jenlen 58 Posted June 24, 2013 I am 5 weeks out and still not able to tolerate shakes ( I've switched from reg skim milk to almond milk and it helps a little). My best option was using unflavored Protein in the chicken broth. Just need to make sure the broth is less than 140 degrees before adding powder or it will curdle. Everyone is different. Some ppl seem to have no prob with shakes post op.....I'm not one of them though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heyher 581 Posted June 24, 2013 Try small sips spaced out. If you are drinking thicker shakes too much at one time may upset your tiny stomach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nanaspez 58 Posted June 24, 2013 Try making them with more liquid. I also had the same problem for a long time. At Walmart they have a liquid whey Protein mix it with Water and freeze. Then eat ice chips all day long. This way you get some protein with liquid. The whole tube is I think 42 gr of protein, I would divide it into 3 servings, makes it easier to track protein in ice chips! Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
