Hello Hannelie17, 

Welcome to our forum! How nice of you to be making all these nutritious liquid meals for your friend. I am sure he really appreciates it. It's a shame though that he isn't able to take much before he feels really bloated. I hope that you will meet others on the forum who have faced similar issues when preparing liquid meals for a loved one and that they will be along to share their experience with you. 

We have information on our website which includes tips to help someone who is on a soft or liquid diet put on weight on this page. I hope this will be helpful to you. Feel free also to give our nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 if you would like to discuss this with them - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

I hope this helps and that your friend manages to eat a little more soon.

Best wishes,

Hello, so  sad to hear this, but my husband lost his fight back in June, I know they can only eat very small amounts, so maybe just little and often. I couldn't even see my husband due to Covid. But just be there is so comforting.
