I can stomach yogurt, Fairlife milk, cottage cheese. But cannot stand the shakes anymore. Is this sufficient?

Add up the amount of Protein you're getting...

Is it sufficient?

Compare that to the calories you're consuming...

Is your total staying under or around the mark your nutritionist set?

Sure, you can get enough protein into you by just consuming dairy products...

But is there any point to doing that if it's taking 2500 cal a day to do so?

Perhaps you'll just have to suck it up and do your shakes until such time as you can eat some fish or chicken...

Yep, the shakes can suck...

But it's not forever..

And being fat is so much worse..

The point is to get at least 60 - 100 gms of Protein a day. If you can get that through food then you are fine. I would call the nutritionist and speak with her to try and brain storm how this can best be done for you. I would also suggest trying the unflavored Protein powder. By adding it to the foods you are currently eating you may be okay. I also like adding it to Soup or broth. In fact the only way I survived my all liquids phase was 2 Protein shakes and then soup with protein powder in the evening for dinner. I needed that savory break in the evenings.

I havn't been able to stomach Protein shakes since 2 weeks post op. I am now 4 months out. Yes you can get the protein in without shakes. Are you in the pureed stage? If so try getting GENEPRO unflavored protein. You can add it to anything to be able to get your protein in. Also I follow the rule of every snake or meal has to be atleast 10grams of protein. So if you are following the eat 6 times a day that is 60grams of protein.

try Isopure Protein drink they come in a lot of flavors with some being zero carbs and all having 40 grams of protein

How far out from surgery are you?

While I was on clear and full liquids, I like the ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates. They taste better to me than Isopure.

You might also want to try bone broth. My NUT said that bine broth has more Protein than regular broth.

While on liquids, it's hard to get enough protein without using supplements, but it gets easier as you progress to more solid foods.
