[quote=Anonymous]Boost is what made the difference for us. She had been ignoring her hunger cues for so long that she no longer recognized them. So she started drinking boost on a regular schedule (4 times a day). It is easier to drink than eat so she was able to do that even when she didn't perceive feelings of hunger. As she got better nutrition, she was better able to feel hunger and so better able to eat. She still drinks one boost a day and will never be the most adventurous eater, but the doctors are pleased with her weight, she eats at least one full meal a day plus snacks, and she can order off the menu at most restaurants.[/quote]
