The shakes tend to be very thick. I did not like them and when I need to supplement my Protein, I use Unjury chicken broth protein. It gives you 21g of protein and 100 calories. It goes down a lot better than a thick shake. The only down side is you have to be 140 degrees or less because it tends to clump if too hot.

You can add milk to the shake to thin it out, and adds Protein.

Or Water, to make it even thinner.

@Tony B- NJ thank you very much I will definitely look into that. && @ Kcuster83 I’ve tried the milk and it gave me the same results. I will try using Water to make it thinner because I am able to hold water and Gatorade zero down.

Definitely normal, some things just don't sit well immediately post-op. I liked the Protein waters much better than the shakes in those early days. Protein2o comes in bottles or single serve powder that you just mix with Water. Maybe give those a shot?

Many people here talk about not being able to tolerate the Protein Shakes, but I had no issues with them. Like others said, maybe you could Water them down or try a different brand or a pre-made shake instead of a powdered shake. sugar-free popsicles count as liquid. So does sugar-free Jello.

I was ok with shakes right after surgery but not all the same flavors. I loved premier chocolate peanutbutter and I can't stand it now after surgery. It gags me. I am still ok with plain chocolate but so tired of them. I just tried Fairlife today, and it was ok. They are both adequate. I don't think I like or hate one more than the other but just force myself to drink 1 a day until I can eat some more to meet my Protein goals.

I just got off the phone with my nutritionist which has been trying to help me as well. With you guys help and my nutritionist I mixed the Water and Protein Shake and it made it much better and I also did a fat free milk and Premier Protein mix that also seems to go down smoothly. I thank you all because I started out a little rough in the hospital I had a 3 night stay I was vomiting everything that entered me. It means a lot to me that you all responded. I’m an emotional person sorry lol.

I had my surgery on 4/26. I've been doing ok. But today I have been wanting to eat something. It's like I want to feel food when chewing 🤷🏼‍♀️ Does this ease up. I'm only on liquids right now. I start Protein Drinks next week.

I’m on purée right now my surgery was 4/11 and I still want to chew. It hasn’t eased up for me. Just take it one day at a time. I find it helpful to talk it out because it gets the best of me some days more than other days. I didn’t realize how emotional this journey would be but you learn that you’re stronger than food and the urges that you have. But you got this and if you ever need a cheerleader I’m here for you.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
