Cindywi, your husband's treatment parallels mine, almost down to the day. Like him, I eat only for calories as my taste is still extemely distorted/disminished.

The hair on the back of my head grew back after about 3 months. It is somewhat thinner and finer and slower growing than before, but it fills in just fine.

linda, I understand the food phobia-mine went on for nearly 4 months while I lived on Ensure and Naturade weight gain and Prosure, probably less than 2000 total calories every day. Weight loss is 30 lbs (without a PEG). I'm now back to eating and off the Ensure (for the most part), but I haven't put on any weight yet. My energy level has improved significantly, though, with food.
