Like Hockeydad mentioned you have to do whatever it takes. And please don't take this in the wrong way. But have you tried balling your eyes out the next time he starts to push food that you lovingly prepared for his good health.
When I got to the point where it was painful and no taste. I did have my sence of smell and I would smell my food for a little while.

And taking pain meds about 20 minutes before din. din. made it easier to eat.
