  1. Do you know if these taste better than the Opurity Chewables? They tend to make me gag...most days I don't get or keep them down. Also, do you have any ideas for better tasting high-Protein? Have tried Isopure ZeroCarb flavorless and most flavors...haven't tasted any that really taste GOOD! Deperately need protein...due to stricture and subsequent surgeries have not been able to eat anything for 5 mo...losing hope of ever getting hair or strength bak Thanks, Cheryl
  2. My doctor has recommended I have a stent input to fix a stricture. If you have had this done please share your experience with me. Thank you.
  3. Yes, I have tried thicker liquids and even adding protein to diluted juice. Still cannot get down consistently...can sometimes get children's popscicle down if I take it very slow. I have lost 35 pounds but I am sure it is just water.
  4. My doctor was Dr. Almanza...who I really liked. He was great and was very concerned post-op with the initial problems I had. He had to do a post-op scope and afterward photos showed liquid was going thru.
  5. Thank you both. I have waited because the doctor's office had been telling me for the first 60 days that I just was very tight and that I would get better after all the swelling went away. Now they are no longer returning calls.
  6. Please help...am three mo post-op and still can't get anything down but clear liguids. Having trouble getting any protein or vitamins in. Everything makes me gag. Hair falling out in clumps. Serious GERD still, have been taking Prilosec daily since surgery, also otc immediate acid reducer 2x day. Can't get any answers from doctor's ofc in Mexico. Need suggestions on what to do, feeling desperate...wondering how to get help...who to go to for help here in SoCal.
