Talk to her doctor. Mom going through something similar. Try ProStat and/or ProSource. ProStat is a syrup that can be mixed into ice cream, water to make punch etc. ProSource is a powder can be mixed into foods. Hospital gave it to Mom but readily available as a source of protein. Google it or speak to her doctor, he should know where to get it (even a local hospital might be able to help). I know it's hard, going through it myself. Best of luck to you and your mom.

I guess as people age their tastebuds change. My parents were health enthusiasts and ate excellent diets until my mother became unable to cook. Due to my mom’s mobility problems my dad started doing the grocery shopping and look out! He buys frozen dinners, donuts, ice cream and nuts. It was actually shocking to me to come in their house and see my mother eating Blue Bell ice cream out of the gallon container!

They got hooked up with a senior lunch program and then I knew they at least got one meal a day.

Now my mom’s in AL and they have an outstanding cook! She’s finally putting on weight and my dad eats lunch with her off and on. He’s fond of the Hardee’s fast food joint near my mom’s AL facility.
