I'm having a hard time getting in all my protein in a day.. I'm able to get down water fine but protein shakes are making me nauseated. Advice?

How far out are you? What stage?

I'm having an issue with this too - I'm still on stage 2 liquids 2 weeks post op and I'm living off plenty of water, jello, broth and Greek yogurt but I can barely make through an 11 oz premier shake which would typically hold 30 grams of protein. I don't feel nauseated by it - just can't bear the taste and I tried other shakes and this is by far the best. I feel great but I'm on the fence at not getting enough protein.

I'm 9 days out. Pureed stage.

When I was on Clear Liquids I ate a lot of Soup (ProtiDiet tomato basil and creamy chicken), and drank/ate over crushed ice ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates. Fortunately, I was able to drink premier Protein.

When I was on full liquids I added cottage cheese and Greek yogurt to the mix.

I also liked the GNC Lean 25 orange cream flavor shakes.

Keep trying different brands and flavors. You've got to get in your protein.

okay, 11 ounces for 30 grams is not the best there is by far. Try Syntrax products. dont buy premade, they always taste worse. I suggest the syntrax sample pack at www.s103.com the fruit flavors are just awesome. use Water or if you need to use unsweetened decaf iced tea, use 1 % , skim or unsweetened almond milk with the sweets like chocolate and vanilla etc. I get 30 grams of Protein in 5 to 6 ounces of liquid. you can find my taste test videos in the video section or by clicking on my name etc.

personally the fuzzy navel ( peach) lemonade and iced tea are awesome, and i pretty much live on the Cappuccino. which i mix with 1% milk and 3 or 4 ice cubes, then blend and instant iced coffee drink! Also dont drink so fast. slow and stead wins the race.

I'm new to this app, where's the video page??

There are loads of ways to get good Protein in. If you eat meat, poach a chicken breast, then puree it. Thin it down with low sodium chicken broth.

GENEPRO (which I am not a fan of) and Isopure make unflavored whey. I add it to Soups, coffee, tea, veg. broth, yogurt, etc.... 1 Scoop of Isopure is 26gms of protein. I think there's another brand of unflavored whey, but I can't recall it. I also like Isopoure teas in the RTD bottles. One bottle is 40gms of protein and that counts towards your Fluid intake. I split one bottle into thirds and add it to my 20 Water bottles. 3 of those a day and I've gotten in my fluids AND a good portion of my protein.
