Protein shakes

[Nikki412]

I am 4 days post op I'm doing good with liquids but the thought of drinking a protein shake makes me literally gag...I'm getting in my vitamins and drinks but just not the important protein. Does anyone have any suggestions?

try fortifying milk with Marvel instead, add protein to yoghurt, or make protein ice cream? are any of those any good? Or add protein powder to soup?

Thank u I am going to try adding a little protein to my skim milk later n work up to more and more. I hope this works. I cant believe my food aversions I feel like I did when i was 2 months prego. I honestly thought the liquid diet wld be harder than it is though it's just this protein.

I've found the first few weeks post-op is very like being newly pregnant. But it passes!
