I don’t understand that either. I feel like they should be able to do something for you though, even as you try to gain weight-maybe get a second opinion? My hubby never had excessive trouble eating, just some swallowing issues when it came to things like bread and steak. They have encouraged him throughout treatment to drink high protein drinks like Boost and I think that helped. He lost and gained back about 12 pounds. I’m very nervous about the aftermath of surgery, however.
