Liquid nutrition
Hi Mary Lou-
My husband has had good luck with a nutritional drink called Nestle VHC (Very High Calorie). It has 560 calories and 23 gr of protein. We showed it to the dietician and she said it is complete nutrition if he drinks 4 a day. They are 8 oz cans so it is easier for him to get them down. I believe that it has really helped him maintain his weight because he doesn't eat enough otherwise. The only problem is that you can only buy it online. I found it for $31 a case of 24 and it usually arrives within a few days.
And thankfully-he likes it!
Good luck-
