what have you been trying ?
I personally had the same problem and found that in the beginning the only thing I could do is Carnation Instant Breakfast - sugar free - in skim milk with a scoop of beneprotein in it.
I did fidn that I like Chike too !
how about the greek yogurt ? I personally didn't like it but it's a great source of protein - of course be sure any of these suggestions are on your plan.......
Good luck !
It takes a while to get the right protein shake for you!!!!! I have tried many out there!!!
My favorite is CHIKE from chikenutrition.com... they sell samples
also love Click that can be bought on amazon.com
What are you mixing the shakes with??? maybe the milk is making you sick?? maybe try water instead.. or if using water maybe mill with be better tasting... I mix all my shakes with milk or ice coffee..... but I'm 9 months out... FOLLOW YOUR DR'S RULES PLAEASE!!!
how about trying a protein bars???
my surgeon's rules for right now (stage II diet) are cottage cheese, i can have yogurt...so i've been eating the greek yogurt, soft fruits, soft veggies,
i guess it's the pureed to soft stage
i've tried nectar, i've tried chike, i've tried the GNC pro performance (which was FINE during my 2 week preop diet)

Hi there -
I have a hard time getting my protein in...most shakes (even Chike) do not agree with me. Here is what works for me: Myoplex Lite Chocolate (premixed - walmart, supermarkets) tastes like chocolate milk with no smell; Nectar - fuzzy navel - really good - no smell or aftertaste; Click mocha - I actually look forward to it.
Please know that we all struggle with this. Hang in there.....

I also made "hot chocolate" with SF Carnation Instant Breakfast and 2 cups of milk (to thin it out and add extra protein). I still drink this EVERY day. :)

I had surgery from the same doctor in September and I had the same problem but forced myself to get the protein in and did exactly as Lisa suggested. I would use the CIB sugar free and I added unlfavored unjury protien. You should have the greek yogurt if you like it as it gives you 18gms of protien, I would use the plain and put splenda and mash some banana up and I really enjoyed this. Another thing have you made smoothies, if you use the unflavored protien, milk, fuit (I liked strawberries and bananas) and some splenda, when I made it this way I was unable to taste or smell the protien. Do you go to the support groups?
You can email me if you would like to talk.
