Hi Kelly. Life is cruel. Having had the courage to go through the gastric bypass it is very unfair you now have to deal with this additonal eating burden. I hope you are seeing your nutriionist and also following Christine's earlier post. Finding high calorie/protein drinks that you can tolerate are really important. I was lucky in not losing too much weight, but my saving in getting off the Fortisp bottles (similar to Ensure) was in buying a juicer and a magic bullet blender. Experiment and keep using something like Ensure until you are more stable. Keep us posted on how things are going.
