Sherry, if you have been reading the forum for a while you probably know what I am about to tell you. Nutrition is very important and will help you with your recovery. You must get a minimum of 2500 calories and 48 oz of water every single day. Since you are so small, it would be a good idea to push yourself to get in at least 3000 calories a day. Adding some high protein powder will help with healing too. The better your nutrition, the faster you will recover.

I have no teeth at all. Dentures are not an option for me. This is something you will adapt to. I am able to eat a few items like yogurt, cream of wheat, cheesecake (only the very creamy kind), soup broth and a couple other things. Chocolate peanut butter milk shakes are high in calories about 2000 calories per shake. While I was recovering from chemo/rads I would drink 2 or sometimes even 3 of them and didnt gain an ounce. Thats due to my body working so hard to rebuild itself it burned up extra calories like crazy.
