[quote=John of arc]Right now I can only eat the boost shakes with an additive which similar to what you're eating. I too have not lost my taste. I think it's not as sharp and vivid as it was but I can still taste. But I have virtually no desire to eat as well and I, too, do get an upset stomach on occasion when I eat.
Part of it for me is that I think because it's painful it kind of squashes the urge to do it.
Another part of me thinks the radiation kinda just zapped my already not so great appetite.
And part of it as well I think is that eating has become a chore instead of an enjoyable experience. I remember not ever having to think "now how many calories does that add up to? Is that enough for today?".
I guess it's kind of turned into the same thing as pooping and peeing. I never fantasize about going, it's not something I look forward to doing, i'm just kind of indifferent and do it so I don't die. [/

John thank you for articulating what I was trying to say! You got it spot on! It used to be such a pleasure to eat and cook now its just a chore.
