[quote=terrib]Jeff went through the same thing a few weeks after treatment. Even though he was taken more than recommended calories he was dropping overnight drastically. I think his body was needing so much more calories to heal. I started getting some real food in him that I blended up. Carrots that I juiced and added some veggies like spinach and avocado, fruit and scrambled eggs and high protein powder. Sometimes it was slow going in and when he did feel like taking it I stood there and poured it in.

I made him weigh first thing every morning to know how hard I had to push that day. [/quote]

terrib, did this go into his PEG tube or did he drink this by mouth?
