Some good things to try, Milk Shakes, Mashed Potato's, Apple Sauce.

When my father was going thru thios, we gave him Ensure mixed with ice cream....he would drink those shakes 6-8 times a day....Butter Pecan was his favorite.....they kept him nourished and he stopped loosing weight......and it made his throat feel better....maybe Ken would like Ensure mixed with ice cream for a malt...It will meet his caloric needs as well as nutritional requirements.
