What shakes have you tried? Is it the smell, taste, or texture, or volume that gives you difficulties?

If it is the smell, try sipping from something with a lid.

If it is the volume, try taking smaller sips.

If it is the taste or texture, try some different shakes.

Have you tried:

Premier Protein?

Syntrax nectar?

ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates?

I am currently on Premier. I was drinking then before and now I just want to puke.

It's very common for your taste to change following surgery.

What flavor do you have of the premier? Try adding some S/f syrups to change the flavor. I added raspberry or a little PB2 to the chocolate. Mix it up a little

Temperature can make it easier/harder, too. I liked mine REALLY cold, so I blended the Premier shakes with a little ice to make them lighter in texture and colder. I still have a hard time drinking RTD Protein shakes straight out of the carton.

If it is the "sweet" factor you are having trouble with, Unjury makes a chicken soup flavored one that is pretty good. Or you could try adding unflavored powders to broth - just make sure the broth isn't any hotter than 140 degrees - or the protein will clump up and be yucky.

Everything made me want to puke for about a week after surgery. Zofran was a life saver for me - do you have any? In the early days the best I could do for Protein some days was fairlife milk. But again only with zofran in my system.
