KristiAnn25 0 Posted June 21, 2011 I recommened getting a blender. A lot of Soups you can put in a blender to smooth out the chunks. My favorite was mixing nacho cheese Soup, milk, beef consume and taco seasoning. But Taco's are my favorite food and I like spicey. There is also a good liquid recipie forum on here somewhere that I found very helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lauraleigh1980 0 Posted June 23, 2011 Thanks for the info. Any liquid ideas. My nutritionist gave me a few ideas regarding Protein supplements during pre-op and post-op. What's seemed to be a favorite? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nechama L 4 Posted June 23, 2011 I love my Myoplex shakes. Havent seen anyone else on this board say they are drinking them but I think they have the best taste of the ones I tasted... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
