Had RNY to DS revision last week and I am on a feeding tube but the vita food they have me on is so disgusting, it smells, it is thick, and I can taste it in my mouth even though it is going directly into my gutt and not my mouth.
Dr. Rabkin mentioned using Ensure which I am going to try Ensures Protein. I just want to see of anyone knows of a tasteless, flavorless, meal replacement that will give me a decent amount of calories without a bunch of sugar and or carbs.

There's Syntrax Nectar medical. I would think you would just double up on the scoops per serving for a meal replacement. I hope someone with experience will chime in and I hope things go smoothly from here on.

I used the cheap tub of protein from Walmart. First I flushed with plain water, then inserted the protein drink, then flushed with water again. I never tasted it. Maybe you could suck on a mint or chew a piece of sugar-free gum while you are doing it? I'm sorry things have been so rough for you (((hugs)))
