My doctor strictly said NO carbonated beverages period. They feel that it could stretch the pouch. Also not good for you....which is obvious. But if I go through all this and stretch my pouch over a dumb soda I would be mad....this is just me of course. I also am not foolish to think that someday down the road I might have a sip of soda because I do not want to put that burden on myself if I did. But I am going to be strong and resist the urge.

I found Syntrax (people who make Nectar)...they have a medical grade one, unflavored that I got in a sample pack (ordered a bunch of samples from somewhere, maybe Vitalady or something - forget)...anyway, that one worked well for me.

Well like any STORE the silly answer to that is to make a living.

To the OP-science behind genepro is questionable. Make sure and read the threads and do your research about it.

Welll...I know I will get blasted about this because there are a few people that don't agree with my choice of Protein.. I love GENEPRO BTW I am 4 years out and I have tried sooo many Proteins I would hate to find out how much $$$ I actually have spent. So anyhow this is the only Protein unflavored which is unflavored. I mix it in my Espresso every day. It cost a little more but oh so worth it. Good Luck

I am also 3 weeks post op, but I had little energy until I was getting enough Protein. I also had to make myself get up and move. Did they give you something for nausea, because that is what helped me? I had zofran for the first few weeks and also protonix to help with reflux and/or heartbearn. Those seemed to work for me. Do you tolerate the Protein Shakes okay?

Sometimes it helps to use a body pillow. I was able to sleep on my side about day 3 post-op using a pillow.

When I first started soft foods, I wasn't able to get even 2 oz of a ricotta bake down. Go at your own pace and don't force yourself to eat! You probably won't get sick, but you may feel some discomfort if you eat more than you can tolerate. The trick is to eat small bites slowly.

Look up how Gordon Ramsay makes his scrambled eggs. I've found that texture to be so much more pleasant than the rubbery chunks of eggs we tend to have here in the US

I take these, but citrus or strawberry flavor.
I also take 2500 mg. of Biotin with gummies per day.
