Nutritional drinks

Have you thought about speaking to your team about involving the dietitian in your care . They are really good at giving tips to maximise calories but retaining nutrition. They can also arrange a prescription for build up drinks .

My mum could only stomach the chicken soup one from complan . But not sure it’s free of additives . The prescription ones were better and sweeter .

To be honest we boosted my mum’s weight by using milk shakes . Added a scoop of ice cream and a chocolate bar . She could not drink it in one sitting but slowly sipped it over a period of time . It stopped the weight loss and was not too demanding to take . I can assure you once the opportunity presented itself she went back to her previous healthy diet .

Our helpline staff might be able to get you some information.

 PeterPandora I was given Fortisip in hospital but sone flavours were better than others. My doctor also prescribed some on prescription. There might be a few ideas on here too?
