I have. None of stays down. I have found if I drink less than half it stays but I do get nauseous. And that feeling I just don’t like.

That sucks. Hopefully it gets better.

6 wks since surgery. I am not taking down Proteins good at all. Prior to surgery I was able to do Protein and Water perfectly fine. Since surgery the Protein makes me sick to my stomach. i’ve been doing the refried Beans and Water and pomegranate or cranberry juice 50-50. I went for my six week follow up yesterday and they said that I should be eating solid foods. Now I still been doing purée. Some fish like cod or whiting. But nothing that really consist of a lot of chewing. it’s a big adjustment. I thought it would be just as easy as the adjustment and change that’s been made over the last eight months but it’s not. Good luck to you.

Have you tried different brands of shakes. For me pre surgery muscle milk was fine. Now I can’t stomach it.

The guidelines vary so much between doctors. I’m in NYC and went thru NYU and their program requires 3 weeks of full liquid.
