He wants us eating real food, not liquids. He also says that its easy to fall back on high calorie liquids as you go along, so don't start them.
I did try supplements, especially when I wasn't getting in any food. Other than that, I have now stuck to real food which is so good after having a stricture.

That's interesting.......and I can certainly see his point with supplements. I still use them occasionally and just bought some......but I use 1/2 scoop and not everyday. It's more like for times I slack on protein. The milk thing flies in the face of all I've read......unless he means whole milk. I drink skim and non-fat dry. I do like to hear other docs/people's opinions. I'm a "take what you like and leave the rest" kind of person, and sometimes a little rule or tidbit from someone else's philosophy helps. I do know I have to watch the calories in liquids now that I eat pretty well. Thanks for answering my question.
