The other option would be to make a high calorie shake in a good blender or a Vitamix with flax seed oil etc. But it needs to be very well blended to go down the tube. My vitamix blends down an entire dinner with some extra water. While they are "empty" calories, a glass of wine down the tube helped me stabilize my weight. I was plesantly surprised when my RO switched my breakout pain pills from Percocet to hydromorphone just so I could continue my dinner ritual of wine (he was worried about the tylenol) Charm 65 yr Old Frack Stage IV BOT T3N2M0 HPV 16+ 2007:72GY IMRT(40) 8 ERBITUX No PEG 2008:CANCER BACK Salvage Surgery 25GY-CyberKnife(5) 3 Carboplatin Apaghia /G button 2012: CANCER BACK -left tonsilar fossa 40GY-CyberKnife(5) 3 Carboplatin Passed away 4-29-13
