Hellion, I sent you a PM.

Also, I make protein shakes with one scoop of whey protein (I get Vanilla Ice Cream flavor and buy it in 5LB tubs) and one scoop of Carnation Breakfast Essentials.

HINT: I use 8 Oz Cold water in the blender. You can use milk; skim milk has more protein than whole milk, but I use water for less fat. This shake will give you 120 cal from the whey protein and 120 cal from the CBE. Add fruits and berries as you will, or add choc syrup. Be creative.

You will probably lose your sense of taste entirely (temporarily) so the flavor may well become moot.

I tried Boost VHC (500 cal) but it works against me. It makes me trap air in my gut, and the wakes me in the middle of the night with terrible dry heaves to clear the air. I can't belch, an artifact of the radiation to my throat in '09.

Hang in, brother, you'll get through this.
