Seriously. It could be the most delicious protein shake that ever existed... I still don't want it! I feel like I'm going to develop an eating disorder pretty soon because at this point I'd rather eat nothing than any more fluids. Bleh... I know I know "whine whine whine" ha ha.. alright, I'm done.

Yeah, there must over 200 shake recipes...but if you don't want a shake, you don't want a shake :w00t:! Wish I had a suggestion for you. How many days do you have left? Can you mix protein powder with anything else like pudding? Although maybe you're tired of sweet stuff. Guess the protein powder doesn't come in pizza or cheeseburger flavor...darn. Oooh, can you imagine how nasty that shake would be??

Yep, I'll say it: Hang in there!!

Good luck to you and hope you get to have some real food soon. Well, mushy , but real.

TPG

Abby I feel the same way! I haven't had a protein shake for the last few days, sorry to say. Just can't get it down, the thought of it makes me shudder, ewwww....Also can't get down another cream soup. That leaves me with popsicles and yogurt! I'm sure you are in a similar boat...

Food will come soon...its amazing how excited I am to eat tuna and egg salad at the end of the week "chopped finely" in my food processor... How times have changed!

Thanks guys. All I can eat until Thursday is protein drinks and clear liquids. Thursday I get thickened liquids so I will be able to have pudding, cream soups and yogurt. I will continue to drink the protein drinks just because I have to get my nutrition somehow, but let's just say I'm not happy about it! I suppose it's the price I have to pay, right?

Ha ha... cheeseburger flavored shake... eww. At least this process is teaching me to not take food for granted. I will cherish every bite when I can start eating real foods again!

I'm so sick of popsicles too. It's weird because I used to love them and eat them all the time, now they seem about as appetizing to me as an iceberg salad without dressing.

Try Isopure Zero Carb Protein drinks. Its 40 g protein in 20 oz bottle. They come in lots of fruit flavors, including black or green tea.

Hang in there.

I've been drinking the Isopure also. The only one I've tried is the Grape Frost. It isn't terrible. Of course, it's my first day post op so I haven't had it enough to hate it yet.
