i should start off with a little history, and background explaining why i am looking for a meal replacement drink mix thats good to use as a complete replacement to solid foods...
i have achalasia, which means the lower esophagus sphincter is always closed tight and wont open so i choke on everything i eat.. even liquids back up.. im having surgery on this on march 8th.. the recovery puts me on a liquid diet for about a month, and id rather have a meal replacement drink than putting pizza or a hamburger in a blender, which to be honest will only make me throw up and ruin the healing process on my esophagus.
so, the question is, could anyone help me find the right meal replacement drink mix i can drink 3 times daily as a replacement to solid foods during my recovery?. something to curb apetite would be great since i cannot actually eat anything... and well, a low fat, high protein drink to help me lose weight would be great too (im 6'0 and 320lbs)... and im 24 years old so it would be nice to get in shape now and avoid problems later.
after a month on this stuff i will take a week or two getting used to solid foods again before i can eat normally again and never have to worry about choking again which will be nice.
