Me too I decided to go to Mexico. I have been waiting now for one year for a phone call to have an information meeting at Pierre Boucher.  No idea what kind of surgery or when after that call.

I'm at 15 pounds from goal, no more high blood pressure, back pain, heel pain, knee pain, hip pain and feeling more and more strong.  

oh no, i'm sorry to hear this .. hopefully they can clear it up soon!  so this happened at 5 weeks?  geez, i wonder what brought this on.

I guess it's good that you can get the boost down, better than nothing.  I find it gross myself, too much oil taste for me.  but it has nutrients in it at least, though 15gx3 isnt really enough protein plus comes with a lot of sugars.

no luck on the whey shakes eh?  I've been ordering my About time mocha mint from http://www.lowcarbcanada.ca/ if you cant find a place, this one has cheap shipping 8$ per order, free if over 100$ order.   I put 1.5 scoops in 1.25 cup skim milk with ice.  47g protein.

NOT fun!! I am 5 weeks out. Liquids, yogurt, oatmeal,soup go down fine. Cheese, meats, eggs forget it. It gets to caught in my pouch. I try to burp and all I get is THICK frothy saliva, that eventually makes me puke.

Last week when I went to the surgeon, I was told that if this continues they will need to go down my throat with a camera and balloon to stretch my stoma. I have been drinking boost for probably 2-3 meals, after it was recommended by the dietitian. The dietician is very worried that I am not getting even near the protein levels I need...

Has this happened to anyone else?

thanks for the info.  And do we have post op follow up ?

Welcome.  :-)       We'll sit on the "waiters bench" together.   :-)          Here's hoping to our turn and VERY SOON!!!
