Chronic small bowel obstruction from adhesions

Thank you for your answer. I do stretch and move around; I do massage when it starts to hurt... but not in any systematic way. I would love to find someone who could help me massage more effectively... As for diet, I would liike to find a nutritional beverage (like Ensure) - plant protein, no dairy etc... someone suggested Kate Farms Komplete, but I read the reviews on Amazon and the reports are that the ingredients have been changed and it is not as good as it was... other suggestions are Orgain and Owyn. I want to maintain my weight but make sure that I am getting enough nutrition. I really need a nutritionist who understands this condition, but have not had much luck in finding one... can anyone recommend a nutritionist? I don't think I have to see the person in "real life" - my husband (whose issues have nothing to do with any of this thread!) has a nutritionist he consults with via phone but she is not appropriate for me... Any ideas? Thanks in advance

I too have tried to get help from a nutritionist. I asked my gastroenterologist for a name and made an appointment. Before the appointment, the nutritionist called and said she really couldn’t help me since I didn’t have a diagnosis, such as Inflammatory disease or celiac. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to get help for this!

When they had me on clears in the hospital and then at home while I was waiting for surgery, I drank Boost Breeze. They provided it in the hospital, but I had to order it from Amazon when I got home.
I like the peach and also the berry. I have not tried the orange.
250 calories, 9 grams of protein in 8 oz. This is what I lived on and I still drink them when I feel like I need more protein. All clear, no dairy. My nutritionist is at Mayo in Phx. The gastro dept set up my appointment. I saw her once and the rest has been over the phone.
Take care & I hope you get to feeling better!
