Protein drinks make me want to hurl!

[Saturatedbygrace 4]

Before the surgery I had no problems with the Protein drinks expect using the whey powder I instantly got so sick I couldn't get out of bed. However, the Muscle Milk Lite was great. Now the one sip and gag. I am a just a few days away from being able to do soft scrambled eggs which I feel will help me. I think I am over the drinking my dinner... lol and the sweetness is overbearing. I would like to do more chicken flavored Protein but the smell makes me sick. I feel like my stomach is super sensitive since the surgery.

I feel very weak but I am sure it's from the lack of protein. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I went through the same issue after surgery, suddenly no Protein shakes/drinks/mixes worked (I tried every brand, all made me ill). I gagged at the mere scent. What got me through to the solid food stage was Fat-free Fairlife milk (they sell it everywhere now). It is milk that is ultra-filtered to remove both the lactose and most of the sugar, and then fortified with additional protein and Calcium. I usually mixed sugar free strawberry or chocolate Syrup to have it cold, or heated it up and added diet hot cocoa mix.

Thank you BarrySue! Glad to hear I'm not alone with this issue!

I can only stomach little jugs of Fairlife milk. They're delish!

I had the strawberry sorbet Unjury before surgery and loved it. Now, no way! Same with the Premier ones.
