Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | You make your hubby eat. I notice you didn't say they removed his teetH. Make him est and he can put up with the side affects. If I could put anyhting solid in my mouth and chew it, I bet I could back some of the 70 lbs I lost. It will also make him very weak. I got to the point where I couldn't navigate in my house from being so weak. After I started eating VHC and whatever I could swallow without chewing, I regained a lot of my strength . I am like the lil energizer bunny, always on the move after being helpless almost. I have heard different amounts of water but for sure he needs the 2000 calories a day. Grab him by the collar and say look here MR, I am the boss and you will eat. LOL
