I'm feeling pretty good, still struggling to get my protein in. Every other day I try the shake again thinking they aren't that bad...I get halfway through and start gagging.

As for liquids...any of you have any problem when drinking? Anytime I take a sip my stomach hurts for about 3 min. afterwards. It feels like too much pressure, very uncomfortable and weird.

Anyways...have a great weekend all and take care

Just checking in, wanted to see how everyone is doing?

I'm averaging about 4-600 calories and about 50g of protein...still trying...I've lost about 14 pounds since my surgery date. Most of the pain is gone but I still have some periodic nausea. Having trouble eating my food slowly (which is probably contributing to the nausea).

I really like "Inspire":
1 scoop cinnamon Latte, 4oz water =30 gram protein
or
1 scoop carmel latte, 4oz water =30g protein

I also use "Pure" 1 scoop is 14g protein I add this to cream of wheat or soup.

Topic: RE: Protein

I am deff  gonna have to make a trip to GNC tomorrow, I just can't stomach the protein powder anymore. I started out with strawberry muscle milk has like 30 grams of protein, and at first it tasted good, but after the first week, it left a nasty taste in my mouth that I couldn't get ride of, not even after brushing my teeth, so I started on a protein powder my father in law gave me from Amway, that is a lil better, its unflavored so I put it in milk and add half a pack of sweet n low and its ok, just 18 grams of protein, once again leaves a powder taste in my mouth,not too bad,which is better then the yuck mouth the Muscle milk gave me LOL

I got an isopure off the menu at the hospital. I took a sip and it didn't taste too bad. A lot of the flavors get a lot of flack.

I bought some yesterday but haven't had the stomach to try it yet... just the fear of a protein aftertaste makes my stomach queasy. I'm gonna have to suck it up and try it though, it cost me $11.00 for 6 8oz. bottles. Upon refrigeration the consistency seems to be syrupy...have you found that to be true? Ugh...

So, someone suggested I go to GNC and get Isopure in the bottles. I went yesterday and this may save me! Each 20 oz bottle has 40g of protein, zero carbs, only 160 calories. It doesn't taste bad or good to me and is certainly tolerable. This might just help me make it through this liquid stage and onward. It is pretty expensive. $4.69 per bottle, was on sale for $3.29 per bottle and I bought 12 (a case) so I got another 20% off, making them about $2.65 per bottle. Just thought I would share...
