Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I can't believe David didn't tell you to get Carnation VHC for your Dad. It has 560 calories in an 8 OZ can and would help him tremendously.. I drink it mainly because I have no teeth and had part of my tongue removed along with a left neck dissection.I have put back 10 lbs of the 70 I lost. As for the waiting, I hardly had time to catch my breath before I was in surgery for the tongue and dissection. After all that was when the fun part started. LOL I wish your dad well and hope you get him some VHC and a good belnder to make him some other foods like soup.
