Ice cream can traqnslate to milk shakes and you can get extra fluids down that way. Also try fruit smoothies sweetened with honey.

Thanks for tiring to help. I've done everyone you suggested. NO good. 1) She doesn't like the taste of any nutritional drinks, won't driink it. 2) Daily sips throughout the day, constantly refuses. 3) Doctor suggest to keep feeding her to keep up her strength. I've even cheated giving her ice cream, cookies, cream puffs, and candy just get some calories in her (she'll eat some junk stuff). Thanks for listening, caring enough to respond, just needed to vent.

Can your doctor suggest a dietitician to take her to?
Have you tried offering her sips of water throughout the day? One sip here, one there?
What about nutritional drinks like Boost and Ensure with extra calories?
I wish I had better advice. This is all I can think of.

I tried fruits and vegetables. She eat very little, about half of a salad plate size. I give her soup, jello, ice, snow cones, watermelon, any thing with water content. She just complains that she doesn't want to eat much or she so full. She down to 80 lbs. Her doctor says if she doesn't gain weight and keep hydrated, she'll have to go to the hospital. I've threaten her with this, no good. She doesn't want to eat or drink. She doesn't care, she just waiting to die!!. Help.

Maybe try adding a lot of fruit to her diet? It will help some.
