@oliverpuppy All that food sounds wonderful but when I eat all I can do is 3-4 mouthfuls and I'm done. I just don't feel like eating. It sux!!! I want to eat believe me.

@alberth drink high protein 530 calories Boost! It gives the most energy from the least amount food and should go down easy. Weight is extremely important and if you continue to not eat three bites you’re going to need a feeding tube. Between four and six boosts a day depending on what your ideal weight is. You can sip it off and on all day. I had trouble eating food at all and boost was essential to my survival.

@alberth You can add cottage cheese when you cook your scrambled eggs. Boosts the protein and increases the cream knees and eases swallowing. If your using protein shakes add ice cream and blend.
