Liquid hope has no corn syrup in it. Medicare and insurance covers I found nation DME in Murfreesboro tn. It is only formula I could tolerate. It is gmo free and Taste good. My wife adds protein. I use lose it app which helps me keep track of nutrients.

You can thin it down, my wife feeds me via syring.

I had to give up on the formulas from Nestle (IsoSource and Nutren) - I couldn't tolerate them (let's just say they raced their way through my system and left me depleted). I found the website for tubies and have used some of their information to create my own blenderized recipes. I don't use a pump, only gravity (no plunger). There are two keys that I have found that help: blending your mixture long enough (sometimes this takes more than a few minutes) and dilution with enough water. This is important not only with my home made recipes but also with the Liquid Hope (which I am a big fan of because of the nutrition it delivers) as it is very thick.

If your hubby has only lost 4 pounds then you are doing a great job getting nutrition into him! Keep on plugging away and trying new things. If he is still in treatment (I realize I am late to the dance here) you might want to blanch any raw foods you include in the blender versions to cut down on exposing his depleted immune system to anything that might linger after thorough washing).

Prayers your way,

Nutren was very hard on me as well. Been on Fiber Source 2.0 and handling it pretty well for about 5 months now. I began having some reflux issues and was cut back to 8 oz. per feeding, with more frequent feedings (Already on Omeprozole). It done the trick! So far so good. Going to search out the websites Gary and others mention. I have been able to up my oral intake some (After being told I probably wouldn't ever have a normal oral diet; Yeah, I'm stubborn that way), but I haven't attempted to blend anything on my own at this point. Plus, five minutes with a tube feed compared to a couple hours to even make a dent in a meal, well, yes, I can calculate the hours in ones day. Still, feeling blessed I'm getting some "Normal" satisfaction (With a ton of water-LOL). Best to all.

I wanted to let everyone know that the surgeons finally agreed to a low profile MicKey button. I have had it for just over a month. To date I find it far superior to the MicKey with the long tube. The surgeon warned my wife after my throat dilation and the placing of the MicKey Button that he only did it because I insisted but that it would be "problems". This he said when he never had put one in before.
This little button is easy to use, does not get caught when I roll over in bed or play golf, seems more hygiene and guess what-I now swim with a waterproof patch.
If anyone is considering a MicKey low profile I highly recommend.
