He’s not even getting a 1000 calories, the dr said it’s ok right now, he will gradually as he gets better. He has no appetite and it’s hard to get food down. Drinking boost and aft foods.

I know you are worried. This will all take a while to get better. 1000 calories is good if he isn't active. I am sure food, if it tastes at all, doesn't taste good. 7-UP or milkshakes perhaps. He is most likely depressed and feels like crap. I had tea at the Ritz in London since I was in his shoes so life does get better.
