Help for a friend
Hello All,
A friend of mine who had rny about 1 1/2 year ago recently had surgery on her legs and is having great difficulty eating. She has had trouble eating on and off since the rny but now it is really difficult. She has lost about 30 lbs. in the past month and cannot afford to loose any more. She is down to about 130 and looks malnourished. Anyway, the surgeon's answer was for her to use Ensure but she has trouble stomaching sweet tasting stuff. I suggested a high protein soup and she was interested in that. This leads me to my main question, does anyone know where in Northern VA, DC or Maryland suburbs (she actually lives in Forestville) a person can buy a high protein soup mix? Thanks!

My local Vitamin Shoppe carries some stuff like that - soup, pudding and oatmeal. I like the pudding (muscle milk) but have not tried the soup or oatmeal.
Also, she can add unflavored protein powder to reg soup. Any Whey makes on and Vitamin Shoppe carries it. Word of warning, do not boil the soup and add this and there is a bit of a taste so do not add a lot of it to the soup. But, it can be added to applesauce, oatmeal, soup, etc.
