Never a dull moment and a second NED!

Well that was a sneaky way to get them to move up the scan! I'm very happy for you. My gallbladder and I parted ways when I was in my 20s, so I have no advice, just sympathy.

Congrats on the clear scan!!!! That's interesting that some docs scan regularly. They told us my husband won't be getting routine scans. Not sure how I feel about that.

As for what to eat - my hubby hates Ensure and Boost and only drinks it when at work or traveling. Have you tried sherbert instead of ice cream? I recently started using his Nutrin as a base. That's the stuff we used for tube feedings. I'm mainly just trying to use it up because we have so much leftover. It's not too bad since it's vanilla flavored. Plus it's cheaper than buying all those supplements. I mix it with fruit and protein powder and add either chocolate or strawberry sryup to help disguise the taste. 

I found a chocolate soymilk that has lots of calories. Try adding ground nuts, flaxseed meal, cocoa, and protein powder to sweetened almond milk. To the Nutrin mix, I mix either bananas or canned fruit like peaches with heavy sryup or frozen strawberries with sugar plus vanilla flavored protein powder. My grocery store has recently been stocking goat milk and I wonder if that would be healthier. I use my NutriBullet to mix the smoothies, but only "pulse" the mixes otherwise it gets frothy.

Try different combinations of almond or soy milk, peanut butter, chocolate, banana, honey, and even coconut oil for calories. And of course, always protein powder - I typically add 2 tablespoons. 

Boost has a fruit flavored, clear liquid protein drink called Resource Breeze. I remember hubby having a small sample from the clinic when we first started and he liked it. I never see it on the shelves, but you can order it online. 

Hi Barbara,

If by cremy you mean smooth and thick, you can use corn starch or flour to thicken soups, leaving out cream and dairy. There are other substitutes for cow milk. Maybe goat's milk or something else. I've not tried them but I see them all the time.
