I can't tell by your posts if you aren't able to eat or you have just developed a taste issue? If you are able to eat then eat and eat and eat all your favorite things now as there will be plenty time for those damn liquid drinks. If you can't eat and must rely on liquids then drink or pour down that Peg whatever pleases you. If or when nutrition becomes an issue then consider drinks with the most bang for the oz which Carnation Instant Breakfast VHC still sits at the top with 560 cals in an 8 oz can. I didn't develop taste issues until about my 3 week of radiation and then everything went south for about 7 weeks.
