@lindainca Try Liquid Hope or Nourish you can find them on amazon. I had my esophagectomy June2019 and went in 108 and came out 108 but it is very hard to maintain weight after that operation, I just lost 3 pounds from having a bad cold and cough and have to have a D&C next week and a stone removed after that, I cannot tolerate liquid hope any more too many food intolerances, very hard life now!!!!!!

My esophajectomy was April of 2019 at Mayo. Like you, I also cannot gain weight since surgery. I was over 150 lbs and my last weight was 113. It is not now, an easy life but we are still above ground! I am thankful!

@naoshapiro1 I’ve been using Huel Black Edition for several months as a meal replacement (390 cal. and 35g protein) that I get at Costco, and it was approved by my nutritionist. My problem is slowing down the nutrients I take in. I eat the number of calories per day she recommended, but they apparently pass through too quickly. Could be a problem of malabsorption. I’m waiting to hear back about testing for that. Thank you for your reply, and best of luck with your upcoming procedures!
