[quote=Anonymous]Have recognized nutrition doesn't need to be chewed? It took me a while to get there but that's really where I needed to get. Once I did, I got samples of pretty much every meal replacement drink hoping to find just one that DS would drink - this was after he even stopped eating cupcakes because he just had no appetite. I stuffed him with high calorie/high protein food before/after the meds kicked in and gave him a meal replacement drink (High Protein Boost Chocolate was his preferred choice) for lunch. His teachers were really helpful in helping to ensure he drank it. I had some concerns that this 'diet' would set DS up for poor eating habits when he got older. The specialists weren't concerned because there was nothing 'behavioral' about his diet. He just wasn't hungry. DS is now 19 and by the time he was in middle school, lack of appetite/weight was no longer an issue. Good luck![/quote]
