For weeks on end I white knuckled down only Ensure Plus and Boost Plus. The nutritionist also recommended straight cream and/or a tablespoon of canola oil - that's a lot of calories in a small amount.

See what the doc can give you to keep the food down. Maybe something like Zofran or Emend for nausea to stop the initial booting reflex would help.

You should seriously consider seeing a nutritionist. Your hospital should have one available to you. S/he'll give you great ideas.

Also, when I was in the hospital last time, I was unable to eat and refused a throat feeding tube (long story). They fed me through an IV for 5 days and I didn't lose weight (another story when I returned home). Your hospital may be able to hook you up once a week to get some nutrition and calories into you.
