Dave finished his treatment in May and in many ways is healing beautifully. However, his desire for and relationship to food is very different. He does have some taste but certainly not what it was.It seems harder for him to eat "normal " size portions. It (thankfully) is no longer uncomfortable for him to eat(although he does get the mucous thing sometimes while he is eating). It just seems as if his appetite is way down and his portions are so small compared to what they used to be. He is still using some ensure as a supplement to keep up the calorie intake he needs. I was wondering if other people found themselves with a reduced appetite or just a different attitude towards food in general. And if so, what helped to increase it.
