Hi Kimberly. Keep looking as I'm sure you'll find something or perhaps have new ideas inspired by old ones. I've always been able to eat solid food, so I can't speak about a liquid diet. But I can speak about boredom. Even though I could eat solids through my treatment, when I had lost my sense of taste there was no food that I could enjoy and it was a severe bummer! The only advice I could give you friend's husband is patience and be glad you're taking your food orally rather than through a tube. Hang in there! It should get better with time.
