Patty,
During the course of my treatment I drank two Skandi shakes (vanilla flavored)per day. This is a blended product. I added whole milk, some yogurt and a scoop of whey protein, plugged my nose and drank one in the morning and one at night. For lunch I drank a vanilla ensure, again, with nose plugged. I found put anything in my mouth somewhat nauseating and had to hold my nose even to drink water.

The good news, this too shall pass. I am back to eating soups and trying a wide variety of foods only one month after radiation. Hang in there. You'll get through it!
