Hi Lynn,

I had a total glossectomy in July 2003 and just had my trach and feeding tube removed on April 1st. Right now I'm strictly on a liquid diet and even though I've tried some soups consisting of mainly broth they still don't taste good even though I finished radiation 11/03. Plus I would have to consume ALOT of soup to make up my calorie intake for the day! I've even tried soup with small noodles but since I don't have a tongue, the noodles just seem to get lost in my mouth even when I try following it with water. I know I haven't given eating my best shot yet but right now I'm so tired of trying that I'm content on liquids. I have tried the Scandishakes (both strawberry and chocolate) and although I don't believe their website offers any samples to try, I would be happy to send you a sample of what I have here at home. The nice thing about these shakes is that when mixed with 8 oz. of whole milk generates 600 calories! I personally like the strawberry the best.

If you're interested is trying them, just let me know. You can send me an email with your home address and I'll get them off to you as soon as I can.

Take care, Nancy
