Inquire about a nasal tube that they slide into your nose and down into your stomach. In office procedure that takes only a few minutes. It's meant for temporary feeding solutions just like this.
Also Try Carnation Instant Breakfast VHC. It has 560 nutritional balanced calories in a 8 oz can and will cut the misery and the time in feedings. You order it thru your pharmacy dept or online and some have suggested that if you get a prescription for it, your insurance company will pick up the tab. I only paid about $32.00 per 24 can case at Walgreens.
It helps the responder to your Post if you include facts about your Diagnosis and Treatment, etc under your Signature. See mine below as an example. To add to your signature go to the top of the screen and click on MY PROFILE. Then click on EDIT PROFILE and scroll down to the Signature Block and type away. Once you add it, It appears every post you make and your questions and even responses are more understandable.
