cold. I put it in everything! Soup, Water, gatorade, you name it. It lets you eat/drink whatever you can tolerate, but you get 23g of protein in every scoop. $34 on Amazon. Get you some.

I still feel really bloated and nausea has been bad. I don't mind the shakes, I just can't get the amount of shakes down without feeling yucky.

Ask your dr if you can do protein shots, they are only 2 ounces of fluid and don't taste that bad. The one I found is called pocket protein.
