Unfortunately, a dietitian cannot help with his lack of appetite. I can prepare a nutritious meal but he can only eat a small portion of it when he says he is full. Going calorie negative one more time. I'm hoping that when his cancer injection is started next week that maybe he will be able to eat more. He is also drinking Boost and having ice cream sundaes to increase his calories. I'll be happy when his weight stops dropping.

His Oncologist gave him a B12 shot along with his fluids infusion and cancer injection January 2. His appetite is back and has gained 5 pounds. His energy level is up and is starting to take a walk outside. Hopefully, we have turned the corner on the weight loss. Fingers crossed.

I have a similar problem off and on with my husband (who is undergoing chemo). The Jimmy Dean Bacon breakfast bowl is something that he can usually stomach and gives him 400 calories + 26 gm protein.
In trying to stuff calories, cheesecake is something to look at. We got a cheesecake for Christmas that had 640 calories per 1/8 of the cake. Too bad my husband doesn't like cheesecake!
