Re: Wbr unable to eat

I'm sorry to hear that you are unable to eat. When I was feeling too sick to eat I would drink ice cold vanilla and/or strawberry meal replacement drinks. I got them at Walmart and they were basically the generic version of ensure. I'd drink them through a straw which seemed to help.

I also found that scrambled eggs went down pretty easy. I'd add extra egg whites in order to get extra protein. Cream of wheat, oatmeal, mashed sweet potatoes also seemed to be tolerable.

Good luck to you

Re: Wbr unable to eat

I too am sorry you are having difficulty eating, I found that to be one of the most troublesome problems to overcome during chemo. I knew I had to do it, but just didn't want to. For me, fruit smoothies were tolerable. I made them with vanilla Greek yogurt, frozen fruit, and ice. Here is a link for a nutritious broth that I sipped on too.http://rebeccakatz.com/soups-broths/...mineral-broth/ Wishing you the best.
