problem with protein intake

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone can give me some advice please.

I'm 13 days post op and following my surgeons advice for a fluid diet. She says that I should be drinking 2 milk powder shakes a day. Although I do not have a problem with milk, the skimmed milk powder I have to add to this makes me gag. I can manage a couple of sips and no more.

Is there anything else I can try? I am not due to see my surgeon until 20 April. The advice I've been given seems to conflict with other advice I've seen and heard. i.e. fluid diet for four weeks??

I would be grateful for any help.

Thanks, Erica

I buy the GNC baran protein choc anywhey I can eat it right out of the jug it is yummy I mix mine with water could never do it with milk but try it if you dnt like it any GNC you buy & dnt like you can take it back they will give your money back

I used the Isopure and added it to crystal lite and then I could drink it and the shakes I added sugar free suryps to them. and they tasted better.  you have to just play around until you find things you can tolerate..
