Is anyone else having a problem with whey proteins?

I am 8 weeks post-op lap RNY. I am having a difficult time getting my protein in. I need 70 gms at least a day. I am no where near that. I am having a difficult time with all meats, except a light white fish. Even eggs are messing with me. I am having a very difficult time with whey protein, which is what most of the shakes are made with. That whey taste sits on the back of my tongue and makes me want to vomit. The Nectar fruity flavored protein shakes are sickening sweet. My taste buds have truly changed. I was able to do all of those things before surgery. But now, I can't stand the taste. The soy proteins are a lower count in protein grams and I will have to take in more of that. Unfortunately they are mostly unflavored and I will have to add it to juice or V-8, etc. I'm at a loss. Can anyone suggest anything????
