Bottom line is you MUST get more calories in or you will soon hit a brick wall, probably ending with hospitalization. Ive been down that road and its horrible. Im sure I gave you the minimums and explained how important they were... at least 2500 calories and 48-64 oz of water every single day until you hit your one year anniversary post rads.
Good luck!!!
