Post op liquid phase

I am having the roughest time with this liquid diet and protein. I have tried the unflavored protein in tomato soup and haven't made it past the first little taste. Can someone please help me and give me pointers on what I can do? I haven't even been able to drink my protein shakes I did prepping. What is going on?

It's not the cheapest alternative but I have been mixing equal parts of Isopure Zero Carb with Powerade Zero and Water. I then give it lots of Ice. It gets me to my Protein requirements for they day and 24+ oz of liquid.

I used ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrate, undiluted over ice, early (and later diluted as I could increase my fluids). My surgeon also allowed ProtiDiet tomato basil and creamy chicken soups. Premier Protein was allowed for me during clear liquids and I also used GNC lean shake 25 during my full liquid phase. Just keep trying. Getting in all your protein and fluid is very important for healing.

I have been using genepro a full serving is 30g of protein or something like that. Its flavorless and odorless. You have to get it on amazon though. It will come in handy when you start your pureed stage. It helps expand the variety of food you can eat.

I feel for you. Just know you are not alone. The first 6 months post-surgery can be tough when it comes to hydration, protein, and vitamins. I was not very successful. Many fluids and food made me nauseated. The good news is it was temporary. At about month 6-7 it became much easier. Do the best you can and don't beat yourself up. Your body will adjust in time.

Try lean body protein shakes, they have 40g of protein and 0g sugar. It also comes in vanilla, chocolate , and strawberry. You can by online or the vitamin shoppe i do know.

Have you tried Unjury Chicken Soup Flavor (made with water)? I find it quite tasty and less filling than protein shakes.
