Today I am two weeks post op and am on puréed. However, I still need at least two Protein shakes a day for me to hit my protein goal. I guess since I've been on liquids for three weeks now (one pre-op), every single Protein shake makes me gag. And the ones that I can actually get down are too high in calories and low in protein. I've tried unflavored Protein powder in Soups and broths but the taste of that makes me sick too.

Any ideas on how to get my protein in? Either with puréed or some miracle drink?

I hate Protein shakes, too. Early on I decided I would try to eat four Greek yogurts a day (15 grams each) if I have to in order to avoid Protein Shakes. I no longer have to do it because I am 8 weeks out, but I did do it some days. But you could eat Greek yogurt and cottage cheese and do pretty well.

I hate protein drinks! But the two I could tolerate were Iconic and Coco Libre with protein. They're thinner and taste great. I get them at Spouts. I don't get in all my protein and I'm fine. Do your best. Don't stress. Good luck. ❤️

I am 11 days post op and what I have found is...

1 Flavored Greek yogurt

1-2oz of water or milk

2 scoops unflavored unjury protein powder

Blended together

=54 grams of protein it's about 10oz to drink and I do not taste the protein

I actually just tried something very similar but that sounds much easier! Thanks!

I use Isopure, (GNC stores)

I like it because it's no carb, no sugar and very thin which goes down easily and tastes great.

loved them especially when I was just weeks out of surgery when it's hard to get down anything thick.

My faves are Dutch chocolate and vanilla flavor.

I do coffee Protein shake, and it's tastes like a Starbucks frappaccino! Hello!

What I do is blend two scoops of vanilla protein powder with coffee and ice,

Yummy!
