My husband taste has change said he no longer likes things he use to love , very hard to cook for him .

All these are good information. Thank you all. I am drinking the ensure product some morning when I do not have time to make my smoothie. It gets thick if I make it the night before. My hubby also complains about strange smells. He asks if it is him that is smelly. When it is, I tell him so. Like someone else said what he likes today he may not like tomorrow. For awhile all the wanted was Dinty Moore beef stew so I bought a case of the individual servings. Now he does not like them anymore. Same with the nuts he liked. He got upset when he ran out so I bought several cans. Now he does not like them.

If it helps my mother in the middle to end stages couldn't stand smells and did not like the flavor of foods she use to like. She started eating all different things and she was a picky eater in the past. At times she just would not eat and they (dementia unit) said it was normal for her illness. Family had to just ignore it so we did. I must say her appetite declined more each stage and over the years. I saw some of the patients with my mother having fits when they had to eat, as my mother sometimes. If the family and loved ones that have to change as our loved one cannot.

Yes - but only for a while was it a big concern. - thank goodness he likes cereal for some meals - and Ensure when he is realy bothered.

Rhonda, I know just where you're coming from. My boy used to love going to dinner occasionally, now if I suggest it he doesn't want to.
What I cooked today was great, but you can bet your life if I cook the same thing next week he won't like it. Makes it terribly difficult trying to (a) please him and (b) entertain him.
