hi Lynn,

after having my peg removed, i was on an essentially liquid diet for about a year. i ate huge amounts of ice cream. initially i could drink 12 oz of shake type stuff in about 45 minutes. let's just say that i had to make time for eating. i tried to drink water and it took about 4-6 months to go from 45 to 10 minutes to drink a glass.

my diet was just to keep me going... the docs told me to eat anything i could... that translated into about 4 or 5 gallons of ice cream per week. i also used Scandishakes... chocolate.

i got scandishakes in boxes of 6 packets for about $6-7... at the local grocery store.

now i eat fine... and often like to have a chocolate shake with lunch.. it goes so well with a cheeseburger.

cu,
