hello Christine thanks for the response..you are so sweet! jevity is made by abbott same people as ensure. It is a formula that is high protein nutrition with fiber and has prebiotics to maintain and restore damaged gut flora. the 1.5 contains 355 cal/8 oz. I did pick up 2 cases of the carnation brk. hvc. and putting a can in, in place of one of the jevity. I do exercise my jaw opening it wide 20 times per day at least when i do think about it. So far christine I have no weakness at all no nausea either. thank goodness. I try to keep moving and busy the draw back is the feeding tube cause they have me setting at 70 cc per hr. well feeding takes 7-8 hrs plus you have to add water and or juices so = some more time but its all good! thanks again for being here for me and inspiring me to play it forward. donald
