Hey John,
Does the shake version of the formula taste better than Ensure. Because I could be using Ensure but after a while and maybe due to chemo, it just tasted awful to me. I guess that is the key. Just find a nutritional supplement drink that won't make me sick and introduce more and more soft foods.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Al

Ensure tastes better than the Kate Farms but for me Ensure had too much sugar so I went with KF and got used to it after a while. But yes find something reasonably nutritious that you can drink while you gradually eat more foods and you'll be on your way
