@hopeful33250 , I've actually been working hard to find nutritionally sound ways to do this. For example, my breakfast this morning is a glass of lassi--soy or coconut milk whipped up with fat-free Greek yogurt with active cultures and some spices (good amount of protein, calcium, etc.), a glass of organic no-pulp carrot/orange juice, and coffee (because I need caffeine!! 🙂 ). Other mornings I might have prune juice for iron and laxative properties.
The smoothies I often have at night contain everything a nutrtionist could wish for--banana, milk, protein powder and/or tofu, avocado, spinach, oats, yogurt. I take multi-vitamins, too. I try to make everything I put in my mouth nutritionally rich. If I do eat any solid food at night, I keep it low-fiber (pizza!!), and I chew everything (even juice) like crazy before swallowing, to get digestion started.
I think I'm probably "eating" healthier than I ever have!

You really are doing all of the right things, @nancybev. Thanks for all of the good ideas.
Do you have your vitamin levels checked periodically? I'm thinking about Vit D and Iron, etc.
