I'm 7 weeks out and trying to get my protein in daily, I don't know why but now shakes make me sick so I drink 2 peach nectar drinks daily. I wanted to know if that would be alright that's 46oz protein, and I try to eat some food that has protein.

Your doctor should have given you a protein intake guideline. For me, it's 71g of protein a day. (5'6"/290). The amount you are suggesting seems a little low. I would give your surgeon a call and ask :)

By 8 weeks out I was to be at 60 grams of protein, so I know for me, I'd be on the way to needing stepping it up. I do love the nectars!! Is yours the fuzzy navel or is there a new flavor I am not aware of? Also, remember, you can do a 1 1/2 scoop shake, you do not need to be just a scoop at a time.

Be sure you are hydrating like crazy!! :)

Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!

Sometimes our taste buds change and what tasted OK will suddenly be like dust or worse.  Try other types of protein powders.  I like the Cappuccino or Lemon Tea from Syntrax.  They also sell a sample pack of about 12 different flavors, so that.  It will give you a chance to try different flavors without paying a lot of money.
