My mam is 68 she had major surgery for kindney stones some of them were unable to be removed. She has been out of hospital for 7 months at a weight of 9 st, she is now approx 7.5 st and struggling to keep her meals down also in much pain most of the time and with water infections evry other week.

Any help and avice to build her appetite up a little to help her beat this  please.......

I would suggest you bring your mother back to her gp perhaps she needs to be referred back to consultant.   In the meantime,  four small meals might be more appealing than three larger ones daily.

Hi, how upsetting for you. I would take your mum to her gp today if you can. No one should suffer pain in this day & age.
