Hi Charm,

Happy to answer your questions. Any of the Drink Your Meals recipes can be eaten as a "regular person" meal. Instead of following the soup like recipes you will have to cook the individual ingredients to your liking - bake the salmon, steam the veggies, etc. Your wife will have to add spices to suit her taste preference. All you would have to do is add the broth or other liquid amount when you put your portion in the Vitamix. When you create a Menu and print a recipe it will automatically adjust to your daily calorie needs as you've input in Member Home/My Profile and My Plan/Menu Preferences. Double the recipe and you'll have two portions.

I have never had an issue using syringes and bolus feeding with the mic-key button using a 20FF tube size. The Vitamix pulverizes everything. If a meal is on the thick side it may be harder to push the syringe. When that happens I add water to thin it and carry on. Mentally I'm so satisfied knowing that that I'm getting fresh unprocessed food every meal. My body feels the difference too!

Blessings,

Jesse
