Sometimes I wish I could have my wifes jaw wired shut.
What the heck did she do to break her jaw?
Get a few of those jugs of protein powder. Remember, the human body can only handle 30 grams of protein at a time, so give her that much at breakfast and dinner. They have all sorts of flavors and if you can add fruit to it she will enjoy it. I always add raspberries or strawberries to the vanilla and blend the crap out of it. It tastes like desert, but it isn't as bad for you.

And I've got to be honest, I'm really appalled that no one has suggested beer as "food" to friarjohns wife. I mean, this is a beer forum for Christ's sake! : ) Might I suggest something like that Dark Night of the Soul Russian imperial stout. I'm looking to brew that one soon and I put it into Beersmith--it has like 600 calories per pint. So, if she drinks 4 of those a day, her motor skills will suffer, but her caloric intake should be where it needs to be. Come to think of it, that could be a bit excessive. Maybe 2 stouts per day and the rest as other foods.
All kidding aside, I hope she gets better quickly. I can't really imagine what this must be like--I'm sure it will suck for her. Please wish her the best of luck for us and hopefully her spirits will stay up.
I'd pass on the protein powders and just get some Carnation instant breakfast. 12g of protein, 37g of carbs and lots of vitimins and minerals in each serving. Most of those canned protein things are bunk anyway.
