I ended up making milkshakes with carnation instant breakfast with ice cream and milk.  Was easy to slurp down, and it stayed down.  Didn't have to chew and no problem with it gagging me.  I ended up finding anything with some nutrition that just kind of slid down.

Ice Cream was my best friend. There was also Phantom Smells. I would smell things that no one else could smell.

Ice cream is too creamy for me, I'm afraid the dreaded phlegm will come back took me 3 mos. to get over it.
I smelled some chicken the other day and I thought I would lose it.
potatoes seem OK, Had a turkey burger tonite that was OK,   sometimes I'll get a bean burrito w/ a little cheese, tomato and avocado and munch on that for 2 days.
i get these packaged noodles at Trader Joe w/ satay and p'nut sauce and that works.  I dont think I'm getting great vitamin value, but these meds are at the pinnacle of things right now, so I'm not gonna worry to much about nutrition.  Water yes,    I'm sure I do better nutrition wise than a huge portion of the population, some people are eating dirt..... while GE & Verizon pay no federal taxes, oh thats another matter.

Don't think about that when you are trying to eat - they just don't go well together ;*).

Oh my, if you can eat a satay with peanut sauce, you're doing alright! I can't eat it in the best of times.

It gets down to pretty much what you can get down and keep down. If it's nutritional, all the better, but sometimes anything palatable with calories will have to do.

Ice cream, smoothies, frozen yogurt and fat free fudgicles were my favorites. I could eat ten fudgicles a day I remember that now.

PB&J was my 'food' staple -  heck gotta get that good fat for the riba.
