This is the problem. The people I'm talking about have caregivers,
but when they didn't, even making toast or peeling a banana was out
of their ability or desire to eat. I didn't realize how bad it was
for some time. Speaking of the original poster's situation, I am
concerned that they are not eating because even the small task of
mixing up a shake might make them not use them. I'm only speaking
from experience, not arguing with you in any way.

Do you know of a decent already mixed shake? I try to get the
high protein drinks, but even then, they aren't all that high, but
they are better than not eating.

I will have to look for that. Hmmm, I wonder if there is a GNC in
the mall. I will be there Monday, doing my Christmas shopping (sigh).

That's good to hear.

Unfortunately, I'm talking about alz sufferers who live on long
after their brain does. Horrid illness.
