Everything you describe sounds about right for where you are at right now. Sometimes lack of activity can contribute to loss of appetite but I suspect it is more indicative of feeling the effects of treatment. Keep eating no matter what. There are a couple drugs they can try but it is always good to try and reintroduce food to your body. Try and eat those things you like the most. Sometimes just cooking something can stimulate the appetite.

As far as shakes there are lots of choices. I make my own and then I now what goes into them.
