I have a question on how much input before you gain weight. I am 4 weeks post op fron a neck disection and pech flap, After 8 days i came home and my weight was 122. I am 5'7" tall. My normal weight was right around 142 lbs.
I started out putting 8 cans of Jevity per day in my feeding tube which is 2000 calories, along with 1000cc of water. My weight stayed right around 122 to 124. I started adding 4 bags od carnation instant breakfast powder to the Jevity
which added another 520 calories per day. I still remained at 124 lbs every morning. Today I added 2 cans of Insure Plus which are 350 calories per can with 7 cans of Jevity along with the carnation instant breakfast. This daily total would equal just over 2900 calories. I feel like I should be adding at least 1 to 2 lbs. per day? Any Suggestions? I have always been rather skinny. Dan
