Guest guest Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 Maureen - Have you tried " Butter Pecan " flavor Ensure? It's the tastiest as far as my husband (with CP) and I are concerned. It is more expensive, but sometimes is on sale or coupons. If you can tolerate it, it would be worth the expense. Ensure also has " HP " and " Plus " for more nutrition and sometimes you can find Butter Pecan in those types. Strange that some people can't lose weight and some have trouble gaining! My husband has worked up to 125 from a low of 104 when he was so sick back in the summer. He's doing well with his second stent, but Dr. Pappas (at Duke) thinks he needs to have surgery so the stents won't be necessary. They'll discuss that at his next appt the first part of November. I thought the stents could be replaced over and over. What's the problem with that? But we trust Dr. Pappas and like Henry said, if he keeps having stents he'll keep going up and downhill when the stents get blocked. (Guess I answered my own question, but I'd like some feedback). Henry's eating well and using the Creon and antiacid before meals. Also drinking several Ensures or Boosts a day. Haven't posted much lately, but I'm following all the different stories and it is very informative. Ginny White Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
