I SO understand your frustration. I'm going on five weeks post treatment and today for the first time in about two months, I have a terrific appetite. Went to buy a few things I thought I could eat and sounded really palatable. Zero. Awful tasting. So, back to Boost and Ensure and I'll try again later in the week. I do not have a G-tube, have lost 35 lbs. and was of course admonished to get more calories in me. I have manageable pain, can swallow fine but I think I'm just expecting my taste buds to come back faster than is reasonable. Some dark days to be sure but I try to keep my spirits up by reminding myself how fortunate I am and to have opportunities such as this forum to find support, empathy and a willingness to share invaluable info. Thank you all.
