Why are you only on a BRAT diet? I can't remember if they've tried you on Zofran, and if so, why the Kytril instead, and at what dose of Zofran were you on?
Have you considered adding injected B6 instead of going to the PICC or NG tube? You might pull out of this soon. Often the B6/Unisom really helps, and even the injected B6 makes a huge difference.
Reglan helps the most if you're actually eating - not much of a difference on the nausea, usually, just moving things through. I'm really surprised about the BRAT diet - HGers are usually told to eat anything they can that will stay down and that is remotely interesting to them! If you're not dehydrated, and you're eating, that's wonderful! It's also great you're not sliding backwards. I can understand wanting you to put weight on, soon, but is it so hopeless that you'll be able to do so on your own?!?
Huge hugs, and keep us posted,
