Day 3 - don't like protein drinks , what else can I do?

This is my third day, not hungry but definetly not liking proten drinks. I am not a sweet eater so everything I am drinking just taste too sweet. Any suggestions.

My sister lives in Prairieville.  :)

Have you tried Greek Yogurt?  I know they have it at the Super WalMart on Airline.

 Get some campbells bean with bacon soup and puree it in the blender.   It is salty and smokey and was a great relief from the sweet protein drinks.     Susan

are you drinking decaf coffee yet?  Try a scoop of your protein powder in the coffee.  3 days out may be a bit early to be too concerned about the protein.  I think it was about 5 -7 days before I started on the Protein drinks.  Your tastes will change so much that everything may taste like crap for awhile.  Get as much of your Protein as you can in refried beans, cottage cheese, etc,,, But you will have to find a way to get the drinks in.  Maybe try some of the drinks from GNC that are not so sweet.  They will refund your money if you do not like them. 

Probably your best option right now is to try some other brands until you find one you do like.  I don't know how anyone could get enough protein so early out without one.

You might try the unjury chicken soup or try mixing unflavored powder in soup.

When your doc's food plan allows it, you can try Greek yogurt.

You have no choice. YOU MUST HAVE PROTEIN. I tried about everything and all were so sweet that they gagged my. Couldn't
stand any of them. MY PCP had the same surgery in 2005 and told
me to go to walmart and buy Body Fortress Super whey protein powder. Comes in a 2 lb container, Choc, Strawberry and Vanilla. I buy Chocolate and put one scoop in cup of coffee every morning and evening. One scoop gives you 26 gr protein so
I get A total daily of 52 grs in 2 cups coffee. Can use it also
in milk. It's important to blend very well or you will have it floating on top and that is yucky. It's better than any choc mocha you can get anywhere and is close to daily requirement. You have to have protein and you can't eat enough to get daily
requirement. This 2# cont cost under $15 and at times has been
down to $13.95 at times. Very tasty.Also, important when your hair starts falling out, it will come back thicker. You could
see my scalp before surgery and after about month of using this, it started to return more thick than before. I can't do without it. You must find one you can drink. Good luck in your journey

Go to vitalady.com and order protein samples.  You can get samples of 20+ protein powders.  Your tastes will change as time goes on and you can find some you like.  You have to have the protein, like it or not.  Use a sippy cup so you can't see it or smell it.

Using unflavored in hot cereal, soup, hot chocolate, SF instant puddings is helpful.  Also using powdered milk in regular milk really ups the protein grams.

Treat it like lifesaving medicine.  Protein - gotta have it.

The only protein drinks I can tolerate are the pre mixed Premier Protein drinks from Costco they are 18 in a package for about $30 not sure if you have given them a try....
