Johnny_D Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 So if you can't physically eat, what can one drink to replace eating?I'm assuming that 3 square bottles of wine each day is out of the question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthazar Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 How about gainers and protein-shakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 LOL.. when i was first pregnant I could hardley eat anything... So I would drink these things called Boost... they have a ton of vitamins and things you need to make sur eyou are getting enough nutrition during the day.. they also have something similar called Ensure~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) Well, you could make smoothies or milkshakes. One smoothie I really like is as follows: 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 2 eggs, 2 frozen bananas. Toss it all in a blender, and hit it till it's all creamy. That'll get you all sorts of vitamins, some protein, and a little fat. Or just toss a bunch of fruit and iced tea in the blender and see how that turns out. Or some berries, cheerios, and milk... that's good too.Edit: tossing a handful of icecubes in makes it more refreshing Edited May 12, 2008 by AKammenzind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Erica, aren't those drinks for old people? HAHAHA JK!Anyway, Wine could do seeing it has lots of calories however, not much in terms of nutrition. Boost or Ensure would do it. Protein shakes should suffice as well.

HookahGuru Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 try different flavors of baby foods if your worried about nutrition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron molly black Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I second, third, whatever, the Ensure. I have to drink that if my weight starts to drop. Is funny in the aisle at Walmart talking with the old folks about which flavor is best. BTW the Vanilla and the Chocolate are the best IMO.

St. Goodypants Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Tequila and protien shakes, at least that's how I'd do it.As an added bonus, a hangover kills your desire to eat food! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Guiness. It was served to british soldiers in WW1 due to it's nutritional value and the alchohol didn't hurt either. Kinda like liquid bread. And a few geritol wouldn't hurt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
