Can't keep anything down

[Coloradobri 6]

So I went to my two week check today, and I have a hard time getting my Protein Shakes in because of the grittiness (I've tried premade, different brands etc) so he decided to keep me on liquids for another month, and told me to drink Ensure clear instead...

I drank some and it made me throw up everything. Now my stomach feels like it's been ripped opened... and I'm also having a hard time getting even Water in now... I'm at a loss...

you need to call your surgeon and let them know. I was very sensitive to Protein Shakes. Have you tried the Un jury chicken broth Protein mix? I couldn't get any of the sweet protein shakes down, only the savory.

They told you to drink Ensure Clear? Really? That stuff is loaded with carbs and sugar and has little Protein, relatively speaking. Have you tried the Premier Protein shakes? I have never found them to be gritty at all. Another idea is to mix unflavored Protein Powder into yogurt, broth, or strained cream Soup. The broth and cream soup were go-to's for me during the liquid phase.

I have tried Premier Protein and it was too much for my stomach to handle, it made me very sick..
