Christine and Cheryl:
THANK YOU so much for the info re liquid nutrition. I have been searching and searching for recipes that I can swallow in order to get the recommended calories/protein/vitamins, etc. I am taking in some easy to swallow foods, but still rely mainly on PEG and osmolite liquid nutrition formula to make sure I'm getting daily requirements. I've lost 90 lbs since diagnosis (regained only 10). At dx, i joked that at least now i would lose the extra weight i couldn't seem to lose. Not so funny now!
And I have unused Jevity and Osmolite (different type) and just can't bring myself to throw it away cuz i know how expensive it is and always intended to find out if I could donate it anywhere so that those who couldnt afford it could use it.
Thanks again.
Wendy
