After my treatments and I was back home this is how I lived and gained some of my weight back. Milkshakes !!! Here's what I did. Buy a blender. Go out and buy BOOST Liquid. And buy BOOST powder. Right by the liquid. Buy Good ice cream not imitation. Buy HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM, in the refrigerator section by the half and half. Nothing fake in this shake. I*n your blender youb put a bottle of Boost and enough powder to equal a bottle. "amount is on the container". Like 7 tablespoons. Then you put in a couple of scoops of ice cream, and enough whipping cream to blend everything together into a nice shake. This is good for you. Boost has lots of vitamins and the rest is healthy stuff. Don't worry about the fat content that's gonna help put weight on you. If you use all vanilla you can blend in any fruit that you want or even some peanut butter or something like that. I had a lot of swallowing problems and this is basically what I ilved on for a year. At least two of these a day. Yes it can be a little expensive but it's worth it. Along with this you can eat anything that you are able to. If I hadn't had my shakes I don't know what I would have done. Best of luck.

I can’t find my original post about protein powder but I have an update…..

I ordered and received a 33 pound bag of whey protein powder directly from Bongards creamery in Wisconsin.

Yes, 33 pounds is a heavy amount but it was only $217.00 delivered…do the math! Store brands will be double or more!

I transferred into Vittles dog food container and it has like a 2 year shelf life!

I’m also eating Kirkland Organic Greek yogurt for $6.00 for 3 pounds!
Does it taste good? No, but the protein is high in only 2/3 cup! Actually taste a bit better than sour cream.

Hope this helps someone!
