My 87 year old Mother had ovarian cancer and now has a colostomy (14 years). She has had dementia for the last 5-6 years. She recently was hospitalized and the colostomy was moved to the other side. She has had 3 surgeries in less than a month. She has been in the hospital for over a month. Of course, she is very confused. She now seems very concerned with her weight. She was a GREAT eater prior to this hospitalization, but now is happy she is losing weight. She says, nothing tastes good and picks at everything. Is this normal to lose taste or could there be there some underlying reason she is not eating?
