Congrats! You won't be able to get in 90g of protein a day at this point. My surgeons told us to get in 40g a day at this stage. It's more important to get in the protein drinks now than any of the fluids. The Isopure drinks were a God send as I did get sick of the milk based shakes after a while. I pureed beef veggie soup and would add some whey protein powder to it. Helps when you want something a little salty. As funny as it sounds, it may take 15-30 min to down that 2oz protein drink. This is normal. It will get easier and easier. It was about a month before I was actually able to get in 64 oz of fluid. Good luck to you! Sue
