(11,093 posts)That's what we're trying to determine, but I don't know your case and shouldn't give specific medical advice anyway.
I would (as I think you want to) encourage your wife to continue with the good food and drink. Tell her it gives you vicarious pleasure and it's a way you can both enjoy it, even if you are just watching and smelling (and maybe you can grab a sip or something - I don't know what your ability will be).
In my case, once I stopped eating, I also stopped cooking unless requested. I think I'm a pretty good cook, did it semi-professionally for a while and always cooked for my family (no one else enjoyed cooking, they just enjoyed eating, which is fine. In cars, some are drivers and some are riders). If you still have your appetite, go for it.
If it was me, though, I wouldn't have my wife order any prime rib. That'd be pushing it for me.
Best going forward, and keep us appraised; you sound like you're doing an excellent job of that anyway.
