What on earth can I make her eat to get weight on?
I have encouraged her to use full fat everything, but I suspect she's just not eating at all some days looking at what I throw away in her fridge. The GP knows she is frail and has given her shake drinks but these are supplements for vitamins not really for putting weight on.
She told me she never feels hungry these days so obviously isn't prompted, I call her each day and ask what she's eaten, like a broken record. Then I go round to find the ready meals are too much and half is left in the fridge so she's eating minute amounts, her stomach must have shrunk so much. I fear if she gets ill then there is nothing about her to fight it.
She has lost a further half stone since last September, has previously had scans ets now the consultant is checking for other issues i.e hyper thyroid, diabetes etc in bloodwork done Tuesday.
Any ideas what I can do?
