Hi Dinah,

My father is actually getting the calories because i bought him a weight gain powdered from the nutrition store which has 760 calories in a 16 oz. serving plus he adds an ensure to that as well. He is drinking sometimes 3 of these a day. So that is close to 3000 calories a day. I would think that is alot of calories and he would gain weight, but hes not. Like I said last week he weighed 111 then tuesday they weighed him agian and now hes 106. At this point I am frustrated with the doctors because they have ignored my feeling and my fathers. A month a ago i asked one of his doctors what the he thought was going to happen with my father because truthfully I really thought I was watching him die right before me and that devestated my and the doctors words to me were " You are asking my in appriopate question". It saddens me to think my father has gone through this and he doesn't know if he will live another year. Did I mention he is 51 years old. I have been his sole means of support emotionally, physically and financially.

Thank you for everyones replies.
