I am 3 1/2 weeks postop and have severe swelling of esophagus...

I have gone in twice for esophageal dilation and they told me my esophagus is just too swollen to do it. Now I am on only liquids for two more weeks. I need ideas on how to get in protein (I haven't found a drink I can stand) and other nutrients. Has anyone else had this severe swelling? My surgeon said I am only the second one he has ever seen.
