Appetite

[Plumeria]

How do you increase appetite for a hemo dialysis patient? My husband won't eat. Loosing a lot of weight.

Good morning!!!!!

Loosing appetite, to me anyway, is a given. Ask the nurse at the center about protein drinks, I get glucose control mailed to me and LiguaCel which comes in different flavors. Talk to some on who can help. Call his center asap to get help on which way to go.

I, too, have a hard time eating. I hope and pray that things will get better.

Hi was on Hemo for 4 years before that PD for 3 years I also lost a lot of weight I would eat a lot of peanut butter on toast or glucerna “ for diabetics” There’s several meal replacements drinks, and if all elese fails Cannabis will increase your appetite! Dave had transplant 5 months ago🙏

Cannabis 100% specifically edibles and flower/bud, about 7-8 konths ago I was 61.5 kil= 135lbs and now I weigh 71.0 kil =156lbs (with muscle).

Also, the amazing benefits from eating marijuana, I was able to not only gain muscle, but also kick heavy addictive drugs I was prescribed (xanax, kpin, Oxy etc)

That should make a big difference 🙂

I'll also be interested ion the reply to this. I've been on dialysis for several months and have no desire to eat. Nothing tastes right so I have to force myself to eat asst least some nutritional food and a protein drink. Other patients tell me that the nasty taste will eventually go away. I hope you find that this happens for you.
