Welcome to the forum. I am still hoping you may not need our group after all.
You are right to start eating now to boost your weight whichever way the biopsy goes. It may not be necessary to stock up on nutri shakes yet as the doctor/dietitian may recommend something else if you need it and what you've got may go to waste. That was what happened to me. I stocked up on protein powder, Ensure, etc and none of that was used in the end so it went to waste.
I applaud your determination to keep yourself comfortable. Taking good care of yourself and not to let the situation get you down is the best attitude to have to get you through treatment.
Please keep us posted and if you have questions, don't hesitate to come back and ask.
