I switched back to liquids from puréed about 3 days ago for the same reasons. Today saw the surgeon who wants to wait on endoscopy. Switched a few of my meds and wants me to try that for a month to see if it improves [emoji32] I hope it does cause the pain is awful!

In Ohio

I've only experienced once or twice since my surgery on 9/14-happened with 2% milk and another from a protein shake...

Just tried the berry flavor over the weekend. It was better than I expected but I would've preferred to try a different flavor if Walmart had any others. I wish I could mix it a bit with some sparkling water or something....it had less of a protein flavor than I was expecting which was a plus. I didn't like them enough to buy them again though

pdallariva-I had my surgery @ Cleveland Clinic on 9/14....have surgeon f/u tomorrow and I'm concerned I may have a stricture too. Not to the point where I vomit but now getting close, food just sitting on what feels like my sternum. Makes it hard to take deep breaths and severe pain until food "goes down" or I have to " bring it back up" I'm worried that my surgeon is going to think I'm over reacting or something but it's pretty painful and I hope he recommends some testing. I hope you get yours sorted out ASAP!!

Thank you both-it helps to hear from others!!

Oh my gosh-I wish I had seen this post 20 minutes ago!!! I'm having the same issues and had GBS on 9/14. I was really getting worried that it didn't "work" -so glad to hear I'm not the only one. I love this forum, so much support and info!!

Hi everyone-had GBS on 9/14, everything went great & I'm healing nicely. I couldn't be more relieved or grateful as I know many others have had to struggle with complications right from the start. At the risk of sounding "whiney" - I am a bit worried though. I have been able to tolerate all full fluids and am planning on starting puréed soon. My worry is that I not getting this "full" feeling I was counting on as part of our great tool in the initial stage. Obviously I know it's up to me to make the right life style changes etc but I was really counting on having this new boundary to help me through the initial stages as a prompt/reminder....I of course have let my imagination and anxiety run wild that the surgery didn't actually work for me and that I will feel no physical differences as I start to change phases. Thanks for listening, just worried now that I won't have the limitations that I know I will need [emoji26] Anyone else experience this? Is this "normal" in the first few weeks? Thanks again!

Way to go!!! I bet you feel as good as you look!
