Oral cancer diet: If she's limited to a liquid diet and losing weight, she should be on a high fat, high calorie, high protein diet to maintain her metabolism and gain weight. There are many supplements available which can provide complete nutrition, including ensure plus and others. Try a variety of supplements and help her find one she likes and will tolerate. Good luck!
