As I mentioned
I finished in November and have just started to slowly gain back. It’s very hard to gain until you can swallow better and have the desire to really eat again. Just focus on 2000 cal to maintain until he feels hungry and able. It’s easy to confound so many issues and it will make you nuts!

@cris2 I certainly did not have the experience many had and am blessed for that. But it challenged me in my own way and still does 6 weeks after surgery. They told me I would most likely be on a tube if I didn't eat or drink. I put that in my mind as unacceptable and visualized doing it. And it worked. After that I just said that I have to do what I'm supposed to be doing and that is healing. Sometimes the sadness is overwhelming but I just have to get up and fight. A lot of times we don't recognize our caregivers. My wife is my angel and he sure is lucky to have you. That's a huge deal that we sometimes miss.
