Re: no appetite.......

I was the same. Couldn't eat a thing. My husband was so worried he wanted me to go into the hospital and get an IV. He made me drink carnation instant breakfast. Loaded with protein and nutrients. If I had a better day I would force myself to eat. The thought of food was horrible. It will get better. The initial shock and fear is just so overwhelming. Hard boiled eggs, yogurt any thing easy that just kind of slides down as gross as that sounds. Good luck and in a year when your appetite comes back and u r feeling pretty good u will wish it hadn't. Ha ha. Mine came back with a vengeance. I started craving things I never even liked before. Still hate sweet potatoes tho. Lol. This to shall pass. Hang in there. We r here for u. Darlene
