Food?

[Margarita]

If you do not give your mum a choice just gave it to her after complaining does she still eat it.

Do you actually see her eating? even if she does not like it ?

I take my Mum a couple of bananas to eat, when I've just been shopping and she really enjoys them. She finds apples are a bit hard, unless they are cut up, which is a bit difficult in the NH. I took her some nectarines at the weekend, and these were easy and soft to eat, and the nurse said that she had no problems with the stone inside. I only take a little fruit at a time , just in case she eats it all at once!I saw the menu for Tuesday's meals, this afternoon, and there was a good range of choices, including fresh fruit and vegetables. The lunch and supper are both quite substantial meals and from the menu, seem to be sound, nuritionally.

No longer with us . . .

Mum passed away 07/03/07 - peacefully, painlessly in her sleep. Thankfully I was with her during the night and apart from just over half an hour, right up to the moment that she went. She'd been in hospital for nearly four weeks (not Alzheimeir's related) and it was a blessed release at the end.

I would just like to thank those of you who took the trouble to advise me last year.

Take care all and best wishes

I was actually going to post a similar topic. I suppose my mum certainly does not go hungry but I am worried in a way that she is maybe not eating a healthy diet. It is impossible to get my mum to eat things like cereals, chicken, meat, veg. She will eat cheese on toast, ham and cheese sandwiches, thankfully will eat wholemeal bread, scones, will still eat boiled eggs, tuna, biscuits,chocolate, orange juice,water,I can still get her to eat some fruits, and lately she will eat salmon. But I suppose am worried that I can't get her to eat healthier.

eating problems

Hi there! I am new to this board and am grateful to have found you all.

My Mum is in the early stages of Alzheiner's. Still living on her own, short term memory problems, etc. Apart from the loneliness, her main problem is mealtimes. It doesn't seem to matter what I cook or how I cook it, she doesn't like it: it smells funny, tastes funny, can't chew it..........

I was wonderng if anyone else has had similar experiences and if you have any hints/suggestions/advice?

Thanks in advance

xx

my mother had the same problem we found out she didnt like eating alone now she will eat most of time the odd time we just put bits of different food on plate she seems to like that hubby went through same he is eating food he would not have before, i just put meals down for him i dont make a fuss as we all will eat when hungry hope this is some use pashandjas

Dear Road2Nowhere
I'm sorry to hear about your mum
My own mum died 12th February and I too was lucky to be with her at the end.
I am sure now that she is whole again and I am so proud of her for putting up such a brave fight.
Take care
