The nutritionist at Heywood Hospital is somewhat alarmed at my weight loss. Considering the glop I've been reduced too, there's only more weightloss on the horizon and not enough nutrition… and so…
I am now drinking Ensure… the protein and vitamin drink which is often targetted at people 20 to 30 years older than me. Yayyyy.
The taste? Well. It's edible.
Oh speaking of further indignities. Get this: I'M SICK. The doctors had warned I might come down with a sinus cold, I guess it is fairly common for that to happen after this kind of surgery. Let me tell you. Coughing with a mouth full of mutilated gums and dentures? Not fun.
After considering it further, I have come up with something that sort of describes the flavor of ensure: chocolate deviled moose ass.
Austin Powers might say “It's a bit nutty.”
Get vanilla and mix in your own chocolate syrup… maby that'll taste better than moose's ass?
I second this suggestion. You can mix in whatever flavors you want – chocolate, strawberry, coffee, whatever. As much of it as you want.
Sorry you're feeling so crappy. Hope the Ensure at least aids in your recovery somehow.
Ooo – Oooo – Strawberry Quik!
What a bunch of crap you're having to put up with.
