One I have at home was about $10 for a huge container at wal-mart, and has 170 calories per scoop ( about the size of a formula scoop). I personally make one for myself with frozen fruit, a single serve yogurt cup, a scoop of protein powder and enough milk for the right consistency.<br /><br />I know right now it is a calories thing for her--you need to get enough calories in her to keep her healthy, and she just doesn't have the appetite or desire to eat. I had this issue with my youngest a few times--he had bad cases of gastroenteritis as a toddler and would stop eating for up to 10 days at a time. I can remember having to force feed him a pedialyte slushie because he hadn't peed in like 8 hours, maybe more.sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751389029725410849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8581317431133132518.post-70555068194885804182011-04-22T11:24:42.204-05:002011-04-22T11:24:42.204-05:00Thanks!

Years ago I worked in a nursing home and they used to make milkshakes with ensure ( instead of milk) for the underweight residents.sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751389029725410849noreply@blogger.com
