I'm ingesting through PEG tube between 500 and 800 calories a day and I'm maintaining my weight.  Doctor doesn't know why.  How can anyone not continue to lose weight on 500 calories a day?  This has been going on for weeks.  I have very small stool that I pass every other day.  Don't know what to make of this.
