I have same problem. if I take after some protein I'm good. I have hard time getting all the fluids in and I feel so frustrated because all meats make me vomit. And when people around me are like see this is why you shouldn't have had surgery, it kinda hurts, but I went from having to give myself insulin shots to no diabetes meds at all. So even though I get frustrated it is definitely a lot better than my disabled son finding me in dka(diabetic ketoacidosis) and scared out of his mind with fear. I just feel different than all my friends now. You can also do the protein in pudding and then take vitamins..hope this helps..
