What's the best to do when your dr says your losing too much weight from muscle and bone loss? My elder neighbor down the rd has lost a lot of weight sense her hubby died 2 1/2 months ago.She's not eating a lot and has lost from 200 plus down to 157.Her dr. told her to drink ensure,but lets face it,at 2 a day,she can't afford that stuff.I was thinking of maybe the whey protein shakes as it's cheaper $16.00 a huge jug at walmart, and is protein,of which is what she needs,Any suggestions would be appreciated,Thanks in advance.Maybe a calcium 'tum' for clacium?
