Protein supplements make me gag!

Sorry about the title but I am 3 days post op and I've gotten to the point I can't stomach any more of the sickening sweet supplement.  I'm using Syntrax - Matrix strawberry cream.  I practically gag when I think I have to have another protein shake.  Is there an alternative protein source that you can recommend that isn't sweet tasting but is palatable?

Unjury makes a chicken broth flavor that might work.  They also have an unflavored option you can add to other things.  

I also like Optimum Nutrition Double Rich Chocolate because it's not nearly as sweet as most of the chocolate options out there.  It's a darker chocolate taste.  

The further out post op I got the more protein shakes and powders made me gag. I tried every kind possible, all flavors, unflavored, etc. It seemed like I suddenly had a hugely heightened sense of taste and smell and they all smelled like rotten meat to me! I started consuming different broths instead and knew I wasn't getting enough protein but the alternative was to throw up every time I ate. When I finally did have a blood test  it showed my protein level was normal, though.

Oh I know how you feel! I haven't found a protein shake that I can drink without gagging. I tried moving on to protein bars but getting one that tastes good and doesn't have a lot of calories is difficult. At least one you will enjoy eating over and over again.

3 days out you can get along without protien as long as your getting liquids in , you still have anastsia in your system and that will mess u your taste   give it a few more days , if you are on full liquids you can mix unflavored with broth or crystal light , ice tea , when you get to purried or soft food you can eat eggs , milk is a full liquid

I could not stand the sweet stuff either. I had the Unjury chicken soup protein supplement once a day at lunch usually and in the morning I would drown two scoops of vanilla or chocolate protein powder in 3 cups of coffee and a little almond milk. I did not have to add sweetener! And I had a protein coffee. That was my standard breakfast for close to a year and a half post op. I still have it once in a while for variety when I get sick of eggs. I also used unflavoured protein powder in foods that had a strong taste of their own so that it would kill whatever smell or taste of protein that even unflavoured powders still have. And at times I put in some sort of flavoured protein (again mostly chocolate or cappuccino or vanilla) in greek yogurt. That was rare though. But I really had to hide it under stronger flavours to be able to manage. 

Try Premier Protein the chocolate flavor! You can get them at walmart, costcos or sams club

Never could handle, flavored -unflavored.  I stayed with premier protein drink chocolate and this got me through.  

Good luck.  

I couldn't do it either.  Talked to my doctor and he cleared me for greek yogurt - haven't had a protein shake since.

I use Unjury's Chocolate Splendor, which isn't super sweet, and add 1 tsp of espresso crystals to it.  Which makes it even less sweet and like a mocha.  Love!
