Brief Answer:
No sugar snacks and butter milk are advised
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
Sir, In a very weak condition, you can opt for electral. But not always. Keep him on no sugar snacks available n the market in between the meals which prevent him from being hungry and weak. Butter milk also is very good for him in such conditions.
Hope this guides you. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing your father good health.
