Hi MsJoy. I have heard a few of the people that I had in my group had the same problem. Each of them went back to the doctor to make sure there was nothing wrong and that the pouch was not leaking. Although all of them were ok I would recommend that too. Otherwise all food tastes terrible and I understand not liking the shakes but you really need the liquid and the nutrients to help the healng process. I know I switched from the Carnation with added Protein to a drink called Premier Protien from costco. I like it a lot more and it has 30 g if protein. I put in one scoop of the Bene-protien and that takes it to 36g.
Food still tastes bad to me and I detest the texture of the food after I chew it a million times. BUT I am 16 weeks out and I have lost 100 pounds. I walk at least 5 miles a day, do weights and my life is SO much better. When you find something that you can tolerate to eat and feel better I know you will be happier. I used to hate it when everyboy told me it would get better but it does and the bebefits of the lost weight are great.
