Hi Jen,

I to had some appetite issues and was given Marinol to take. Which is medical pot. It didn't
make me hungry at all. I only took them for about a week. I found it's more of a will to eat that will help you. You will need the nutrients to heal as well as maintain.
Have you tried eating some smoothies? They pack alot of calories and protein. One smoothie equals
around 1300 calories and 42% of your daily protein needs. They are like eating a large milkshake.

2 cups ice cream
2 cups Whole milk
1 cup half & half
1 scoop of Whey protein powder. (bought at gnc)
1 package of Carnation instant breakfast. (Flavor your choice)
1 tablespoon malted milk powder
3 tablesoops of ovaltine. (Use this for the chocolate flavor only)

Mix in blender and serve in a chilled mug.
I find the strawberry ones taste the best.

As I get further out from my treatment I find I can eat normal food alot more now than right after treatment. The old sayin comes into play here. "Use it or Lose it". Homemade soups also are easy to eat. Steak is also another I find easy to eat. I to carry a bottle of water where ever I go. Part of my new life. Hoping you to can find the will and power to start eating again. The sooner you can take in the needed nutrients the sooner the peg comes out. I had my peg in for seven months.

Best wishes, Danny Boy
