Protein!

Oh man, I was in your boat only a few weeks ago. Loved all my protiens before surgery, the taste of whey made me yak after. I finally wound up resorting to Carnation No Sugar Added. The good news is... Amazon.com has the Carnation No Sugar Added in VANILLA!!  You get 3 or 4 boxes at a time for cheaper than what it costs at Krogers. (always a great thing)
As for click...yes it's GREAT, but check your Dr's recomendations first, as it IS made with espresso. It has caffiene in it, and many of our docs don't want us having it for x amount of time. If he/she has no probs with it, Amazon.com also sells it, for cheaper than you'll get it on the click site. AND at $20 on the Amazon site, you only need $5 on your order to qualify for the Free Super Saver shipping.  The Amazon warehouse is located in Hebron KY, which is about 45 min drive from me, so you'd be getting 1-2 day shipping for FREE.  The click site, however DOES have samples. I think it's $2.99 for a sample. 
Another $ saver, if you go to GNC, sign up for the gold card. It costs, I think, $25 for a year membership, BUT, you save a small amount on every purchase, PLUS...the first week of every month, you get....I think, 25% off. 

If all else fails, try to do milk, cheese, and yogurt throughout the day to try to pack as much in as possible. I'm now at 4 months and can drink most of my protien drinks again, as long as they're not overly sweet. So hopefully the EEEWWW feeling will pass for you too.

I was the same way so I feel your pain.  I did the protein mix from St. Vs (milk with added powdered milk) and flavored it with sf jello pudding.  There are tons of flavors.  My favorite was butterscotch.  I would make up the milk and store it in the fridge then flavor each time I drank some.  You can heat it too and add chicken or beef bullion to it when you don't want something sweet.  Beans were (and still are) my main source of protein. 

Hang in there and good luck!

You may also want to try bodybuilding.com.  they have many different flavors.  I have no problems doing their protein.  I love the mocha cappincino and the chocolate mint.  Orange tastes like dreamcycles.  I do not care for the root beer or the apple pie.  I just order a strawberry and banana yesterday.  We will see if I will like it.
