BrownieUNC 0 Posted June 8, 2008 Crystal light works well. Skim milk works well. I couldnt find any commercial chicken/beef broths that didnt taste like crap, so I bought the store out of Campbell's Won-Ton Soup - which I strain thru a strainer to get it down to just chicken broth. The biggest problem for me is Protein. My doc doesnt permit Protein shakes for 3 weeks, and the clear liquid Protein drinks all taste horrendous even though they look pretty.

Cadets71 1 Posted June 8, 2008 BrownieUNC, have you tried the Isopure Protein Drinks? I am 3 days post op and my meal plan this week includes 3 tablespoons of isopure at "dinner". I am very taste/gag sensitive but I have not had a problem with sips of the Isopure. Right now I am drinking the frosty grape. There are several flavors.
