Lidiana:
i just now see your post. you have a lot going on it seems like. There is only one definitive test for gastroparesis - the gastric emptying test - did you have that done yet - if not you should ask your GI guy to schedule it. i have a really good protein shake i drink - blend it with banana and pineapple or various other fruits - its called maxpro and has 30 grams of protein and lower sugar than most. it is really quite good. You can get it online. it is quite expensive but one bag lasts a long time and since you are not spending money on "real food" it is well worth it! i use about 1/4 cup orange/pineapple juice for liquid and the fruit is frozen - so it comes out very tropical tasting. get the vanilla - that way you can add whatever flavor you like - berries, pineapple, banana etc. sometimes i use chocolate milk for liquid - for a chocolate shake. i mostly have the shake daily, blended vegetable soup - cooked and blended fruit (apples or pears) and when i am doing "well" i can manage toast and a few other plain things..
@grace3 thanks for the hugs.
May I ask @grace3 what has been your experience with this condition?
