Hi Chuck2008,
I am a former member of the LNC (I chose not to renew my membership... they have increased the fees since I first joined!) so I can share with you my personal experiences. I was on a liquid only diet for about 4 months (ensure/boost, soups, juiced vegetables/fruits) so I know what it is like to have cravings and have to "eat" with others.
I was somewhat obsessed with food the entire period, however I found it easy to not want to eat anything solid. My obsession came out through watching the food network every single night for a couple of hours after dinner. This may not sound too strange, but never in my life have I had interest in any of the food network shows and now all of a sudden I could not stop watching!
For me I saw solid food as the equivalent of poison/an allergy. I knew that I had to stay on a liquid food diet and the thought of the pain I would have to go through if I did cheat and eat solid food was enough for me to stick with the liquids.
Do whatever you can to make taking the Ensure more tolerable (I found it best when it was colder) and if you have access to different flavors try them all and rotate taking different flavors to keep your daily intake more interesting. I personally would have the same breakfast every day and a similar lunch/dinner but would change things up as desired.
When eating with family, I once again went with the idea that solid food was like something I was allergic to and was ok to "eat" with others knowing that the dinner I had was at least of my choosing (in terms of flavor). Over time while my food network obsession remained I became less focused on desiring to eat solid food and the very thought of eating such food was very uninteresting to me.
The hardest thing for me was that I used to be a night snacker, and I did not find anything to replace that desire (well I guess that is why I watched the food network at this time). After some time though the desire remained, but was greatly diminished. When I did return to eating solid food I even stopped night time snacking after the experience, which was a positive thing for me (as my snacking would have been junk food).
Overall, the main lesson I think I can give is that your cravings will diminish over time. Don't consider your liquid diet as a choice but rather as a requirement that you have to follow. Soon you will be able to give back your liquid nutrition membership yourself so don't worry too much about this in the short-term and good luck trying all the flavors (I counted 5 Ensure Plus flavors on the website... hopefully you have access to them all).
