Welcome to OCF! Congrats on completing your treatments!
Being one month post rads, you still have a long road of recovering to go. You can look forward to getting much better than you currently are. Soon the good days will outnumber the bad ones.
the key to this whole thing is getting enough nutrition and hydration. Every single day for at least the next year your intake should be a minimum of 2500 calories and 48 oz of water. If you are struggling with holding your weight then increase the daily minimum to 3500 calories.
This list will help you relearn to eat again. Texture is very important right now and most of these foods have a smoother texture. The milkshake is huge and has about 2000 calories. Dont be afraid to drink 2 or even 3 of these per day without fear of gaining a ton of weight. many weeks I drank 2 or 3 and never gained an ounce.
Easy to Eat Food List (All measurements are estimates)
Giant High Calorie Choc-Peanut Butter Milkshake3 or 4 cups chocolate ice cream (regular/full fat type)
2 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth type)
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1 or 2 cups whole milk (can substitute half and half to add even more calories)
1 scoop carnation instant breakfast
1 scoop high protein whey powder
Blend this extra long to make it very smooth and creamy so it goes down easier.
Best wishes!
