Its probably all about the texture of food right now. Plus of course things arent tasting quite right at this time which makes it even harder. Keep trying different things as your sense of taste can change almost daily. One day something may taste like burnt cardboard and the next day it will be the best thing you have ever eaten. Beware, in another 2 weeks it could go back to tasting like cardboard again. Recovery is a strange time full of ups and downs and setbacks but you need ot keep trying different things. Here is a list of foods that are easier to eat. I hope this helps.
