Re: Just don't feel like eating...
My oncologist gave me permission to eat whatever I wanted. She even encouraged milkshakes and burgers if that's what it took. This is a time for calorie dense things in small, frequent meals. Like cheese and crackers , yogurt , ice cream, peanut butter, soups. Baked potato. Whatever appeals to you. I drank a lot of Ensure too. I didn't feel like cooking so ate a lot of those Hormel prepared entrees. Beef tips in gravy and that sort of thing. Pre packaged mashed potatoes. Not my normal fare. But it was no- brainer nutrition There were some little frozen brocolli/cheese snack things that I grazed on. Can't stand the sight of them now!
Just find what works and hang in. Won't be forever. Just for now
Keep the faith
