    Im thinking maybe protien shakes or perhaps Ensure or Boost. Are you able to hold down liquified veggies and fruits?

    Matt,

    i have chronic pancreatis, very bad where I have had the Whipple procedure done and now have half a pancreas. I still hurt daily and there are days I can't eat........

    I have tried all the Ensure, Booost the nasty protein drinks...........

    But.......Here's a good tip.......In the breakfast section at the store buy the Carnation Instant Breakfast. You mix a packet of it with milk and it tastes 100% better than Ensure, boost etc........... There are several flavors I usualy get Choclate or Strawberry. There is just as much protein in the Carnation as the Ensure and boost and it tastes a hell of a lot better.

    Regards

    Rick
