1 week out and protein drinks are killing me.

All the pre-made ones I've had have been gross. Try ordering samples of powder from Nashua Nutrition.

My doctor didn't approve protein drinks until 7 - 10 days after surgery. And now he had me drinking a half of a premier protein 3 times a day, it is easier to drink 5 1/2 oz 3 times a day then to drink 11 oz all at ones (well it is for me). He also said the protein spaced out would help my energy level and it has.
A friend told me she puts a tsp of peanut butter in hers to help mask the protein taste.

I am 2 weeks post and I agree all protean shakes are GROSS... I did them two weeks pre- surgery diet and thought I can do this No problem but now when I try to drink them YUCK... , I can hardly get them down .. I still drink them twice a day but I will be so glad to get my protean from other sources. good luck to you...
Keep looking for a product you can tolerate. There is a huge variety out there. If you are a coffe drinker, try Chike- it is like an iced coffee and I adore it. I did Isopure Plus early out- drank like koolaid to me and 60 grams of protein a bottle. Try the cream of chicken soup option- that was also good a masking the protein taste. I also added shake mix to regular decaf- made like a Mocha that was good. Keep trying!
