Elizabeth, if you want to try Carnation VHC, I would be glad to send you a couple cans. Im sure it would work but sometimes people want to test it out first. Let me know if you want me to share a few with you.

I always order it thru the Amazon link here so OCF gets a small donation with my orders. That works for everything you would buy from Amazon, not just OC related things.

Its alot of work maintaining my weight so I do understand what you are going thru. Sometimes I think I can be without my tube too but then reality sets in and I remember I cant swallow pills or eat meat. Nobody can survive on jello, soup broth and pudding (thats my diet). Push yourself everyday to add a few hundred calories more to your diet. Make a routine like when the kids go to bed then its time for you to push more calories.

Good luck with swapping your tube for a new one smile
