my 17 year old son broke his jaw in 2 places. He is already very skinny, and I do not want him to lose any more weight. I am looking for some foods he can drink through a straw that would help him keep some of his weight on.

I blended avacodos in my soups to get some good healthy fat into my food. Also added flax seed oil to my other drinks and concoctions. I only lost about 4 pounds and I was completly wired shut for about 8 weeks.
Good luck and healing

also had tons of peanut butter smoothies. I even tried to chop nuts to sand consistency to blend in smoothies. It was ok, but not great.
