He has seen a dietician, knowing what food to eat isn't the problem. The issue is with his constant nausea and anorexia, which is the job of doctors, not dietitians.

Gonna be very candid with you. I am a Year and 1/2 into this situation as the wife/caregiver. There are no fixes for this problem. My dietician has spent more time explaining just HOW everything now works following this extensive surgery. Nausea that lasts for 2 hrs. Fear,depression and weight loss. Being on the feeding tube - almost a year, probably saved his life. There are options like tinctures that you control the dosage and help with appetite. I will add here, while your intentions are great, a long distance caregiver role is going to be very frustrating. Again, almost 2 yrs into this nightmare..good luck
