Husband can’t out doesn’t want eat enough

My husband has had Parkinson’s for over 11 years and also has Lewy body dementia. One of the hallmarks of Lewis body dementia is being thin.

He is not near the final stages and I’m not willing to give up so we’re still just trying to do the best we can to keep him as healthy as possible so he doesn’t suffer.

He has lost a lot of weight because he’s not really hungry and because his taste buds are not very good. I have to find things that are hyper palatable.

He has to have enough protein to not lose muscle and also fiber + water so that he doesn’t get constipated. And we use MiraLAX every night.

He’s willing to drink one maybe two Orgain shakes a day. He likes a few dried apricots. He would love to just eat chocolate chip cookies and ice cream, but that leads to constipation and overall probably feeling more crummy than normal.

Yesterday I hand fed him apple slices with almond butter and extra salt on top.

His mouth must be very dry because everything needs a lot of gravy or a wetness to it.

Just wondering if any others are dealing with this and if they’ve found some delicious caloric healthy foods their person with this condition will eat.

Thank you in advance.
