Do you know how long it takes before the weight goes back on, he’s been eating good now for a month and only 4lbs up, we thought it would be more. He lost almost 30 lbs.

4 pounds in a month sounds good. He is getting what he needs plus a bit to store away.
For me if I can recall it took almost a year to gain back 35 I lost.
On the mend is music to the soul.

It takes a while.
I went from 168 down to 140 and I have still only gone back up about 8 lbs since December. I do excercises most days too. So that’s more calories used. I eat all of the time.
Good to hear that he is able to eat now. Just be patient as long as he’s trending up that’s good!
