A 7 lb weight gain is awesome news!!! My dad really struggled with eating, and I know us telling him "you need to eat, you need to eat" was probably annoying when he just couldn't bear to do it. Your post has made my day! I'm VERY happy you have had this major breakthrough and actually are getting hungry. Fingers crossed it continues!!
