Lisa,
I wrote a long post, then my net connection went down!
Summary---am skinny anyway and never had much appetite.
Lost 10LBs when jaw tumour stopped me eating--snacks to me are fruit and yoghurt!
During chemo, made notes/charts
Wholemeal toast + butter+ honey---or with full-fat cheese
Healthy cereal + whole-fat milk
Choccy bars whilst walking or after swimming
Cold meats/tinned tuna/tinned sardines etc(they're fortified), with plain boiled spuds plus butter plus chopped salads with full-fat dressings.
Chicken with creamed potatoes with whole-fat milk and butter.
Fresh soft fruits with double-cream
Fried mozarrella triangles!!!!!
Little boxes of nuts and raisins
Soups with butter-laden bread
All kinds of other stuff I typed and lost in original post, but found that making daily notes and weekly charts ensured I kinda 'made it a project to eat'--and gained 9Lbs in the process, felt healthy and blood counts stayed good!!
Had probs since, just started 'charting' again--it works!!
