Immediately post op I became lactose intolerant.  I could not drink protein shakes made with powder and skim milk or even soy.  The few times I tried, I got really ill and sick to my stomach.  You might try a premixed shake.  I too had a very difficult time adjusting.  Go slowly and remind yourself this stage and these feelings don't last long....they really don't.  Stay with what works.  Try drinking bullion made with a protein powder that can withstand high cooking temps, or try Unjury chicken broth protein.  I was never able to do pureeds.  I failed miserably at that stage, so I stayed on full liquids much, much longer.  It worked well for me, personally.  It gave my pouch a chance to heal well, and I was able to identify those foods that I could/couldn't eat.  Hang in there.

 thank you :)
