I am so sorry to post this sad message

They only one I really liked was the Champion Banana Scream.  I would mix it up and put it in the freezer until it got slushy, then I could drink it.  You might also try protein ice cream Eggface has recipes for making protein ice cream and everyone says they are really good. Her website is http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/.

She has tons of recipe ideas.  I like on the ricotta bake during the mushies.  I still make the low carb tortilla pizza's and some of the casseroles.

I will tell you I am 3 months out and finally am able to handle food.  I would go a week without eating anything.  I had to have my gall bladder removed on Labor Day weekend and I have felt great since.  Believe me I was ready to give up.  But I finally have a little energy and can keep 90% of the food I eat down.  I just tried to drink as much as I could in a day.  But eating was neel to none.  I know that it so hard and you just want to give up but hang in there and you might consider having them check your gall bladder.  It wouldnt hurt.  Keep your head up and if you need anything you can message me.

Ok...enough kicking your own butt here!! You are not a failure!!! You are doing great...just messing up a bit! Ok? I will say this....having not been through it , I can only say......The people on here have,  and have many different answers for you. Listen to them!!! Take their advice! There are even friends on here that became lactose intolerant after too so they can offer idea's. I think that is Diana......I would say only buy samples of things right now.... until you find what you can eat, but find things!! 
YOU are now in the phase that is up to you! No one can make you eat right! YOU have to do that...All the cheerleaders on this board can not make you eat....You will continue to lose, don't be afraid of that....relax more when you eat....but do one thing for yourself....Listen to those who have lived this and come out just fine....Ok?

If you cant handle the protien from those drinks, I have two for you to try.  Slim-Fast high protien low card try the choco, or the EAS carb control.  Both have about 20 grams protien and dont taste too bad.

No lynching here-but if you don't actually throw up-then swallow the dang things and get the protein in.  Food is now fuel-not always a joy.  I do not enjoy my morning protein drink, but since forcing it down, I do enjoy that I eat right for the rest of the day-and there is still two meals to "enjoy" if I want to enjoy some food.  I DO enjoy food, and I always will (I hope).  Just not like I used to.

Coming from an eating disorder background like I do, I have to say there is something kind of "cool" about finally not being able to eat, and or going long times between eating with little discomfort.  Don't even go there  lady, it's not a good place to be.  (And I'm smiling when I say that-not trying to be a drill sargeant here.

It's a little late now to start looking for a protein drink that you enjoy-just settle for one you can swallow until you find one you like.  I sometimes treat myself like a child ....My ONLY option is the shake in the morning, not coffee, no****er, not juice....the shake....and suddenly, it doesn't seem so bad.  Then I wait my 30 minutes and I have my coffee, which I truly enjoy. 

I'm so sorry you're having so many troubles right now, but you WILL find a way to get in the protein you need to heal and get healthy. If you're a praying gal, pray for wisdom to know what to do, because the Word says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him/her ask of God, who gives it liberally and upbraideth not [which means He doesn't get angry when we ask]." I know He will guide you. I'm praying for you, too.
Blessings,

You should try Gladitor (vanilla) from Smoothie King.  It's the only one I like.  You can go in and order a Gladitor smoothie and try it before you buy it.  I'm sure you will love it.  I make mine with frozen strawberries and 1/2 a banana with milk and ice.  You get 45 grams of protein in one drink.

Good luck!

Before surgery, I could tolerate most of the different protein mixes, but my taste changed after surgery. The only one I really liked was the Champion Banana Scream after surgery. But even then, I had to switch from mixing it with milk to just using water. It was a lactose thing occurring after surgery. The only way I could get my drinks in after that was mixing a scoop with only about 3 ozs of water and getting it down in only 2 to three swallows. This is what works for me, even now. I think of it as my medicine and just buck up and take it.

Even now, I don't feel I can get all my protein requirements without at least one of "my shots" a day. It's mixed and taken real quick and done with. Please give it another try. It is important, especially if you don't want to loose all your beautiful hair. Lack of protein, besides the surgery, anes and all that stuff, causes the hair loss. Vitamins alone will not keep it from happening.

Best wishes.

My NUT told me I could use SF carnation instant breakfast. I use 1 pkg., 1/3 cup powdered FF milk, 1 cup skim milk. I heat my milk and it tastes just like hot chocolate! If you use all 3 ingredients it comes to 21 grams of protein. I also sometimes add a little of the SF carmal syrup. It really is good.

I have also spent a fortune trying to find a protein drink, and I can't get any of them down, they gag me also! I was very relieved when my NUT approved the carnation.

It sounds like you came to the right place to post!  Everyone here wants to help!  You got some awesome Ideas.  I like On whey protien, Vanilla Icecream flavor.  Its got 26g of protien.  I mix it with skim or soy milk and a banana.  I add a few Ice chips because Its best if its REALLY cold!  I haven't even had surgery and it fills me up!  I hope you find something that works for you soon!  I'm sure you will start to feel better once you get some good protien in you.  Your mood will also be better!  Don't give up and remember we are always here !!!!
Hugs
