Protein Intake Help

I was sleeved on 9/5, still on only liquids, and have not hit my required daily 60g of protein since surgery. I currently drink Premier shakes, but can only get a few sips in before I get this weird chest pain and give up trying to drink it. I'm not sure what's wrong with me. Any tips on on how to meet my protein requirement while still in the liquid stage?

I'm having the same problem with the shakes. I'm 4 days post op and I was finally able to finish one 11 0z shake. Took me the entire day to drink it. I get the same chest pains drinking water or anything else for that matter.

Try varying temperatures. I found that some days the water needed to be ice cold not to hurt. Other days, it had to be room temp. Somedays, warm. Experiment. That chest pain will go away. Be patient.
