The Egyptian national is being treated by a team led by Dr Mufazzal Lakdawala at the hospital where she underwent a weight loss surgery earlier this month.


"Eman's current weight is 358 kg," the hospital said in a statement on Saturday.


When Ahmed arrived in Mumbai on February 11, 2017 for a weight-reduction surgery by a specially modified aircraft, she weighed 500 kg.


She is currently on "two hourly liquid feeding regime" where she is given low-sodium protein powder mixed with soy milk. Daily, she receives about 1,800 calories, the statement said.


"Her levels of uric acid remain a challenge," it added.


Eman still receives her feed through a tube because of the difficulty in swallowing fluids due to a stroke she had suffered earlier, doctors said.
