My husband had a similar experience with weight loss following his surgery. Through advice given on this board we found Carnation VHC which has 560 calories a can. My husband puts 3 cans of this and 3 cans of Jevity 1.5 in the peg everyday. He has gained weight back and maintained it for quite some time now even still being on chemo. Ask your doctor about it but you can order it yourself from Amzaon.com and some of the proceeds go to OCF. We, however, get it from the company that supplies the feeding pump and the Jevity as our insurance covers some of the cost. Keep coming here, the advice is priceless.
