Help Can't tolerate the Protein Shakes - worried about Post-OP

[MSMOM3 0]

I've been put on a two week pre-op liquid diet. I haven't been able to tolerate the Protein shakes. I've bought and tried them all. Makes me very ill. I want to be healthy and I worry about my nutrition. In fact, that is my number one concern is my nutrition. I am nauseous, not hungry and don’t even want clear broth. However, I am getting in my Water. This is going on day 7. I’m very worried that I won’t be able to get in all my Protein after the surgery. Has anyone else experienced this?

New whey makes a liquid Protein that comes in many different flavors. It has 42 grams of Protein in a lil 3.8 oz bottle. I mix mine with flavored Water or propel. Good luck to you!!!!

Are you doing pre made or powder it can make a difference. I am doing Pure Pro 50 drinks they are thicker than others I tried. I didn't do any Protein Drinks before my surgery did G2 and chicken broth mostly and lost 21lbs before surgery.

Have you tried Syntrax nectar yet? They come in fruit flavors and are thin rather than thick. It's the only brand I use now.

Also- you can add unflavored powder to Jello or sugar free pudding and you won't even notice it. (Both count as liquids)

Have you tried Protein waters. I just found one it is called Protein2o. It comes in several different favors you can get it online at http://www.drinkprotein2o.com they seem reasonable in price. Veritity Pack is about $23.99 for 12 bottles 16.9oz with 15 g Protein.
