Your post lets me clarify my advice to Laura. Christine has summed up the options. IMO Jevity can only be tolerated with a feeding tube - it has only one flavor: "Yuck". Jevity 1.5 has 355 calories per 8 oz. can. My medical supply house delivers 8 cases plus 30 syringes each month per my prescription. The can says it can be drunk, but I think you would have to be very drunk to be able to drink it. wink

Since your husband already has a feeding tube, I pushed the Jevity 1.5. However since he can still swallow, it is important that he keep doing so and Ensure Plus (I also could only stand the Vanilla ) or Carnation VHC are " better" than jevity to drink. IMO, You caregivers have it so much harder than the patient. I hope his weight stabilizes.
