He is elderly, and lives alone. He told me that he just doesn`t care about eating. He said, normally, he`s not hungry, and he NEEDS to gain weight.
He has health problems, and the extra nutrients would do him good.
I was thinking of taking him meals. Suggestions?
He has "other problems" not related to his weight, in general. This is something totally diffrent. I am thinking that because he has such poor eating habits, that it could be a reason, or factor for him to not heal, from his problem. Does that make sense?
He is a frail man, who just doesn`t eat right. I would think, that would affect his "overall."
My question was...what can I suggest, to get him to gain weight?"
My suggestion is to not play doctor. Take him to a professional and let the professional decide. Look for a geriatric guy.
Internet forums are not the place to seek professional medical advice.
That's what I would do.
You are soo helpful!!!
They do have a section called Health and Wellness on public forums, for simple questions like this one...or have you not took notice?
Yankeegirl, i wonder if he would do well with eating stew made from a crockpot? You could put lots of different vege's in it as they have vitamins, minerals and antioxidants along with some meat to ensure he's getting protein. Add a high potassium fruit on the side like banana or an orange and i'd think he would do well with that. It would seem to me that cooking in a crockpot would not be so burdensome compared to frying/baking meat and cooking other vegetables in different pots and pans etc.
Anyway i'm not sure if this would help but it's just my thought about it .
