I'm trying to help my dad maintain his weight as long as possible. Do you have any advice on any nutritional supplements, vitamins, or anything you know of to boost one's appetite. Thank you for any suggestions.
 
My mom has been living off Ensure/Boost for 1.5 years (not anymore since she has not eaten for 2 months). Her weight stayed at a great level and I must say she really has progressed once this nutrition stopped. She drank 3 glasses a day, then 2 then 1...but it was the best thing for her.
 
As for boosting appetite, not much you can do. BUT, this is sort of in the unethical area..perhaps eat good smelling foods around her? It should make her hungry.
