How can I make protein supplementation work for me?

I had the DGB/DS on March 8th and have done so well in all areas except one. My doctor wants me to take apx. 55-60 grams of protein supplement per day while I am so new post op and until the swelling goes down. I have been trying the Designer protein but even though the texture is fine and the taste is acceptable, it won't stay down. I drink it then feel ill the rest of the day. Four times I have thrown it up after it just sitting in my tummy feeling yucky for hours. I drink it mixed in water so it is thinner. I didn't like it in milk. I plan to try a smoothie but was hoping you all might share what worked for you. I also have tried a protein bar but it caused the same yucky feeling for hours. I want to follow my doctor's instructions but it is frustrating going from feeling great to miserable just because of this protein supplementation. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks,
