Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 5,260 Likes: 3 | I totally agree with anne - calorie wise I tried to keep it up but I was happy with being able to manage 12-1400 a day - now I'm trying to take in food and supplement my boost/ ensure. (when it's hard to eat and swallow it was enough to just get that much down. If you are doing feeds they generally run around 300-400 calories - so that's 6 or 7 cans... I could really use my peg so I figured if I drank 4 or more boost a day I was doing well. I also made sure my morning started off with a 30gm protien shake.
Baking soda is I believe 1 tbsp to 1 cup of water.
Good luck
