Welcome @burningbelly, you'll notice that I moved your question about a Crohn's-friendly high-calorie, liquid meals to gain weight to this existing discussion:
- How do you gain weight with Crohn's Disease? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/gaining-weight-1/

I did this so you can connect with other people like @macombs @bikerjack @thankful @guener @sandyjr @jcarndt who are talking about Crohn's and diet.

Burningbelly, I can understand your wanting to avoid the feeding tube. Did you have the esophagectomy related to cancer or a digestive condition?
