HELP! Protein shake dilemma.

[allamericanguy80 0]

Im not able to get my Protein Shakes down. They make me so uncomfortable. Im 8 days post op and im not able to meet my goal. Dr told me yesterday i need to get at least partial to pass me to the next stage. I take a sip and i have a discomfort and then i have to raise my arms. Then i wait 10 min to drink again and then it happens all over. Adding the powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powder only makes it thicker and worse...any suggestions?

I had similar problems which my Dr helped me resolve . He gave me one of those little plastic dosage cups that come with cold medicine. He had me start by filling it to the half ounce line and drinking only that much then set a timer for 5 minutes. When the timer went off another half ounce. I did that all day. I got in my required liquids and foods by the end of the day. Yeah its a pain in the patootie but once you get thru a couple of days you then proceed to one ounce every 5 minutes. By the time a few days have passed you are normally doing a lot better and can then go to sips. I would just put my shake on a blue ice wrapped in a towel to keep it cold and sit it by my chair or bed and the timer it was convenient so I didn't have to run to the kitchen every 5 minutes and I was able get in the shakes etc. I also could not stand the unjury powder. I did use the chicken broth powder in deviled eggs to punch up the flavor and the Protein. But on it's own I thought it was yucky. I prefer the 100 calorie 5 grams of carbs Muscle Milk than any other brand. I still use them by the way and I am 5 years out.

I walked circles around my house. It seemed to loosen things up and the liquid would go down

Have you tried any of the Protein waters?
