Re: Just don't feel like eating...
When I had chemo, most things did not taste right. Cooked spinach and cooked bell peppers were the worst. Coke and pepsi smelled like perfume and I could smell them across the room. I don't know what they would have tasted like, I couldn't get past the smell. For some reason cottage cheese and pineapple were one of the few things I ate. I also drank one of those probiotic yogurts every day. It seemed to help with the digestive disturbances. Bland foods were better and even with the steroids I didn't each much. Mashed potatoes were a staple too.
