Did anyone else have a problem with the Protein shakes after surgery? For some reason they are making me gag

I did with the unflavored one. By like a week out I could not drink it anymore and it makes me sick thinking of it. I was an avid Protein shake drinker before so they are still my go to thing 4 weeks post op.

For about a week.

Try " Premier Protein" drinks. You can get them at costco and Sams. Sam's is about $19 for 12. They taste great chocolate or vanilla. They have 30 grams Protein. Once I started drinking these I won't go to any other.

I can't stand them, so I use a powder to make Protein balls and then eat the rest of my protein to make my goal for the day. It is doable without over eating, but not many people do it.

The only one I can say I had a problem with was unjury-strawberry flavor. It was the third flavor of theirs I'd tried. I liked the vanilla and chocolate just fine........but the strawberry almost made me hurl.

I did notice that some of the shakes didn't appeal to me immediately post op as well as the did pre-op.

I believe the reason was that post-op i was sipping very slowly. The flavor of things really had time to be noticed. Any type of aftertaste was not appreciated. I found I liked Chike powder and Premier pre-mixed the absolute best.

Once I began foods again it was the same way.

I couldn't stand then or now anything that is greasy, overly sweet or any type of contrived flavor that lingers around. Sorta hard to describe. I've tried some fried food since then and it tasted horrible.

Costco has 18 for $19 until the end of the month.

If I use milk or almond milk with my Protein shake, I gag. They are way too thick and slimy.

Now I use Quest Protein Powder, some ice cubes and diet soda (flattened). It lightens up the shake, making it yummy, yummy, yummy.

Sometimes I will add some fresh frozen fruit.

I use Syntrax chocolate truffles Protein powder mixed with unsweetened coconut milk. It's thin and smooth and taste amazing
