Leena,

I'm glad to hear things are starting to get better for you. Like you, I couldn't deal with the stuff like Ensure -- I just kept trying to mix up "normal" food in the blender and force down as much as I could.

Unfortunately, the taste buds can take awhile to come back (mine took several months) but when they do, it's a really pleasant surprise.
