How to get protein in first week out?

[cjd2010 30]

Any ideas. Took a sip of a Protein Shake and feel awful!

The first week out (clear liquids) I used ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrate (undiluted, over crushed ice, with a spoon) a lot. I was also allowed Premier Protein and ProtiDiet creamy chicken and Tomato basil Soups as an exception to the clear rule by my surgeon. I know a lot of people like the Isopure RTD. You just have to keep sipping. Take small sips, almost drips, at first and keep at it. It gets easier.

My surgeon told me to focus on fluids and gradually add in Protein. He actually said my goal was 50 grams, but do not expect to hit it until around the one month mark and I didn't. As I am sure you are aware, there are a million (well, really not that many) types of Protein and unfortunately you will have to continue trying them until you find one you can tolerate because it's nearly impossible to get your required protein from just food. I would say I tried between 6-7 before I settled on the chocolate AMP from GNC. The nice thing about GNC is their return policy. You can return ANYTHING you don't like with no questions asked, whether it has been opened/used or not. Good luck!

@cjd2010 Here's a great way to get in your Protein as well as your Water, which has electrolytes. Just go to their website drinkprotein2o.com and under store locator put in your zip code to find out where they sell it your city. You can also buy it on their website or Amazon. I've been buying them at a gas station and just today saw them at Walmart. Of course they only had the wild cherry and grape flavors. The 2 I've tried are berry and Grape Splash and they taste really good. I drink 1 per day even at 6 months out!
