With regard to drinking liquids to manage SBO, do you find that you can blend nutritious foods to a liquid? For instance, I’m drinking a smoothie with blueberries, cherries and a banana. I’m trying to find what works for me to prevent my SBOs, but still get the nutrition I need. Thank you for your thoughts!

For me, as far as the nutrition went, getting enough protein was my doctors biggest concern along with enough calories. I pretty much stuck with the high protein Boost and the Boost Breeze which is clear. I didn't have the energy while recovering from the surgeries to make my own smoothies. And definitely lots of water, and I did a gentle massage which I feel really helped.
