Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Hi Bea, Thanks for the info. I tried some of the semi-juice based Boost the other day. And am going to start experimenting with various recipes, etc - before the surgery. I figure to use some broth and possibly the rice milk as a diluent for the blenderized food. I will check with the health food store in town. Since our town is relatively small (surgery will be in San -abt 65 miles from home), I want to make sure I have what I need before I head into surgery on Dec. 2.
