Max,

Like Gary, I discovered early on in my treatment that I didn't really like Ensure, so I switched to Carnation Instant Breakfast and did much better with that. I frequently put it in the blender with other things like fruit and ice cream to add calories and variety. I also ate lots of baby food, pudding, applesauce -- just about anything that falls into the category of nutritious and easy to swallow. Most things tasted terrible until well past the end of radiation, but I thought it was a small price to pay under the circumstances.
