More Items to Consider
At this time in my life with a surgery gone completely wrong, this Osmolite is keeping me alive. Now over 5 years, it’s all I can really swallow. That is low in sugar but high in calories etc. I do not wish this on anyone.
only formula I can use
Thank you 🙏🏻 all for providing me with this necessity product at a price that I can manage. The insurance won’t pay for it because I didn’t want a peg in my abdomen anymore, they kept popping out. So I tried to swallow it. Because I’m drinking it, they won’t pay for it. Stupid isn’t it?
My husband has been on Osmolite 1.5 cal as his only source of sustenance recommended by his nutritionist. After 5 months of being in this product, he has not lost weight or energy, he’s actually doing very well, considering he’s a feeding tube.
Great price, very fast delivery.
