I figure next week he'll have some soups for lunch, since they're so easy. We've still got some sugar-free popsicles (we usually keep some on hand) and he's one or two of those. But he's really enjoying his banana split ice cream.<BR/><BR/>I don't know why he couldn't have protein powder, but he's still got Ensure, and he likes it, so hopefully he'll finish up those before they go bad (I hate wasting money!) He doesn't like yogurt.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great ideas.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386406875529916012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562638085638900988.post-44889991065840265122008-11-02T08:43:00.000-06:002008-11-02T08:43:00.000-06:00Oh yes, we have the snack-sized puddings, Jell-o, ...Oh yes, we have the snack-sized puddings, Jell-o, and applesauce.

And he's doing much ...I'm so glad he's doing well. And he's doing much better after less than a week of being at home than I was afraid he would. I know he still has a way to go, but puttering is a good thing.<BR/><BR/>You know I think you've got plenty on hand and your right he will eat whatever looks good. I think the soups are a great choice, cream soups made with milk will help with the protein too. <BR/>I think Gary had a good idea bout the jello and pudding. You could even freeze some of the pudding cups with a stick inserted for freezer pops. Or just mix up a box and just keep in the fridge for when he wants some.<BR/><BR/>Can he have protein powder? YOu could mix up/ or he could some smoothies in your blender. I made up some and sent them to the nursing home for mom while she was in rehab. after her hip replacement. All they needed was to be shaken and they would last for a couple of days.<BR/><BR/>I used yogurt, berries, protein powder, sweetener and milk. It was a good way to get some fruit and protein in her. The junk they served her for meals there had her bgl up over 200 all the time.<BR/>Just a thought.<BR/><BR/>Hope you enjoy your weekend,<BR/>VikkiVikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17244128212156453322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562638085638900988.post-65472718964734744262008-11-01T17:23:00.000-05:002008-11-01T17:23:00.000-05:00for snacks you might want to try the jello pudding...for snacks you might want to try the jello puddings,that are sized for lunch boxes for kids, apple sauce, bread puddings maybe? cream soups perhaps with dumplings. I suspect he will out of sheer boredom quickly be trying different things and start nibbling on the "harder" foods to break out of any flavor rut he feels he is in. time will tell.
