No worries, Laurie. You should still be able to make shakes using foods that are low in fiber. How about the fruits and vegetables you can tolerate. Can those be used to make your shakes? Banana and apple should be OK. Veggies should be cooked not raw. Besides the plant based milks there are dairy milks available without lactose for those who are lactose intolerant. Is your GI sensitive to the plant based milks? I prefer using dairy milk without the lactose with my oatmeal to keep the carb count down. You would think the senior centers to have different diets available to please their residents. There are so many needs. How about ready made shakes? I get the diabetic shakes for my mother. I have noticed there are also mixes available for smoothies at the grocery stores. Maybe there is one for you. Some contain vitamins as well. Don’t give up. Look into the possibilities. The mixes can be used with a blender or a bullet. A suggestion would be to check the Amazon website to see what is out there.

@avmcbellar Thankyou SO much for your informative reply. Yes, you sure would expect seniors' rez's to cater to the needs of us old folks, but that's the nature of the beast, here. It's a great place, and the meals are excellent, but I can't eat them! (still looking for that pony!)
During dinner this evening I was talking about all this with my friend, and she is giving me a brand new Bullet that she's never used! I found the pony!! 😆
I'll check out Amazon for the smoothie mixes and, also, maybe I can find frozen food that's been cooked. Maybe not though?
I do use lactose free dairy milk for my cereal and coffee with no problem 😊.
I can't get to a store to shop but have just discovered Amazon and learning how to order, with not too much difficulty. Makes me feel like Thoroughly Modern Millie.
Thanks again
