No matter how much Ensure, alcohol, sugar or full fat milk I put in my weight keeps dropping. I'm now 10.5 stone and if it wasn't for my inability to kiss or smile I think I might even be appealing. As it is it's a race between weight and MND for who gets to kill me first. Life is truly a female dog. ππx

You kinda need to know what calories you are consuming everyday and to know what you should be aiming for.
I don't know what you take, but those Ensure Compact, for example, contain 300cals so, if that's all you were taking, you would need to have 8 bottles to get 2400cals, which is an average daily calorie requirement for an average man. (I know you are far from being an average man ππ) This figure can vary. Ideally a Dietitian should have had a chat with you around the time of your PEG procedure so you not flying blind π€βDiagnosed 03/2007. Sporadic Definite ALS/MND Spinal (hand) Onset.

My dietitian is an immature waste of space. I'm halfway to eight bottles but I'm not over fussed. I know you want me around but I'm seriously not bothered. I don't want it to rule what life I have left I guess. πxBulbar started Jan 2020. Mute and 100% tube fed but mobile and undefeated. Stay Strong π€ππ€πxx

Doubling your Ensure intake overnight may make you feel π€’ not to mention how it may affect your bowels...
