[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP not sure if you’re still reading this but on Amazon they sell *very* high calorie Boost. It’s 530 calories each and the chocolate flavor is good. You may want to try Miralax alongside because meal replacements don’t contain fiber.

Load up on butter, cream, sugar on foods also. Cheesecake, peanut butter, and full fat Havana Daas ice cream is also great. You can make or buy milkshakes. The DQ ones are loaded with calories. [/quote]

Yup, I'm here, was at work-but thanks to everyone who responded!

I'm actually picking up Mom in a few to go to walmart to get a few small packs of Boost High Calorie. Going to let Dad try them before a bulk order. Mom got a little overwhelmed-she actually told the dr yesterday 'Larlo hasn't lost any weight, they weighed him wrong (in April '22)' ...Even Dad looked at her and said, Yes I have lost weight. (the dr is fully aware of the fast 20lb weight loss then and it's a symptom of parkinsons progression). So there's that, it's got to be hard watching your dh of 57 years decline. But we actually did stop for DQ after![/quote]
