I drink VHC, Juven, Ensure and Boost drinks to break up the monotony. Sweets came back so I can enjoy hot tea with honey, I'll have soups but I'm not eating a lot of solids. It's tough but every new week is better then the last. It's the way it is...recovery is very slow. I'm not worried about eating I figure that will come in time. I go for the nutrition and calories.
