Protein help!

Hi guys. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for getting my protein in. Ever since my surgery I haven't been able to stomach any protein shakes. I've tried Atkins, Unjury, Premier Protein, Isopure Zero Carb protein waters. I can't handle any of them. I'm in puréed stage. I've tried drinking out of a cup with a lid as my NUT thought it might be a heightened sense of smell making it difficult to get the shakes down. Everything I try is just overwhelming taste and smell of protein. I need to be getting it somehow and I'm at a loss.

  • I agree with @JosieAppleHead. I use the Isopure unflavored powder and add it soups and beverages. If not, then start seeking out high protein foods and yogurts instead.

  • EAS carb control is the only one I am able to tolerate. It's 11oz for 17g of Protein and thats the main drawback...you have to drink more to get it all in. But they taste a lot better and I can drink

I was having a hard time a few days ago and found that putting it over ice helped cause it thinned it out. Hope you find something that works for you.

Try adding the unflavored unjury kind to grits or Soup try the powder kind. I couldn't do any thing but Syntax nectar they sell the individual packs at Vitamin Shoppe see how you like them with the milk you drink I started with the Lactose free fat free milk from Walmart now I use almond milk 30 calories with my Syntax has no after taste or smell.

Like @@JosieAppleHead I can only do the Syntax Nectar, but the fruit flavored ones. They are mixed with water (I am lactose intolerant) and I put them over ice so they are super cold.

I find that the powders make a tastier shake. I'm loving Tera's Whey dark chocolate and the vanilla too! They aren't sickly sweet and I find that they have less of that protein smell.
