I tried premiere nutrition it was pre-made and wasn't too bad if you have a vitamin shoppe or gnc you can go and see if they have small portions or testers you can try.  Good luck you just have to look and find something that works for you.  Ask the doctor if they offer protein drinks from healthwise... they have fruity ones and vanilla, etc.  But you can only order those through a doctor

The best protein shake I've had is Carnation Instant Breakfast No Sugar Added with a scoop of BeneProtein. The BeneProtein is an unflavored protein powder so I think any brand would work.

There is a brand called Bari Wise that you can order on-line from Bariatric Choice. They are small bottles that come with the powder inside and you just add water. They come in a variety pack and taste pretty good. I also love them because they are easy to take on the go.

greek yogurt, cottage cheese, melted cheese with marinara sauce, FF milk.  These are all good sources of protein.

I drink the Syntrax Nectars.  I mix mine with FF milk.

Those are good choices but, I'd be careful with the marinara sauce as it is tomato and tomatos are acidic and could be irritating to your stomach. 

You can also try Unjury's cheese sauce which is available now for a short time and their chicken broth.  A bit of caution with Unjury products, though, keep the liquid you mix it with to 130 degrees or less otherwise it clumps up.  Outside of that, it's very good.
I hope you dance with enthusiasm... and a million other things joyful!

Travis, try sipping from a covered container, this stops the nose from sniffing the contents.  You can add dry milk powder to other things to increase the protein content.  The other soft proteins help.  Cottage cheese, fat free refried beans, greek yogurt (buy the plain, unsweetened, unflavored and sweeten/flavor it yourself with surgar free coffee syrup, crystal light powder, sugar free jello powder, extracts), turkey chili (pureed, tastes the same as out of the can!!!)
