Somebody on here recommended 'Weight Gain Smoothies' by Danny Gansneder (I downloaded it onto my Kindle from Amazon). The first recipe has 2000 calories! I made up half quantities (I think) and split it into 3 using those little glass bottles. My hubby would sip one and I put the others in the fridge for later. They worked much better than the drinks that the hospital gave us, which were too sweet.

Definitely worth a try I think.

Good luck
