I am one week post op and am having difficulty drinking protein shakes, they make me nauseous. I can do broth, but am worried about getting enough protein in. Any suggestions?

Jay Robb Egg White protein powder is great, try it...standard flavors..choc, vanilla, strawberry and unflavored. Does not taste like protein. I couldn't stomach the protein taste. I love this stuff.

Honestly, I just figure they are supposed to make me nauseous. I've grown to like that feeling a bit as I know I won't want to eat anything else and I'm getting my protein in! Once I passed the they make me gag stage the nauseous stage was great!

I am 10 days post op and I am having the same problem, protein shakes make me nauseous. Did you try the egg protein powder and did it help? How did you overcome the nauseous stage? How are you now?
