| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

Mmm Tim Tams! :(
Thanks for the idea Grace, I can eat vanilla and sugar, I am going to try it. I take it you have had to drink ensure yourself! I swear the strawberry is the worst flavour for me, though at this point I hate them all. |

Yeah, i wind up drinking them alot - especially right now and I am very sick of them! I agree - strawberry is the worst. I don't know if you have WalMart there, but the Equate brand of SlimFast has almost the exact same ingredients as ENsure but with more protein and the flavor is so much better. I hate Slimfast even more then Ensure but sort of enjoy the Equate stuff. I am not supposed to use weight loss stuff but the flavor is so much better with almost equal nutrition - how strange, huh? I am hoping your week will go fast, fast, fast! |

Thanks Grace, yes we have Wal-Mart but I've never tried the Equate stuff. I've actually never drank Slimfast like products, I thought that stuff had an appetite suppressant in it or something, but I guess I'm wrong? I'll have to ask my doctor if it's okay to try. |

It has been a while since I have compared labels, but I don't think any of it has appetite suppressants in it - at least not the SlimFast, Equate or Ensure. What struck me as so funny when I did compare the Ensure/nutrition drinks with the SlimFast/Equate drinks they are almost identical in ingredients. How on earth could a drink made for people to gain or maintain weight be the same as something to help lose weight? So very odd. The Equate has a few less calories but since I have such a hard time keeping anything down, they aren't complaining that I am getting that down instead of the Ensure. |

Well, I am so thankful that they looked in the right place and happened to see that suspicious spot, and got it all out, and now you don't have to worry about all those months and years of dealing with full blown intestinal cancer. They saved your life. tell me where to mail those boys a box of home made chocolate truffles. |

Thanks 2quilt, I'm really glad too. It was such good fortune really, that I had appendicitis! I've already had small intestinal and gastric cancer, not really keen on adding bowel cancer to the list! |

By the time they slice and dice you all up, with all the surgeries you have had just in the last year, there won't be any Evie left! You only weigh as much as as Chairman Meow, even now!
Cyndi, counting the days until you get back on solid food! |

Evie...carnation instant breakfast is also a good one and tastes way better too.....not quite as nutritious but not bad....and mix it with whole milk....add some chocolate syrup or vanilla for added flavour too. I am so glad you are ok and back on the forum.
Take care
