Glad your husband has managed to put on a few pounds. It's good that he is willing to try different things. My son's progress at 3 months post treatment was slow and his tastes changed from day to day - when we found something he liked I made the mistake of buying a lot of it only to find he didn't like it anymore - so small quantities are better. My son eats almost as well as before treatment and enjoys all kinds of foods, although he does like to have sauces or gravies as accompaniments. I always found it interesting to hear his odd descriptions of what a particular food tasted like and I knew I wouldn't like it either if that's what it tasted like. The taste buds do weird things while they are healing.
