Hi Carol,

When I was feeding myself Jevity and it was an 8oz. can. It contained 250 calories per can. I mixed carnation Instant Breakfast (1 Pkg.) to every two cans I injected into my peg tube. This added 120 calories four times a day. I was taking in about 2600 calories per day. I am also a small man, nornal weight of 145 lbs. I was able to inject two cans per feeding with no problem. I also crushed a lactaid pill and mixed it in, It kept me solid. I topped it off with about 6 ounces of Gatorade and finished with a water flush of the tube of 8 oz, of water. Remember to always flush the tube with water when done.

Also when full the stopper on the tube would pop open if I bent over. That was a real treat!!!
We learned to use a small rubber band to make sure it couldn't pop open.

I got back to my normal weight in about 6 weeeks.
